How to convert video to MP4

- Click "Convert" and download the MP4 files.
Why convert video to MP4?
MP4 is the most widely supported video format. With H.264 video and AAC audio it plays on every phone, computer, TV, browser and social network.
Maximum compatibility by default
Vidverter creates MP4 files with H.264 video and AAC audio whenever your browser can encode them, the combination that plays on Windows, Android, smart TVs, old phones and every website. If your source is already H.264, the video is copied without re-encoding, so there is no quality loss.
Good to know
- Processing speed depends on your device. A modern laptop usually converts video faster than real time. Changing only the container (for example MOV with H.264 to MP4) is almost instant because the video is copied, not re-encoded.
- Set "Max resolution" to 1080p or 720p to make the file smaller at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free to convert video to MP4?
Yes. You can convert video to MP4 for free, 3 files at a time up to 250 MB each, with no sign-up and no watermark. Pro removes the file limit, handles files up to 2 GB and downloads everything as one ZIP.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Vidverter runs entirely in your browser and uses your device's own video encoders. Files never leave your computer or phone, so it is safe for private recordings, and there is no upload or download wait.
Which browsers work?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android. Chrome and Edge are the fastest because they use hardware video encoders on most computers.
Will I lose quality?
When only the container changes, no: the video is copied as is. When re-encoding is needed, Vidverter uses a high quality setting that is visually identical for normal viewing.
