    Review Format Factory

    Format Factory is one of those essential programs on the computer of any user who has to perform all kinds of tasks with different multimedia files and who, for various reasons, needs to modify their formats to make the best use of them. Precisely, the proposal of this program has to do with offering us an integral platform that allows us to convert files from one format to another, no matter what kind of content we are talking about.

    This software is a free tool but very powerful that will allow you to convert your audio, video, or image files in just a few seconds without wasting time or downloading add-ons. And since it supports many formats in all segments, you won't need to download another program like it afterward.

    For example, thanks to this tool, you can modify your files to transfer them later to a specific device, such as an Android cell phone, an iPhone, a video game console, etc. At the same time, it is also beneficial if you want to burn those files to a disc, read them later on a TV, through a HiFi device, and many more. In almost all of these circumstances, a file converter is needed.

    Format Factory offers many options for the output format, whether you want to modify an audio file, a video file, or an image. Particularly interesting is what happens with videos and audio since it integrates some added functions, such as joining or pasting them and generating a single file from several. Thus, you will avoid having to download another program to complement them.

    The operation of this program is effortless. All you have to do is open it on your computer once installed, and on the left column, you will notice that most of the available functions are there. You must select the file in question and then set the output format.

    At the same time, the software also has an assistance system that can be very useful for beginner users. For example, instead of choosing an output format, you can indicate that you want the file best suited for a Mobile Device. This way, the program will modify it so that when you take it to your smartphone, you can store and play it without any inconvenience.

    Another not minor issue, especially if instead of modifying a single file, you intend to convert the format of several of them, is the batch action of Format Factory. This program allows you to change a large number of files at the same time as long as the output format is the same for all of them. This way, you will avoid dragging them one by one, which can be very annoying.

    Beyond that, it must be said that compared to other similar programs, this one doesn't stand out too much for its advanced options, although in general, it doesn't lack anything that is missed. This feature makes it a highly recommended choice for most novice users or those who want a system that modifies the formats of their image, audio, or video files but little else.

    Of course, as with any software of this type, Format Factory will allow you to modify the destination folder of all your content as many times as you want. In this way, you will be able to send the modified files to the Desktop, to a download folder, or to the device you have connected to your computer via USB, saving you a subsequent step.

    Visually, this software is quite simple and intuitive. And although we cannot modify its contents, it is at least possible to change its color or skin. Although the original version is white tone, then we have many other options better to adapt it to the environment of our computer. In particular, we liked the dark version, although there are many more striking ones, and indeed you will find one you want above the others.

    Less relevant but perhaps attractive for users learning a particular language is that this program is available in up to 62 languages, so you can configure it as you want. Although it does not have too many customization options, this is one of them.

    Then, if you want to use this program only once and think it is not worth installing, you should know that it has a lighter portable version. Although it does not have all the functions of the original, it can get you out of trouble, especially if you are away from home or using another Windows computer. A good option is to take its portable version on a Pendrive to use it wherever you want.

    Format Factory is compatible with the following formats, among others:

    • Audio: MP3, OGG, WMA, FLAC, M4A, WAV
    • Image: JPG, BMP, PNG, TIF, ICO
    • Video: MP4, AVI, 3GP, MPG and FLV, MOV

    And how has our experience been? Irreproachable, we have not had any problems with this program. It has been stable during all the use, modified the specified formats, pasted videos when required, and all in optimal time lapses. Nor have we suffered any lags or forced shutdowns that we can point out.
