Detailed breakdown of every video tool, what it does, and when to use it.
Video Format Converter
Open →Convert videos between MP4, WebM, and MOV with one click. MP4 is the universal format for sharing — works on every device and platform. WebM is the best choice for websites, offering 25–35% smaller files than MP4 at equivalent quality. MOV is the native format for Apple devices and Final Cut Pro workflows. Our converter uses H.264 for MP4 and VP9 for WebM to give you the best quality-to-size ratio.
Common Use Cases
- Upload videos to social media in the right format
- Embed videos on websites as WebM + MP4
- Convert iPhone MOV recordings to MP4 for sharing
Video Compressor
Open →Reduce video file size by 50–90% while maintaining visual quality. Large video files are difficult to email, upload, or share via messaging apps. Our compressor uses CRF-based H.264 encoding — the same algorithm used by Netflix and YouTube — to intelligently discard data your eyes won't miss. You choose the compression level: Low (high quality, moderate size reduction), Medium (excellent balance), or High (maximum compression for sharing).
Common Use Cases
- Compress videos under 16 MB for WhatsApp
- Reduce file size before uploading to email
- Archive large video collections without losing quality
Video Trimmer
Open →Cut your video to exactly the right length by specifying start and end times in seconds. Remove unnecessary intro or outro footage, extract a clip from a longer recording, or trim a video to fit within a platform's time limit. The trimmer works on any video format and preserves the original quality — we use stream copy mode where possible so the video isn't re-encoded.
Common Use Cases
- Cut out unwanted beginning or ending
- Extract a highlight clip from a long video
- Trim videos under TikTok or Instagram Reels time limits
Video Resolution Resizer
Open →Change your video resolution to any standard size: 1080p Full HD, 720p HD, 480p SD, or 360p for minimum file size. Reducing resolution is the most effective way to shrink video file size — dropping from 1080p to 720p typically cuts file size by 40–60%. Our resizer uses Lanczos resampling for the sharpest downscale result and maintains your video's original aspect ratio to prevent distortion.
Common Use Cases
- Downscale 4K footage to 1080p for sharing
- Create 360p versions for low-bandwidth users
- Resize for specific platform requirements
Subtitle Extractor
Open →Extract embedded subtitle tracks from MKV, MP4, and other video files as SRT text files. Many video files — especially MKV downloads — contain multiple embedded subtitle tracks for different languages. This tool pulls those subtitles out as standalone .srt files you can use in any media player, translate, edit, or add to a different video. SRT is the most widely supported subtitle format.
Common Use Cases
- Extract subtitles from MKV films
- Get transcript text from a video recording
- Copy subtitles to use with a different video version
Thumbnail Extractor
Open →Capture any frame from a video as a high-quality JPG or PNG image. Enter the exact timestamp (in seconds) to extract frames from specific moments — the first frame, a specific scene, or any moment in the video. Perfect for creating video thumbnails, capturing screenshots from footage, or extracting frames for use as images in presentations and documents.
Common Use Cases
- Create YouTube thumbnails from video frames
- Screenshot a specific moment from footage
- Extract frames for use in presentations
Audio Extractor
Open →Separate and save the audio track from any video file as MP3, WAV, or AAC. Perfect for extracting music from a recorded live performance, getting the audio from a video interview for podcast use, or archiving the sound from video recordings. MP3 is the most compatible format, WAV gives perfect quality for further editing, and AAC offers the best quality-to-size ratio for Apple devices.
Common Use Cases
- Extract music from a concert recording
- Get podcast audio from a video interview
- Save spoken content from a video lecture
