What this tool does

  • Converts between MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, FLV, WMV, and ProRes.
  • Choose codec (H.264, H.265, VP9, ProRes, DNxHD).
  • Resize, change frame rate, trim, and re-encode audio.
  • Apply filters and color grading optionally.

Why it matters

  • Editing apps, browsers, and social platforms each prefer different formats.
  • Smaller video files improve page-load time and bandwidth costs.
  • Re-encoding lets you fix wrong codecs or unplayable files.

Advanced details
  • H.264 in MP4 is the safe-everywhere default.
  • H.265 (HEVC) and VP9 give ~25–50% smaller files at the same visual quality, but need a modern player.
  • For editing handoffs, ProRes (in MOV) or DNxHD (in MOV/MXF) preserve the most quality.

  • Full control over codec, bitrate, and audio in one upload.
  • AI transcription available on the same file.

Frequently asked questions

  • What output format is best?

    MP4 with H.264 for compatibility, WebM with VP9 for the smallest web files.

  • Can I trim before converting?

    Yes — the trim section of the form lets you cut the clip down before re-encoding.

  • Will my audio stay in sync?

    Yes — FFmpeg keeps A/V sync. If you change frame rate or speed, audio is resampled accordingly.

  • Is there a file-size limit?

    Very large files may be rejected on the free tier. Try lowering the resolution first.
