You don't need the internet. Disconnect and watch the tool work.
Simplest way to confirm your videos never leave this device:
Disconnect from the internet.
Note: a small one-time load happens on first use. After that, you can work fully offline.

Accepts Matroska (.mkv) — OBS, Handbrake, ripped DVD/Blu-ray sources welcome
Conversion runs on your computer — not on someone else's server. Zero uploads.
If your MKV file already contains H.264 video, we just rewrap it into an MP4 container — no re-encoding, no quality loss, near-instant.
Matroska handles any codec — H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1. We auto-detect and either remux (lossless) or transcode to H.264, whichever applies.
CloudConvert caps free users at 10 conversions/day. Zamzar limits at 50 MB. VEED watermarks. We don't do any of that.
Drop a 4 GB drone clip if you want. The only limit is your device's available memory — there's no upload step to choke on.
The engine downloads once, then runs forever. Turn off Wi-Fi to verify — conversion keeps working.

MKV (Matroska) is a flexible container format popular with OBS, Handbrake, and ripping tools — but Apple QuickTime, the iPhone Photos app, and many mobile players don't support it natively. The fix is to remux into MP4, which is universally supported. If the video stream inside is already H.264, no re-encoding is needed.
If your source already contains H.264 (older iPhones, most QuickTime recordings), conversion is a fast remux — usually under a second. For HEVC sources requiring transcode, expect 10–60 seconds per minute of footage depending on resolution and CPU.
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Disconnect from Wi-Fi after the page loads to verify — the converter keeps working.
Neither. Plain .mp4 output. No backend means no caps — the only limit is your device's available memory.
If the source is H.264, we remux (copy the video stream into MP4 without re-encoding) — 100% lossless. For HEVC and other codecs, we transcode at CRF 18 by default, which is visually lossless for nearly all viewers.
That's how you know nothing leaves your computer.
CloudConvert, Zamzar, FreeConvert, VEED — they all send your video to a server. We don't. Conversion runs on your CPU, in your browser, via the same ffmpeg engine VLC and YouTube use.
iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, or any modern browser — same tool, same code, same privacy.
