Frequently Asked Questions

What is an OGV file?▼

OGV (Ogg Video) is the open-source video counterpart to Ogg audio, used in free and open-source projects. It uses the Theora codec and is mostly a web/Xiph ecosystem format.

Why convert OGV to MP4?▼

OGV has poor support on phones and editing apps. Converting to H.264 MP4 makes the video playable anywhere with better compression.

Is OGV still used?▼

Mainly in open-source and web contexts. For broad compatibility, MP4 or WebM are much more widely supported choices.

Does converting OGV lose quality?▼

A small amount when re-encoding, usually inaudible in visual terms at high bitrates. Modern codecs also reduce the file size.

Are my videos uploaded during conversion?▼

No — conversion runs locally in your browser.
