100% private — files never leave your device

The video stream is stream-copied, not re-encoded — quality and speed are exactly the source's, and processing takes seconds even for large files. Only the audio track is dropped.

Perfect for background loops, presentation clips, footage you plan to re-narrate, or videos whose background music trips content-ID claims.

About the MP4 format

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the universal delivery container of digital video. It wraps H.264, HEVC or AV1 video with AAC audio, and its structure — separate metadata (moov) and media atoms — is what makes streaming, seeking and fast-start playback possible. Phones, cameras, TVs, browsers and every social platform assume MP4 first.

Quality is entirely a function of the codec and bitrate chosen at encode time, so an MP4 can be a 10 Mbps HEVC master or a postage stamp. That flexibility plus total playback coverage is why nothing has displaced it in twenty years — conversion between formats almost always ends in MP4.

+Strengths

  • ✓Plays on every device and platform in existence
  • ✓Streaming-ready structure (fast start, seeking)
  • ✓Choice of modern codecs: H.264, HEVC, AV1

!Limitations

  • −Quality depends entirely on encode settings
  • −HEVC variants hit licensing gaps on some platforms

Frequently asked questions

Will the video quality change?

No. The video stream is copied byte-for-byte; only the audio track is removed.

Which formats work?

Any container the browser ffmpeg demuxes — MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, TS and friends. The output keeps your input container.

What about videos with no audio?

They pass through unchanged — muting a silent video is a safe no-op.
