--- title: Freemake Video Converter canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/freemake-video-converter/ category: Video Converter Software points: 37 rank: 8 of 11 facts_checked: 2026-10-09 --- # Freemake Video Converter Windows-only converter that is free to use but adds a Freemake logo until you buy the Mega Pack. 37 points out of 100. #8 of 11 video converters. Vendor: Mixbyte Inc.. Website: https://www.freemake.com/ - The free version adds a Freemake logo to converted videos; the paid Mega Pack removes it [4]. - The Mega Pack is sold as a trial or lifetime licence; no price is shown on its page [4]. - The downloads page offers a Windows installer only; it lists Windows Vista to 11 [3]. - Output codecs listed include H.265 (HEVC) and AV1, and the page says it handles 500+ formats [1]. - Subtitle files in SRT, ASS and SSA can be added to the output [1]. Verdict: Freemake suits people who want a free Windows converter for occasional jobs and can live with a logo on the output [1][4]. It lists HEVC and AV1 output, subtitles, DVD ripping and batch conversion [1]. The catch: removing the logo needs the Mega Pack, whose price is not shown on its page, and its support page names GPU encoding only for NVIDIA [4][6]. Best for: People who want a free Windows converter and accept a logo on the output. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Systems | Also runs on | None | 0/6 | The downloads page offers a Windows installer only; no Mac or Linux download is listed [3]. | | Formats | H.265 (HEVC) output | Yes | 4/4 | Converter page lists H.265 (HEVC) among codecs included [1]. | | Formats | AV1 output | Yes | 6/6 | Converter page lists AV1 among codecs included [1]. | | Formats | Editing codecs | Not published | 0/3 | Not published on the vendor's converter page; ProRes and DNxHD are not mentioned [1]. | | Formats | HDR kept or tone-mapped | Not published | 0/4 | Not published on the vendor's converter or home pages [1][2]. | | Formats | Audio-only conversion | Yes | 3/3 | Converter page lists AAC and says you can turn MP4 into MP3 [1]. | | Formats | Subtitles | Yes | 3/3 | Converter page says you can add SRT, ASS and SSA subtitle files and edit their size and font [1]. | | Speed | GPU encoding | NVIDIA NVENC | 4/12 | Support page says CUDA on NVIDIA graphics cards speeds up H.264 conversion in the converter and that CUDA deals with video encoding [6]. | | Batch and tools | Batch queue | Yes | 5/5 | Converter page says you can transform multiple video clips at once [1]. | | Batch and tools | Device presets | Yes | 3/3 | Converter page offers ready format settings for iPhone, iPad, Android, Sony PSP and Xbox [1]. | | Batch and tools | Command line or watch folder | Not published | 0/5 | Not published on the vendor's converter or support pages; no command line or watch folder is mentioned [1][6]. | | Batch and tools | Compress to a set file size | Not published | 0/4 | The converter page lists "Limit output file size" without saying you can enter a target size [1]. | | Batch and tools | Trim, crop and rotate | Not published | 0/3 | Converter page lists cutting and rotating 90 or 180 degrees, and removing black bars; crop is not named [1]. | | Batch and tools | Reads DVD or Blu-ray | Yes | 3/3 | Converter page says you can rip DVDs to MP4 and convert MTS files from Blu-ray discs [1]. | | Price and licence | Free version without a watermark | No | 0/12 | Remove Branding page says the free version adds a logo on converted clips; Mega Pack comparison lists no logo as paid-only [4][5]. | | Price and licence | Open source | Not published | 0/6 | Not published on the vendor's converter or support pages; no source repository is mentioned [1][6]. | | Price and licence | Pay once, keep it | Yes | 6/6 | Mega Pack page says checkout offers a trial option or a lifetime license; support page says 1 key is strictly for 1 PC [4][6]. | | Price and licence | Cheapest full version | Not published | 0/12 | Not published on the vendor's Mega Pack or Remove Branding pages; neither shows an amount [4][5]. | ## Plans | Plan | Price | Per month (USD) | |---|---|---| | Free | Free [4][6] | $0 | | Mega Pack | Not shown [4][6] | - | The Mega Pack page lists a trial or lifetime licence but no amount; checkout starts from a Buy button or the app's Help menu [4]. ## Strengths - Lists H.265 (HEVC) and AV1 among its output codecs [1]. - Adds SRT, ASS and SSA subtitle files and can rip DVDs to MP4 [1]. - Converts several clips at once and offers ready settings for iPhone, iPad, Android, PSP and Xbox [1]. - The free license does not expire, and the core options are free [6]. ## Limits - The free version adds a Freemake logo to videos [4]. - Windows only: the downloads page lists no Mac or Linux installer [3]. - The Mega Pack page shows no price, only a trial or lifetime licence choice [4]. - The support page names NVIDIA CUDA for H.264 encoding and DXVA for decoding, and names no Intel or AMD encoding [6]. ## Vendor claims (not scored) - Freemake says the Mega Pack increases conversion speed up to 4 times [4]. ## Sources 1.
