MP4 to AV1 Processing FAQ

Is the MP4 to AV1 converter free?

Yes. One conversion an hour is free, with no account needed, for a file within the free size limit. A paid plan removes the hourly limit and the size limit, and lets you add several files to one job.

How big an MP4 file can I convert to AV1?

Free conversions have a size limit per file, set by the type of file, and the page tells you when a file is over it. A paid plan removes that limit, so much larger files can be converted.

Can I convert many MP4 files to AV1 at once?

Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.

Does the MP4 to AV1 converter work on phones and tablets?

Yes — the UI is responsive and the conversion pipeline runs server-side, so mobile devices upload-then-download just like desktops. iOS and Android browser file pickers (camera roll, Files app) work end-to-end with no app install.

Which browsers does the MP4 to AV1 converter support?

Chrome, Firefox, Safari 15+, Edge, and Opera. The converter uses standard `<input type="file">` upload — no WebAssembly or PWA dependencies — so even older browsers and locked-down corporate environments work.

Are my MP4 files kept private?

Yes. Uploaded MP4 files are processed on our own conversion servers, no person reviews them, and they are never shared. The upload and the converted AV1 are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.

What if the AV1 download does not start automatically?

Disable any pop-up blocker, then click the download button manually. The result link stays active for 24 hours, so if your network fails mid-download you can re-trigger from the result page without re-uploading the MP4.

How long does MP4 to AV1 conversion take?

Typically seconds for small files, a minute or two for files near the size cap. The server-side pipeline runs on dedicated workers — your laptop CPU is not the bottleneck, so an older device converts as fast as a new one.

Do I need to install software to convert MP4 to AV1?

No — the converter runs entirely in your browser plus our servers. No desktop install, no plugin, no browser extension. Just upload, wait, download.

Can I convert MP4 to AV1 without an account?

Yes. One conversion an hour is free, with no account needed, for a file within the free size limit. A paid plan removes the hourly limit and the size limit, and lets you add several files to one job.
