The best way to convert videos is to use a desktop application that has the video conversion facility. But almost every video converter application is paid and the free versions can convert only up to some duration of the media file. This makes it very difficult to have an offline video converter.
Moreover, if the video you want to convert is available online, then it’s better to first convert the video online and then download it.

Like other online video converters in the list, Apowersoft Free Online Video Converter can also convert your video into many different audio and video formats. Some of the popular supported formats are MP4, AVI, MP3, Wave, MOV, 3GP, etc. Resolution, bit rate and frame rate can be configured according to our own personal preference. The only thing it lacks is the ability to convert videos by fetching it from the URL on the web.
