Our Opinion
What seems like a free Video converting software may turn out to be useful. The Video converting seems promising, it is fast and doesn’t take a lot of processing power as its competitor. It’s also quite surprising to see YouTube and online video downloader integrated into the software, this might come handy for some users. Although the performance of the software is top-notch, we are quite sceptical of its user experience. We will surely see a better user interface incoming updates, but we will stick with its silent and powerful performance. If you’re looking for a good video converted that doesn’t drain your laptop’s battery, then this is it.
That’s for this one. Thanks
