Questions
About MOV to MP4
Is MOV to MP4 lossless?
When the video inside is H.264, yes: Wemute copies the streams into MP4 unchanged. HEVC and ProRes have to be re-encoded, which uses a high-quality setting.
Why is video slower than a desktop app?
Browser video encoding runs on the CPU without hardware acceleration. Wemute avoids re-encoding whenever the video stream can simply be moved into the new container, which makes most MOV and MKV to MP4 jobs finish in seconds.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Wemute converts files inside your browser tab with your device's own processor. The file contents and names never reach our servers, and nothing is kept after you close the page.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit because nothing is uploaded, but your browser's memory sets a practical ceiling: files up to about 2 GB work on most computers. The first conversion downloads the converter engine (about 10 MB) once; after that it is cached.
