About Format Factory

A free all-in-one converter, made easy to find

Format Factory is a free, multifunctional media converter for Windows. It brings video, audio, image, document and disc tools together in one application, so you can convert files, shrink large media, extract audio, repair supported files, process PDFs and back up DVDs without juggling a different program for every task.

Why this site exists

format-factory.com is an independent resource built to be the clearest place to download Format Factory and understand what it can do. We keep the information plain and practical: what each tool is for, which formats it handles, and how to get a good result the first time. The download we point to is the genuine application - nothing is repackaged, wrapped in a custom installer, or padded with extras.

Who makes Format Factory

Format Factory is developed by Free Time, which maintains the application with compatibility updates, stability improvements and support for additional formats and codecs. You can learn more about the software on the official Format Factory website.

Get better conversion results

Choose your output format based on where the file is going - MP4 for broad video compatibility, MP3 for audio, JPG or PNG for most images. Avoid converting an already-compressed file again and again, keep the source frame rate unless you have a reason to change it, and use realistic resolutions: scaling a low-resolution clip up will not restore detail. Before processing a large batch, test your settings on a single representative file and keep the originals until you have checked the results.
