Love making videos
April 25, 2018

I just happened upon this website years ago. And have used it for over 6 years now. Everyone loves my slideshows and videos that I created for birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations just to name a few. No one site is perfect and I can see room for improvements (editing). I have learned how to do something new every time I login to the website. I have a lifetime package and it works for me.

After pouring my heart out on videos, just like others it seems I have to pay 15 dollars to download my video without watermark. Granted, but then the video crashes, freezes, doesn't seamlessly splice or merge, and many times you cannot find back button and your lose all your work. What is a 4 minute work takes 50 hours.

Horrible. Do not recommend. My money lost and wasted for nothing. It is sad because it has potential; probably the developers half-a---ed it.

Sorry to hear about the troubles encountered! Have you emailed us at [email protected] so we can better assist you? We try to keep the majority of Kizoa free, which is why you're able to create a free account to make movies of unlimited time length to share online, or download to your computer if under 1 minute long. We also do offer lifetime Premium memberships for more advanced features. It's thanks to our Premium memberships that we're able to continue development, and do our best to improve Kizoa!

It would be nice to disclose that i will have to pay to use your service before i put effort into making a video.
Since i did enjoy the website i was thinking of purchasing a membership in the future but now after this i do not want to use your service again.

I apologize for the confusion! While the majority of Kizoa is free, including making and sharing movies of unlimited duration online, or downloading to your computer if under 1 minute in length, we do also offer Premium lifetime memberships to unlock more features. While we would like to offer a completely free site, this is difficult as we also have to maintain the Kizoa company, servers, employees, etc so as we can continue to improve Kizoa as much as possible ;)

Incrustation

Est ce qu'on peut incruster une video dans une video. Exemple un petit carre dans un coin de la video.

Bonjour,
En effet, vous pouvez rassembler deux vidéos sur la même diapositive, pour cela il suffit de créer un collage animé avec les deux vidéos (une en plein écran par exemple et l'autre en petit format à côté dans un coin).

22/5/2020 I am a big fan of Kizoa and have used them for years and given excellent reviews on this site for them, but I really do not know what has happened over the last year or so. Have they changed platform providers or employed another company to run the website? They still have a great customer service department and reply to my questions speedily, but there seem to be glitches now that I never experienced before: No facility to clip within the site, the screen often goes blank while photos and videos are uploading, preventing you from continuing working, and slower to download. I do hope they get themselves sorted as I feel really loyal to this company and want them to do well.

When this program first came out I purchased it with the hopes it would improve. It has not. It's not only become slow and cumbersome but it has removed some of the features (like not shrinking the hell out of your files) I actually liked.

I do not recommend Kizoa at all.

Not very pleased
December 19, 2017

I was making a video about myself on Kizoa. I thought it would be good because it was pretty ok in the making part. But when I tried to download the video, they said I have to upgrade. Just to download? I was really upset. I have been looking for a good online free video editor for forever and I haven't found anything good. I won't use Kizoa anymore.

Hi Fafi, with a free Kizoa account you can share your videos online for free without any time limitations, however, if you want to download it to your computer you need to make sure your video is under 1 minute long ;)

I made a project on their website and when I was ready to export, they told me I already had an account and they claimed it was expired and I needed to upgrade to a premium account. I have never used this website before today so I was a little surprised. Then they actually blocked my project and kicked me off until I would upgrade. I am seething. Don't claim to offer a free service and then let people waste their friggin time and energy on something that obviously doens't pay off.

Kizoa never blocks or removes creations regardless of your account status. It sounds like to may have a duplicate account, but we can easily help you access your correct account with the movie you've made by simply contacting our customer support. I will send you a private message so that you can share your email address and I can help you re-access your account ;)

Horrible & Stupid
November 6, 2017

Horrible, frustrating tool that advertises as a free video editor, yet forgets to mention that the free version of your cut video will have a disgusting green kizoa logo about the size of a quarter of your video on the top corner. You just wasted 50minuts of my time I spent cutting out small chunks of video, and now I have to start over again with an actual video editor that wasn't made by some stupid $#*!s with no idea how to monetize a product without putting their stupid logo everywhere. I hate Kizoa, it sucks, and I wish never tried this stupid bull$#*!. I better not be receiving any email from you through your forced subscription unless it's an apology for wasting my time.

We're sorry for your frustration. The majority of Kizoa is free, for example you can create a movie of unlimited duration for free to share online via email, Facebook, YouTube, etc. You can also download your movie for free so long as it lasts under 1 minute. We do also offer certain features exclusively under our Premium memberships such as removing logos. Without our Premium memberships we wouldn't be able to maintain Kizoa. As I'm sure you can understand, the majority of online programs would love to offer everything for free, but alas, this isn't always feasible.

Good, challenging, fun experience
July 13, 2017

I really enjoyed the outcome and so did everyone else. I'm more or less computer illiterate but I was able to make it through and create a beautiful video. Though it was very challenging at times it was also fun. I will definitely be making more videos.
I do think better directions are definitely needed though.

I just purchased Kizoa and am quite happy.
Only a few main concerns.
Even after purchasing the second highest one I still get pop-ups to try and get me to upgrade.
I agree very much with the other review that it should not be too difficult to check off the
Pics that I have already put in.
I cannot see how to pause my music while a video is playing?

Good experience so far except for the music. Not enough selection and loading my own takes a long time. Also I can't fade out my music and cut it when I would like.

Don't Try
July 11, 2017

Charge you at the end, you don't get your movie immediately, incredibly hard program to work with, once the pictures are in kizoa you cannot get them back out except one by one in a very tedious process.
Never again.

Issues
July 12, 2017

My first burn to DVD worked great. After that, I can't burn anything directly to DVD. I have to wait for Kizoa to download. That's not what it's supposed to be.

Easy peasy

Love Kizoa. Been trying so many different slideshow makers and had trouble with every one of them. Kizoa is so reasonably priced. They answer help email so quickly. The support is very nice, kind, and smart.

Does not meet my needs to make a simple video, feels very cheap and is always glitching. The most frustrating thing is that you can't make a quality video on 480 p which is what's offered ( unless you want to 50$ for video in 600 p which is still only OK). Also, you have to pay to get the logo out of the video and title. I do like that I don't have to sign up or log in though. But still, I've seen other video editors that offer more and are better made.

Your movie can be downloaded in these formats for free if you make a movie under 60 seconds but you'll have to purchase a premium account with us for a one time fee of $29.99 in order to download movies that are up to 10 minutes in length.
