Format Factory is a free, fully-featured, converter that enables you to
convert audio, video, and even images, between the most popular formats.
Format
Factory's supported formats include WMV, AVI, MPG, MP3, WMA, AAC, JPG,
PNG, GIF, and many more. Better still, Format Factory supports media
formats used by most major portable devices, including PSP and iPhone.
The
app is very easy to use, although it does have a slightly unintuitive
interface. Format Factory's file browser doesn't appear until you select
the target format, which is a bit weird, but as long as you know this
it's no problem. You can select individual files to convert, or complete
folders, and also tweak some basic conversion settings.
Format
Factory isn't particularly original but what makes it really useful is
that it handles images as well as audio and video. Most converters like
this only handle audio and video, so adding images to the mix gives it
an edge, especially considering it's free. We also like the Audio Joiner
in Format Factory, which allows you to take two separate clips, join
them together and then convert them. It would've been nice to have
preset profiles for mobile conversions, but you can't always have it all
in a free app!
Format Factory is an excellent conversion tool for anyone who converts between video, audio and images on a regular basis.
