    Powtoon makes amazing movies and presentations rapidly. Its simple interface and many choices make it perfect for beginners in video and graphic design. Its versatility and cost make it a good choice for video and presentation creation, despite its lack of advanced capabilities.

    Pros

    I even without video or graphic design knowledge, Powtoon makes video and presentation creation simple. I may start quickly with its simple interface and tutorials. Powtoon gives me many themes, animations, pictures, and sound effects to create unique films and presentations. The software lets me add images, text, audio, and more to my projects.

    Cons

    Powtoon lacks 3D transitions, better text animations, and advanced audio editing. For major video and presentation creators, Powtoon might be expensive.

    Powtoon has helped me to create multiple videos for university and school and they all turn out really cool.

    Pros

    What I like most are the animations, because some of them come pre-animated and you just have to put them. Another thing is that everything is very good quality.

    Cons

    What I don't like is that you have to pay mostly for everything, so you dont have a variety of free templates or animations to use.

    I have created dozens of videos for internal comms, advertising, recruiting and training. It has made my life so easy and with great reward and outcome.

    Pros

    This is a super simple app to create fun and vibrant communications pieces either with cartoons or video.

    Cons

    I think customer service could be much better. I don't think I've ever gotten ahold of a live person.

    Alternatives Considered

    Filmora

    Reasons for Choosing PowToon

    I didn't exactly make a total switch because I still need to edit some video before dropping it in to Powtoons, but the functionality of Powtoons and its ability to drag and drop anything into the video at any time is so cool. And it has a huge database of photos, video, and other tidbits.
