Steps
Add your video
Drag a MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, M4V, or MP4 onto the box, or click Choose a file.
Keep Most compatible on
Most compatible (H.264) re-encodes HEVC, VP9, and others so the MP4 plays on every device. Turn it off to keep the original video stream, which is faster.
Click Convert to MP4
Progress and a time estimate are shown.
Download the result
Click Download to save the MP4. The original file is left exactly as it was.
Tips
- iPhone HEVC videos that won't play on Windows or older Android? Keep Most compatible on.
- Need it smaller too? Run Compress video on the MP4 next.
Questions
- Why is converting with Most compatible slower?
- It rebuilds the video in the H.264 format. Turned off, the video is just repackaged, which takes seconds.
- Is there a size limit?
- No fixed limit. Very long videos are limited by your device's memory.
