Working with video formats can be a minefield, whether you're producing video as part of your creative business or simply trying to watch a downloaded video on a platform that refuses to play ball. Choosing the wrong type of video format might mean that that your TV, tablet or phone simply doesn't want to know about it, and it can also cause problems if you're producing video content for a client and their systems can't cope with it.

It doesn't help that there are any number of file formats that you can choose and a similarly bewildering choice of video codecs. Pick the wrong combination, and you could end up with something that works for you but won't play for anyone else, or you could unwittingly produce an enormous file that takes ages to download or is too big for your preferred file transfer service. So if you want to ensure that as many people as possible can see your video or download your latest showreel, it pays to get the video format right.

That's where Movavi Video Converter can save you a world of headaches. It's a smart but straightforward program that enables you to quickly and easily output video in a format that's guaranteed to play on the platforms you're targeting, and makes it simple to get the right resolution and aspect ratio and find the perfect quality settings and file size.

Get the results you need

Movavi Video Converter is easy to get to grips with, but powerful and versatile enough to deliver exactly the results you need. It offers a smooth and user-friendly experience, so that on the most basic level you can feed it a video file and get a converted version out in just a few quick clicks.

If you have very specific video requirements, though, it's just as simple to use and fully capable of meeting your needs. It's compatible with just about every video file format and codec you can imagine – as well as plenty that you didn't know about or had forgotten even existed – so it'll happily work with pretty much any video file you have, and convert it to practically any format you might wish for.
