How to use the iPad Video converter
- Choose the video.
- Choose a quality: "High" looks great on large iPad screens.
- Convert and download.
- Move it to iPad with AirDrop, the Files app or iCloud Drive.
iPad playback
The TV app, Photos and Files on iPad play H.264 MP4 natively. The converter keeps the original resolution up to 1080p, so films look sharp on Retina displays while staying a sensible size for storage.
Good to know
Output is MP4 with H.264 video (yuv420p, the colour format every player supports), AAC stereo at 48 kHz, and the index moved to the start of the file so playback and uploads begin immediately.
Supported files
MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, WMV, FLV, M4V, 3GP, 3G2, MPEG, MPG, TS, MTS, M2TS, VOB, OGV, MXF, ASF, DIVX, F4V, SWF, DV, MOD, TOD, WTV, RM and RMVB video, with H.264, HEVC, VP8, VP9, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, WMV, Theora and other codecs. AV1 videos cannot be read in the browser yet. Files up to 1 GB each.
Frequently asked questions
Can I watch it offline?
Yes. Once the MP4 is in the Files app or Photos, it plays without an internet connection.
Do I have to pay or sign up to use the iPad Video Converter?
No. There is no account, no payment and no watermark. The only limit is 1 GB per file, set by what browsers can handle.
Do you keep a copy of my files?
We never receive them. All processing happens on your device, so there is nothing for us to store or delete.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Open the page in your phone's browser and choose a file. Phones have less memory than computers, so very large files are better converted on a laptop or desktop.
