Convert video format

Convert between MP4, WebM, MKV and MOV; MP4 and MOV get H.264 video and AAC sound so any player opens them, and other formats copy streams when they can. Scale down, remove the sound or trim at the same time. Encoding uses the browser.

About this tool

Convert videos between MP4, WebM, MKV and MOV, for example to turn a WebM screen recording into an MP4 for sharing, to make a lower-resolution copy that takes less space, or to remove the sound from a clip.

MP4 and MOV get H.264 video and AAC sound when your browser can encode them, while WebM and MKV keep the original streams when the format allows. You can also scale the video down and cut a time range. Up to 5 videos, 80 MB in total, are converted in your browser and are not uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Choose up to 5 MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM videos, or drop them on the page.
  2. Pick the “Output format” and, for a smaller video, a “Largest height” such as 720p.
  3. Set “Sound” to “Remove” for a silent video. To keep only part of it, fill in “Start” and “End” in seconds or m:ss.
  4. Select Run, then preview and download the results.

Common questions

Why is one conversion quick and another slow?

When the new format accepts the original video and sound, they are copied, which is fast and keeps the quality. Changing the codec, for example from an H.264 MP4 to WebM, or scaling down means your browser decodes and re-encodes every frame, which takes much longer.

Will choosing 720p enlarge a smaller video?

No. “Largest height” only scales down videos that are taller than it, and the width follows the original aspect ratio.

Why does a long video fail partway?

Each run may take at most 2 minutes. If re-encoding takes longer, convert a shorter part with “Start” and “End”, pick a format that can copy the streams, or convert one video at a time.

Is an MP4 result always H.264?

Only if your browser can encode H.264 at that size; likewise the sound becomes AAC only if the browser can encode AAC. Otherwise the original streams are kept, and some players may not open the file.

How do I save just the sound?

Use “Extract audio from video” to save the sound track as its own audio file.
