OGV is an old Ogg container format built around Theora video and Vorbis audio — it was common on early open-source video projects and Linux desktops years ago, but almost nothing plays it natively anymore. This tool decodes your OGV file and re-encodes it into a standard MP4 (H.264 + AAC) that opens everywhere: phones, editors, players, social media.

The whole conversion happens locally on your device. Your file is read into the browser, decoded and re-encoded there, and the resulting MP4 is handed straight back to you — it never gets uploaded anywhere, so there is nothing for us or anyone else to see.

How it works

  1. Upload the OGV video file you want to convert to MP4.
  2. Wait while your browser decodes and re-encodes it locally — nothing is uploaded.
  3. Download your converted MP4, ready to play anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is my video file uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs inside your browser using WebCodecs and a small WebAssembly bridge. The file never leaves your device — that also means it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.

What file size and length can I convert?

Up to 300MB on desktop (100MB on mobile). Because this tool re-encodes the video track, there is also a duration cap: 30 minutes on desktop, 10 minutes on mobile.

Which browsers does this work in?

You need an up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari — this tool relies on the WebCodecs API for the MP4 encode step. The first time you convert anything, the browser downloads a small conversion engine (~10MB) that then stays cached, so later conversions start instantly.
