Convert a video to MP4 (or WebM)
Choose a video and pick MP4 or WebM. The converter re-encodes it in your browser and you download the new file. MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) plays on almost every phone, laptop, TV and website. WebM (VP9, Opus) is for sites and tools that ask for it. The resolution stays the same, there is no watermark, and the video is never uploaded.
Common conversions
| From | To | Why |
|---|---|---|
| MOV (iPhone, Mac) | MP4 | Plays on Windows, Android and upload forms |
| WebM (screen recordings, downloads) | MP4 | Wider support for editing and sharing |
| MKV / AVI | MP4 | Plays in more apps |
| MP4 | WebM | A site or developer asks for WebM |
Tips
- Choose MP4 unless you have a reason to use WebM.
- Trim first if you only need part of a long video. It saves time.
- To shrink the file as well, run Compress video afterwards.
Limits
DRM-protected videos and some unusual codecs can’t be converted. Long or 4K videos can be slow on a phone. The first run downloads the converter once.
