  • Great customer service for a not so bright PC user

    I am sometimes careless and have had to reload windows twice, losing everything in the process. AVC was super quick to respond. The second time the code they sent me didn't seem to work. They worked with me until the issue was resolved. Me being careless (stupid) again. Their customer service is GREAT! I love the product also. It works as claimed. I highly recommend it.

  • I highly recommend Any Video Converter

    I really enjoy using Any Video Recorder. I save my favorite tunes and tutorials to be able to find and listen to in my free time. Great quality. I purchased the full version of AVC. Customer support has been fantastic. They have answered my email questions within 24 hours. They value feedback and have put into place with their development team fixes for an issue I have submitted. They take feedback seriously and take action to resolve the issue.

  • Powerful application. Speedy support. Great all around

    I loved the free app so much that I bought a lifetime license. I recently needed support for an updating issue. I received an immediate response and they took care of the problem perfectly.

  • Love the app and of course the support team

    quite a few years. Recently I encountered problems downloading YouTube videos, so I sent an email the support team, asking for help. I received a reply in a very timely manner indeed with simple instructions on how to rectify the problem. Worked like a charm, the support team is excellent, love the app and of course the support team.

  • Any Video Converter is a MUST HAVE program

    Any Video Converter has been a program I can't live without for several years now. I use it for many different uses. Converting and clipping both audio and video files is easy. Extracting video from a variety of websites is easy. Rendering new video with with added subtitles is easy. Now with the latest version, so many new features: AI image and video generation and audio splitting and video compression are just some of the functions. This is a must have PC tool.

  • I began using them in 2014

    I began using them in 2014, have upgraded computers 2x since then and they have been FAST and efficient in helping me get new keys moving to the new system. Product has been exactly what i wanted when i bought it, and 12yrs later still use it. Great product, Great support.

  • Excellent and Speedy problem resolution

    I've used Any Video Converter and Any Video Converter Pro for many years and have been very happy with the software. An issue arose recently when I had to update AVC Pro. I emailed the Any Video Converter Support Team and received a clear and concise answer very quickly which solved the issue. So, in addition to having liked Any Video Converter (the free version) and AVC Pro (with a small annual fee), I am really happy with the customer service I received.

  • Any Video Converter tech ROCKS

    Any Video Converter tech support is one of the best I have work with. They get back to you immediately and have always resolved my issues. I cannot be more satisfied with my purchase of their fine product backed up by excellent support! Dr. Keller

  • AVC just works

    I have been using Any Video Converter for about 2 years now, and I'm very impressed. It just works, and works well. For me, it really shines as a downloader for online videos. If I want to use an online streaming video in a setting when I can't be online or need to insert it into a presentation, AVC will pull it down for me and convert it to whatever format I need. It's UI is intuitive and simple, and just effective. No messing around. It was worth the cost of purchase.

  • Sign-in or verification required: Log in through the built-in browser and retry. For private, age-restricted, or members-only videos, your account must have access to the content.
  • Video unavailable: Open the link in your browser to check whether the video is still available and accessible in your region.
  • Too many requests: Pause downloads and try again later. Download fewer videos at a time and wait a while before starting more downloads.
  • Conversion failed: Check that the downloaded file plays correctly and that your output drive has enough free space.

If the issue persists, contact us through the in-app Feedback Center with a short description so our support team can investigate.

It depends on the content, your permissions, and the laws in your country. Only download and convert content you own or are authorized or otherwise legally permitted to use. “Royalty-free” does not automatically mean unrestricted use, so check the license terms before downloading. You should also always comply with YouTube’s Terms of Service.
