Hamster Free Video Converter also supports drag and drop feature so you can easily import files into the program.

It only requires 3 steps to convert your videos. First, add the file (supports batch conversion). Second, edit* the videos before converting it.

* Edit means choosing the format for your video, changing the codec and the video quality, and the option to resize the video.

The third and final step is to convert the video. If you’re done editing the video, just press the “Convert” button. That’s it! Just wait for the program to finish converting the video and you can now play it on your favorite devices.

Another cool thing about Hamster Free Video Converter is that it allows you to change the color of the interface to whatever color you wish! Just go to the Settings and click Theme.

Hamster Free Video Converter is a really nice program, however, it lacks some simple features which can be commonly found on other video converters like rotate, crop and adding watermarks.
