You can also convert video files to audio and create custom covers in seconds. > > **Cons**: Anchor is not the best when it comes to recording: for this function it might be better to opt for an external recorder and then import the audio files to Anchor. > > Anchor is a good option for many podcasters and a very poor one for others. If you want to test the world of podcasts and you're not sure yet and you're looking for a completely free platform, Anchor is a great solution. It actually does its job very well\! ----- ### "Best software for podcast hosting & distribution." — 4.0/5 > **Nujan** | *11 December 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is undoubtedly one of the greatest and free podcast hosting softwares. Anchor allows us to publish to numerous channels simultaneously. I've been hosting and distributing podcasts for a few months. It is simple and straightforward to use. This software also allows for the editing of podcasts on a basic level. > > **Cons**: I believe that things would be even better if the content were published a little bit earlier than they are right now. At the moment, it may take a few days for the updated podcast content to become available. > > Absolutely Amazing. Everything you need as a podcast publisher. ----- ### "Anchor Charts An Easy Path For Beginner Podcasters" — 5.0/5 > **Morgan** | *22 January 2022* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that this is very easy program to use, but there are many ways to add professional details. > > **Cons**: I would love a more detailed description of the more advanced features, such as editing my podcast. > > I very much like using Anchor, the experience has been great for me as a beginner. I highly recommend this software to anyone who wants to quickly get started with blogging. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/242142/anchor?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/242142/anchor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
