How the video tools work

The first video conversion in a tab downloads the ffmpeg engine (about 30MB) from this site; after that, conversions start straight away. Each tool page shows the exact ffmpeg command it runs.

  • To MP4, MOV, MKV or AVI: H.264 video at CRF 23 ("veryfast" preset) with AAC audio
  • To WebM: VP8 video (CRF 10, up to 2 Mbit/s) with Opus audio
  • To MP3: the soundtrack only, encoded with LAME at high-quality VBR (-q:a 2)
  • To GIF: 12 frames per second, 480px wide, looping
  • Compress Video: H.264 at CRF 24, 28 or 32 with 128 kbit/s AAC, optionally down to 1080p, 720p or 480p

Limits worth knowing

  • Files up to 500MB each, as many as you like
  • Encoding runs on one CPU core, so long or 4K videos can take several minutes
  • Re-encoding is lossy; CRF 23 looks very close to the source for most footage

Every conversion runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Check it yourself or browse all tools.
