Free Video To 3GP Converter

Free Video To 3GP Converter is an easy-to-use tool designed to convert various types of video clips into 3GP format. It offers support for 3GP, ASF, AVI and MPEG, among others.
The app doesn't have advanced options or configuration settings, so it can be used by those with no previous experience with video conversion software.

Pay attention to setup

Keep in mind that .NET Framework must be installed, since this app was developed with the aid of this platform. Plus, you should pay attention to setup, as it offers to download and install an additional program that it doesn't actually need to work properly. The offer can be declined to make a clean installation, though.

Plain and simple GUI

As far as the interface is concerned, Free Video To 3GP Converter adopts a small window that shows all options provided by the utility. You can resort to the classical file browser to find and select the video file you're attempting to convert, indicate the saving directory and filename, and click a button to start the operation immediately.

Convert videos to 3GP

It can be paused to temporarily allocate system resources to other running processes, as well as canceled if you change your mind. On task completion, you can open the output directory without leaving the interface, in order to launch the new 3GP videos in your media player and examine quality results.

Evaluation and conclusion

It worked smoothly in our tests, without causing the OS to hang, crash or prompt error messages. CPU and RAM consumption was minimal, so it didn't hamper PC performance. On the other hand, it doesn't make room for configuration.
For example, it doesn't give you the possibility to edit the audio and video properties of the output 3GP files, such as bit rate, frame rate or channel mode. Moreover, it doesn't support batch processing, so you're restricted to converting only one video at a time. Nevertheless, Free Video To 3GP Converter gets the job done and it's free to use.
