Converting to MP4
Pages for converting to MP4 start from WEBM, MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, F4V and 3GP.
Privacy: how it works
- Your MP4 files stay on your device. The page reads each file with the browser's file API, converts it with code running in the tab, and hands the result back as a download. No upload happens, so there is no copy of your file on our servers to protect, delete or leak.
- There is nothing to sign up for and no login. The converter does not ask for an email address, and it does not need to know who you are to do its job.
- Some conversions use a WebAssembly engine that your browser downloads once, the first time you need it. Only the engine is fetched, never your file, and the page shows the approximate size before it starts. Your browser caches it, so later conversions skip the download.
- You can check the claim yourself: open your browser developer tools, watch the Network tab while a file converts, and you will see no request that carries your file.
Tips
- Try a short clip first to check quality and size before you convert a long video.
- Keep the original resolution unless you need a smaller file; shrinking the frame is the quickest way to cut size.
- Close other heavy tabs while converting, because the work uses your own memory and processor.
- Convert one large file at a time on a phone or a low-memory computer.
- MP4 is lossy, so convert from the original when you can instead of from a copy.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no price, no trial, no credit card and no watermark added to your results. Ulkaa Tool does the conversion with your own device, so there is no server bill to pass on to you.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Your MP4 files are read and converted inside your browser and are never sent to Ulkaa or to anyone else. The result is created on your device and you save it from there. Some conversions load a small conversion engine the first time you use them. That download is the only network traffic, it contains no file of yours, and your browser keeps it for next time.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Open the page, add your files and convert. An Ulkaa account is not needed for anything on this tool.
Is there a file size limit?
No limit is set by us. The real limit is your device: the conversion uses your own memory and processor, so very large files can be slow or fail on a weak phone or an older computer. Close other heavy tabs and convert MP4 files one at a time if a big batch struggles.
What can I convert MP4 files to?
You can convert MP4 to WEBM, MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, OGV, MPEG, TS, GIF, WEBP, MP3, WAV, OGG, Opus, AAC, M4A, M4R, FLAC, ALAC, WEBA, AIFF, AC3 and AMR. Pick one on the converter and it applies to every file you add.
Can I convert other files to MP4?
Yes. WEBM, MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, F4V, 3GP, OGV and MPEG can be converted to MP4.
Can I convert many MP4 files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as your device can handle. Each one is converted on its own and you can download them one by one or as a single ZIP.
Is MP4 lossy?
Yes. MP4 saves space by discarding some detail, so converting from MP4 cannot restore what was lost and converting to it loses a little.
