How it works

How to convert a video to MP4 on Windows

Three steps, all on your PC. Nothing is uploaded.

  1. Open Tools › Video › Convert video, or drop videos on the window.

  2. Choose the format, the quality and, if you like, a smaller picture size.

  3. Find the result next to the original. Your video is never changed.

What you get

Built for the real document.

  • Lossless when it can be

    Keep quality copies the picture and sound across when the new format can hold them, so MKV → MP4 takes seconds.

  • Plays everywhere

    MP4 and MOV get H.264 and AAC, WebM gets VP9 and Opus: what phones, browsers and TVs play.

  • Smaller, never bigger

    Pick the tallest the picture may be, from 4K down to 360p. Nothing is enlarged.

  • Offline, engine included

    FFmpeg is installed with the app, so videos convert without a connection.

Your choices

Every choice, before it starts.

Under the hood

How it decides.

What it reads, what it saves, and the rules it follows, taken from the app itself.

Saves as

  • clip.mp4
  • clip (converted).mp4, when the format stays the same

Never over another file, and never over your original.

  • The format picks the codec

    MP4, MKV and MOV get H.264 with AAC sound, WebM gets VP9 with Opus, AVI gets MPEG-4 with MP3, WMV gets Windows Media.

  • Ready to stream

    MP4 and MOV files are written so they can start playing before they have fully downloaded.

  • Long films welcome

    A conversion is only stopped if it makes no progress for five minutes, never just for taking long.

App or website?

Why not an online converter?

Online tools ask for your file first. Podalls Convert never does.

Good to know

Honest limits.

What this tool does not do, said plainly.

  • Formats that cannot hold the original picture are re-encoded, which takes longer on long films.
  • AVI and WMV use older codecs, for software that only reads those.
  • Converting to the same format saves a copy named clip (converted).mp4.

Questions

Convert video, answered.

5 answers

Another question? Everything about Podalls Convert.

Does it upload my video?

No. Videos are converted on your PC by FFmpeg, which is installed with the app. Nothing is uploaded.

Why was it so fast?

When the new format can hold the video’s own picture and sound, Keep quality copies them across instead of encoding them again.

How do I convert MKV to MP4?

Pick MP4 and Keep quality. When the picture and sound already suit MP4, as they usually do, they are copied across untouched: fast and lossless.

Which video format should I choose?

MP4 for phones, TVs and sharing; WebM for websites; MKV to keep every track; MOV for Apple editing apps; AVI or WMV only for old players.
