- 2Choose output, resolution, and codec
Set MP4 or GIF. Original resolution keeps the frame size. H.264 is the compatible codec for MP4. A GIF uses 8, 12, or 15 fps.

Browser encoding vs cloud encoding
FreeConvert and CloudConvert upload the file, then encode it on a server. ClipCodec runs the same kind of change here: a new container and a new codec, with no account.
MP4 with H.264 is the file most devices play. MKV and MOV often hold that same picture in a container those devices refuse. A GIF is a different thing: 256 colors, no audio, a clip up to 15 seconds.
The video format converter lists every pair, including the ones that do not have their own URL yet.
FAQ
Is this video converter free?
Yes. Encoding runs on your device, so there is no account and no usage meter.
Do you upload my video?
No. Unlike FreeConvert or CloudConvert, the file is read only in this tab.
Is there a watermark?
No. The output is the picture you converted, with nothing stamped on it.
Is there a file size limit?
No. A file is not refused for being large. Over 500 MB the page asks you to lower the resolution so the browser can finish.
Which formats can I convert?
MKV to MP4, MOV to MP4, any video to GIF, and MP4 to GIF each have a page. The format matrix names the other pairs.
What happens if my video is over 500 MB?
You can still convert it here. Choose 720p or 480p first. It is not sent to a server either way.
Does converting lose quality?
H.264 and GIF both recompress. Original resolution keeps the frame size. It is not a lossless remux.
How is this different from CloudConvert or FreeConvert?
Those sites upload the file and convert it in the cloud. ClipCodec uses the same kind of format change, in the browser, with no watermark.
