Convert video online

Change a video's format in your browser. When the source codecs are native to the new container (H.264/HEVC/AV1 for MP4 and MOV, VP9/VP8/AV1 for WebM), the file is simply repackaged — no re-encoding, no quality loss.

How it works

  1. Pick a video file — it stays on your device.
  2. Choose the format you need.
  3. Press Convert and download the result.

Limitations

Repackaging without re-encoding is possible when both tracks — video and audio — are ones the new container really plays everywhere: H.264/HEVC/AV1 with AAC/MP3 for MP4 and MOV, VP9/VP8/AV1 with Opus/Vorbis for WebM; MKV takes anything as is. Then only the wrapper changes, quality is untouched and the file is ready in seconds. Otherwise the offending track is re-encoded: a WebM with VP9 and Opus going to MP4 is re-encoded in full, and so is H.264 going to WebM. Speed depends on your device, since your browser's own codecs do the work.

Frequently asked questions

Where does my file get uploaded?

Nowhere. Conversion happens in your browser, on your device — the file is never sent to a server.

Why did the conversion take less than a second?

It means the source codecs fit the new container and the file was simply repackaged — no re-encoding, no quality loss (that is what happens with MP4 → MOV or MKV, for instance). A WebM with VP9 and Opus cannot be moved into MP4 that way: MP4 players do not open such tracks, so the video is re-encoded, which takes minutes.

Which format should I choose?

MP4 — maximum compatibility: phones, TVs, editing software. WebM — smaller size for the web. MOV — for Apple devices and editing. MKV — a universal container for storage.

Does conversion lose quality?

With repackaging — none at all. If the container requires another codec and re-encoding is needed, the loss is minimal: we encode at high quality.

Can I turn MP4 into MP3?

Yes — with the Extract audio tool on this site: it pulls the audio track into MP3, M4A or WAV.

Is it free? Is there a size limit?

Free, no watermarks, no sign-up. There is no hard limit on the source, but the result is assembled in tab memory, so the browser cannot produce a file larger than 4 GB.
