Link to MP4 Converter

A link is tied to the page it came from; an MP4 file is not. This page is a link to MP4 converter: paste the address of a video, press the button, and the video comes back as an MP4 saved on your device. The fetching and the converting happen on our servers rather than on your phone or laptop. Nothing gets installed. There is no sign-up, and the file carries no watermark.

Most public video links work: YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitch, Dailymotion and more than 1,000 other sites, all through the same extraction layer. A direct link that ends in .mp4 is fetched exactly as it sits on the server; a direct .mov or .webm link is converted on the way. The output is MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, up to 1080p. For a YouTube video uploaded in 4K, the home page's quality picker offers 4K as an AV1 MP4.

It runs in the browser on a phone as well as on a desktop, and the steps are identical on both. Got more than one link? The bulk tab on the home page takes up to 20 at a time and returns them as a single ZIP. Free use allows up to 60 conversions an hour, and files are removed from our servers two hours after they are made (six for results over 2 GB, a day with a Pro pass).

Only want the sound? Link to MP3. Everything here starts from the link to file converter.

What you get

• H.264 video, AAC audio

  Inside the MP4, video is H.264 and audio is AAC. Nothing exotic, so the file opens where you expect it to.

• Up to 1080p

  This page fetches up to 1080p. For a YouTube video uploaded in 4K, the quality picker on the home page offers 4K, as an AV1 MP4.

• Shorts, reels and timestamps

  A YouTube watch link, a youtu.be link, a Shorts link or a link with a timestamp all convert to MP4. Reels from Instagram and Facebook do too.

• Free, no account needed

  There is no account to create and no watermark on the output. What you download is the video as it was published, with nothing added.

Any link to MP4, with three exceptions

Any link to MP4 converter has the same three exceptions, and so does this one. Content behind a login, a private post, or anything protected by DRM, such as Netflix, cannot be fetched. A channel page or a profile page is not a video, so paste the link of one video rather than the list. A search results page fails for the same reason. Everything else that is public and points at an actual video works.

Two sources trip people up. A Discord attachment link on cdn.discordapp.com or media.discordapp.net is signed and stops working after roughly a day, so right-click the attachment, choose Copy link, and convert it while it is fresh. A Google Drive video only converts if it is shared as Anyone with the link; paste the drive.google.com/file/d/…/view address, and if the file needs a Google login you get a clear message instead of a silent failure.

How to turn a link into an MP4

1. 1

   Grab the video's address

   Use the share button in the app or copy the address from the browser bar. One video per link; a channel or profile address will not do.

2. 2

   Paste the link

   Drop the link into the box and leave MP4 selected. Nothing else needs setting; 1080p is the default.

3. 3

   Fetch the MP4

   Press convert and wait for the download button. The file lands wherever your browser saves downloads, on a phone or on a desktop.
