There is NO Freemake Video Converter for Mac by now!
We, Freemake Devs, warn all Mac users: don’t trust any websites offering Freemake Video Converter for Mac. Such tools may have similar to our trademark name: “Free Make, Free-make, Fremake”, but ALL THOSE TOOLS HAVE NO RELATION to our company.
Freemake Video Converter for Mac DOES NOT EXIST! Currently, there is only Freemake Movie Converter for Windows as well as Freemake Video Downloader and other Freemake software.
We didn’t upload any Freemake programs on iTunes or other stores. Again, there is only Windows-based Freemake software.
Alternative Way to use Freemake on Mac
If you desire that hard to have Freemake on Mac, you may try to use Parallels Desktop, VirtualBox and other virtual machines for Mac. For those who don’t know, what a virtual machine for Mac is, it’s a kind of operating system that is installed on your Mac computer and lets you use Windows or Linux within a particular app. Don’t worry, your Mac OS won’t be deleted or substituted for Windows! It’ll continue being a default operating system. The only difference is that now you’ll have an app that, let’s say, “keep” Windows OS inside. Whenever you need to use Windows, simply run this special app and do your job.
Unfortunately, not all the software can fully run through virtual machine due to various restrictions. So, please keep in mind, that we don’t bear any responsibility for our tools working on Windows-on-Mac emulation software, either. Please consider it before creating a support ticket.
To install Freemake Video Converter, Freemake Video Downloader, Freemake Audio Converter on a virtual machine, you need:
Freemake Video Converter Mac Full
- Run AppStore app on your Mac;
- Find and download Parallels Desktop, VirtualBox or any other software of this kind;
- Install the software on your Mac;
- Run the app and follow the instructions to install Windows on it. Please note you should have a license copy of Windows OS on a CD, a DVD, or a USB drive;
- As soon as you are done, start Windows OS and go to Freemake official site;
- Download and install Freemake software;
- Run Freemake on Mac through your virtual machine.
As you can see, the installation requires time and some tech knowledge. And besides, some Freemake options might become unavailable. One more drawback is that a virtual machine will occupy a lot of space on your hard drive. Thus, it’d be much better to have a fully Mac compatible Freemake version.
Please note that modern Macbooks & iMacs rarely have CD/DVD drives. So in case you need to use Freemake as a free DVD burner software on Mac, you will also need an external drive.
