What PlayStation plays
The PS4 and PS5 Media Player is fussy: H.264 video with AAC audio in MP4 is the combination that works most reliably. AC3 or DTS sound in MKV files and old AVI codecs often fail. This preset uses H.264 High profile, level 4.1, up to 1080p.
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

Frequently asked questions
Where do I put the file on the USB drive?
Put it inside any folder (not the root) on an exFAT or FAT32 drive, then open the Media Player app.
Is the PlayStation Video Converter free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Files up to 1 GB each can be converted, and there is no daily limit.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The converter runs inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your file is processed on your own device and never sent to us or anyone else.
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.
