Flippy reads practically any video format and writes clean MP4: codecs, containers and all the fiddly parts handled for you.

Why flip video to MP4

Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. It was born in wherever your camera, screen recorder or download came from, and its real weak spot is nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks.

MP4 is the world's default video: the file that plays before anyone has to think about it. A container, most often carrying H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio. That makes it the right destination when what you need is playing everywhere: browsers, phones, TVs, editors, slide decks.

Questions people ask

Will converting video to MP4 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 MP4 file be bigger or smaller than my video?

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

Where will the MP4 file play?

Every browser, phone, TV and editing app worth mentioning. That's the usual reason people leave video behind: MP4 simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does video to MP4 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.
