How do I get MP4 output instead of WebM?

Turn on the H.264 toggle in the editor — it forces the MP4 container (libx264), compatible with any player.

Do I need a converter app?

No. The conversion happens in the browser; nothing is installed on your computer.

What's the best MP4 resolution?

1080p usually balances quality and size. Resolutions above 720p are Pro-plan.

Can I convert audio only?

Yes. Instead of MP4, pick MP3 to extract only the audio of the segment.

MP4 (H.264) or WebM (VP9)

By default we export in the source's modern codec (VP9/WebM). Turning on H.264 forces the MP4 container — ideal when you need universal compatibility.

Quality from 144p to 8K

Pick the resolution based on the source and your plan: up to 480p on free (720p with +2 ads), up to 8K on Pro.
