Converting MP4 to video is free: drop your MP4 above, hit convert, and download the video. Files delete themselves within an hour.

Sometimes the job is simply "away from MP4": this tool takes your MP4 and hands back video in whichever format the destination will actually accept. Pick MP4 for maximum reach or WEBM for the open web; either way, the video inside your MP4 makes the trip intact.

Why flip MP4 to video

MP4 is the world's default video: the file that plays before anyone has to think about it. It was born in 2001, the MPEG standards group, built on Apple's QuickTime design, and its real weak spot is very little day to day: as a container its quality depends on the codec inside.

Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. Stands in for any video format Flippy can read: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and the rest. That makes it the right destination when what you need is any moving picture: recordings, rips, exports, downloads.

Questions people ask

Will converting MP4 to video lose quality?

Flippy always picks the gentlest path: container swaps and extractions copy your streams untouched, and re-encodes happen once, at quality matched to the source.

Will the video file be bigger or smaller than my MP4?

It depends on the format you pick as the output: lossy formats land a few megabytes per minute, lossless several times that.

How long does MP4 to video conversion take?

It scales with length and resolution: short clips finish in seconds, long HD videos can take a few minutes. Files auto-delete within an hour after.
