Video Converter
Media & Video StudioConvert between MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, and more.
What is Video Converter?
Video Converter changes a clip from one container and codec to another — MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM — entirely in your browser. Drop in a video, pick a target format, and download the converted file. The MP4, MOV, and MKV targets use H.264 video with AAC audio, while WebM uses VP8 with Vorbis. Because it runs locally with in-browser FFmpeg (WebAssembly), your footage is never uploaded.
How to use Video Converter
Add your video
Drag a file onto the drop zone or click to browse. Most common formats can be read as input. The in-browser video engine loads in the background while you choose a target.
Pick a target format
Choose MP4 (H.264 / AAC), MOV (H.264 / AAC), MKV (H.264 / AAC), or WebM (VP8 / Vorbis) from the Target format menu. MP4 is the safest choice for broad compatibility.
Convert
Click Convert to run the transcode. Note that WebM (VP8) encoding is noticeably slower than the H.264 targets, so allow extra time for longer clips.
Preview and download
Play the converted clip in the built-in preview to confirm it looks right, then download it. Everything is processed on your device, so nothing is uploaded.
