Frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded?
No. FFmpeg runs as WebAssembly inside your browser tab. Nothing leaves your device.
Why does the tool take a moment to start?
The FFmpeg engine (~30 MB) downloads once on first use and is then cached on your device for instant starts later.
How long does it take?
Browser encoding is slower than native: expect roughly real-time for 720p on a laptop. Long 4K files are better trimmed first.
