Convert Video

Pick the file, pick the format, download. When the source codec already fits the target format, the tool swaps the container alone — a near-instant operation that loses not one bit of quality. When it does not fit, it re-encodes and says so. All inside the tab, with the video going nowhere.

How it works

mp4 and mov usually carry the same H.264, and converting between them is literally changing the wrapper: the command is -c copy and it takes seconds even on a half-hour file. webm is another story, because it needs VP9 or AV1, and neither comes out of an mp4 without re-encoding. VP9 in WebAssembly is slow — expect several minutes for a few minutes of video, and prefer it for short web-bound clips. If your only goal is a smaller file, compressing by CRF does that better than changing format.

  • Output to mp4 (H.264), webm (VP9) and mov (H.264)
  • Container swap with no re-encode when the codecs are compatible
  • CRF quality control when a re-encode is unavoidable
  • Before and after size comparison
