General
What is MediaToolNest?
A collection of free online tools to convert, compress, trim and extract video and audio files, directly in your web browser.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no account, no trial and no watermark.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The tools work in recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on computers and phones.
Privacy and security
Are my files uploaded?
No. All processing happens on your device, inside your browser. Your files are never sent to MediaToolNest.
What happens to my files after conversion?
They stay on your device. The copies held in the browser are cleared when you close or reload the page.
Do you use cookies?
No. We do not use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies. See our Cookie Policy.
Files and limits
Which formats are supported?
Video: MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, MKV and AVI (depending on the tool). Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG and OPUS. Output also includes GIF.
What is the maximum file size?
Up to 1 GB for most tools and 500 MB for Video Converter and Compress Video. Because processing happens on your device, the real limit also depends on its memory: phones handle smaller files than computers.
Why is video compression slow?
Re-encoding video is demanding, and it runs on your own device. Trimming the video first, or using a computer instead of a phone, makes it much faster.
Troubleshooting
The tool says my video has no audio.
Some videos, such as screen recordings, have no sound track. There is nothing to extract in that case.
My browser ran out of memory.
Try a shorter or smaller file, close other tabs, or use a computer. Trimming a long video before converting it also helps.
The converter does not load.
Check your connection and try again. If you opened the link inside a social media app, open it in Safari or Chrome instead.
The result will not play.
Try converting to MP4 with the Video Converter, which uses the most widely supported format (H.264).
