Convert video online

Most format problems are not really format problems — the video inside the file is already fine, it is just in the wrong box. When that is the case we swap the box and leave the video alone, which takes seconds and costs you no quality at all.

Works with public and direct video links.

How to use it

  1. Paste a video link or upload your file.
  2. Choose Convert.
  3. Pick the output format you need.
  4. Press Convert.
  5. Download the converted file.

Features

Instant when possible

H.264 video inside a MOV is the same H.264 video inside an MP4. We detect that and rewrite only the container — no decoding, no quality loss, done in seconds.

Original quality preserved

Wherever the codecs allow it we copy the video stream instead of re-encoding it. That means no generation loss, no blurring, and a result that finishes in seconds.

Private by default

No sign-up, no tracking of what you process, and automatic deletion. Your links are never sent to analytics and your files are never made public.

Built for phones

Large touch targets, a timeline you can actually drag with a thumb, and a sticky action button. Works in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android without an app.

How it works technically

A container (MP4, MKV, MOV, WebM) is a wrapper; the codec (H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1) is the actual compression. We compare the source codec against what the target container can legally hold. If it fits, we run FFmpeg with -c copy and only the wrapper changes. If it does not — VP9 into MP4, for example — we re-encode, and only then does it take real processing time.

Frequently asked questions

Which format should I choose?

MP4 unless you have a specific reason not to — it plays on every phone, browser, TV and editor. WebM is smaller for the web but less widely supported; MKV is best for archiving because it holds almost anything; MOV is the natural fit for Apple editing tools.

What happens to my file after processing?

It is deleted automatically. Your result is stored in a temporary folder for a short window so you can download it, then removed permanently along with any intermediate files. We do not publish, index, share or keep your media, and we never use it to train AI models.

Do I need to install any software?

No. Everything runs in your browser and on our servers, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone. There is no app to install and no account to create.

Can I process any video I find online?

Only content you own or are otherwise permitted to process. The service works with publicly accessible links and does not bypass DRM, paywalls, sign-in or any other access control. You are responsible for having the rights to the material you submit.
