The converter changes the container and encoding parameters of a video clip so it can be played on a target device or in a browser. You choose the output format and resolution, and the result is a file optimized for sending via messenger, posting on social media, or viewing on a TV.
When this is useful
You recorded a video on an action camera, and it was saved in an MKV container that won't open on your smartphone. The converter will repack it into a universal MP4. Another situation: you need to embed a short AVI clip on a webpage, so you convert it to the WebM format, which is natively supported by most modern browsers.
Step-by-step instructions
- Upload the source video file, keeping in mind that its size must not exceed 140 MB and its duration must not exceed 15 minutes.
- In the settings, select the target format, such as MP4 or MOV, and specify the desired resolution from the available options.
- Start the processing and wait for it to finish.
- Then, use the built-in player to preview a fragment and ensure the picture and sound are synchronized.
How to verify the result
If the conversion does not start, check if the clip's duration exceeds the 15-minute limit or if the file size exceeds 140 MB. If artifacts or audio desynchronization appear, try selecting a different resolution or output container. In case of a decoding error, the source file might use a rare codec that is not supported by the tool.
Important limitations
The tool operates within server limits: the maximum video duration is 15 minutes, and the source file size is 140 MB. Choosing a higher resolution than the original will not improve quality but will only increase the final file size. The converter is not intended for bypassing regional protections or copying licensed DVD and Blu-ray discs.
