Questions
Good to know.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It is converted in this tab with your browser, so the file never leaves your computer.
What is a HEVC file?
HEVC (H.265) is the newer video format iPhones and Macs use for HDR and high-efficiency video. Older computers, editors and many websites cannot play it.
Why convert to MP4?
MP4 is the most widely accepted video format: phones, editors, YouTube and most websites take it.
Does it lower the quality?
The picture is re-encoded as H.264, so there is a small loss, as with any re-encode. HDR colours are shown in normal range.
Does my browser need to play HEVC?
Yes, to read it. Safari on a Mac plays HEVC, and Chrome and Edge do on most recent Macs and PCs with hardware support. If yours cannot, the page says so.
Is there a size limit?
The file is handled in your browser's memory, so very large files can fail. Close other tabs and try again.
Which browsers work?
Current Chrome, Edge and Safari, which can encode H.264 video, as long as they can also play the original.
