    Is my file uploaded?

    No. Everything runs in your browser - your file never leaves your device. How this is verifiable

    Whether it's an iPhone video that needs to be an MP4, an MKV that needs to become WebM for the web, or a WebM file that needs to play everywhere as MP4 - this one tool converts between MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM. You just pick the target format; the tool handles the rest automatically.

    Behind the scenes this happens the fastest possible way: if the existing codec fits the target container, only the wrapper is swapped - lossless and in seconds, without recomputing picture or sound. If it doesn't fit (e.g. an H.264 file to WebM), the tool automatically re-encodes using your browser's native WebCodecs encoder - you won't notice anything except the result.

    Honest edge case: re-encoding is only possible when the target is MP4 or WebM. If the codec doesn't fit MOV or MKV and a re-encode would be needed, we say so clearly - try MP4 or WebM instead in that case.

    Everything runs locally in your browser - partly with ffmpeg (self-hosted, no third-party CDN), partly with your browser native video encoders via WebCodecs (mediabunny, MPL-2.0). Your video is not uploaded.

    Other free online video converters upload your file to a server, cap the file size at a few hundred megabytes, or require an account after a handful of daily conversions. None of that applies here: conversion runs unlimited and free, with no account and no watermark, because everything happens in the browser instead of on a foreign server. That works on any device with a modern browser - Windows, Mac, Linux, even a Chromebook or smartphone.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop your video file.
    2. Choose the target format (MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM).
    3. Download the converted video.

    Limitations: Re-encoding (when the codec does not fit the target container) is only possible for MP4 and WebM - for MOV/MKV you get an honest error instead of a silent re-encode. Picture and sound stay unchanged for a lossless remux; a re-encode produces a new, slightly lossy encoding at unchanged resolution (for compression with selectable resolution/quality, use the sibling tool "Compress video"). Subtitle tracks only survive the lossless remux path (there every track is copied, just like every audio track); when a re-encode is needed, that path only ever reads and writes picture and sound, so subtitle tracks are lost. One file per run, ~1 GB limit (4 GB/tab in the browser).

    FAQ

    Is my video uploaded?

    No. The whole conversion happens locally in your browser.

    Does my video lose quality?

    Only if a re-encode is needed (the codec does not fit the target container) - then yes, slightly. If the codec fits, it is a lossless remux.

    Why is a conversion sometimes instant, sometimes slow?

    A lossless remux (codec fits) finishes in seconds. A re-encode (codec does not fit) takes longer because picture and sound are fully recomputed.

    Can I also shrink/compress the video?

    Use the sibling tool "Compress video" for that - resolution and quality are selectable there.

    Why does MP4 to WebM sometimes not work without re-encoding?

    WebM only allows VP8/VP9/AV1 and Opus/Vorbis. An H.264/AAC file does not fit - the tool then automatically re-encodes instead of producing a broken file.

    Does this also work on a phone or tablet?

    Yes. Any current mobile browser with WebCodecs support (such as Chrome on Android) works the same as on desktop - the file stays just as local on the device.

    Do I need an account, and is there a daily limit?

    No. No account, no daily limit, no watermark - conversion is unlimited and free because it never touches a server.

    Is it safe to convert a video online?

    Yes - with gottrix, "online" just means "in your browser," not "on someone else's server." Your video never leaves your device; try airplane mode, the conversion keeps working.
