Android phones: Android systems can support a much broader set of video file types and it is best to test it out. You can use the tools below to make several different file types and then try it out.

Tools recommended for formatting video content:

  • Any Video Converter- Free tool to convert video files into common smartphone formats.  You can choose specific phones/operating systems.
