How do I convert OGV to MP4?

Add your OGV file to the upload area above, then press Convert. The MP4 file downloads straight to your device. You do not need an account, and there is no watermark.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work.

Does converting to MP4 reduce quality?

MP4 uses lossy compression, so some data is discarded. At the default quality the difference is very hard to see or hear; raise the quality setting if you need to be certain, at the cost of a larger file.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 512 MB per file for this conversion. Because the work happens in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory — larger files work on a desktop with plenty of RAM and may fail on an older phone.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and press Convert All. Each file is processed independently, so one failure does not stop the rest, and you can download everything together as a ZIP.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. FileTools360 works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android, including choosing files straight from your camera roll. Very large videos may run out of memory on a phone — those are better converted on a laptop.

OGV and MP4 explained

OGV is the Ogg container carrying Theora video, an early royalty-free codec that has been comprehensively superseded by VP9 and AV1.

MP4 is a container, not a codec. It usually holds H.264 video and AAC audio, and that specific combination is the closest thing the internet has to a universal video format.

Where OGV files come from: Open-source projects and Wikipedia media from the early 2010s.
Where MP4 is used: Phone cameras, screen recorders, and every video streaming platform.

OGV vs MP4

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

OGV compared with MP4
Property	Source	Target
Compression	Container (depends on codec)	Container (depends on codec)
Animation	Yes	Yes
Introduced	2008	2001
Browser support	Firefox and Chrome. Largely superseded by WebM.	Plays on effectively every device.

OGV is stronger at: Royalty-free. Open specification.
MP4 is stronger at: Plays on effectively every device and browser without extra software. Supported by every editor, platform and social network. Efficient compression with H.264 or H.265.

Why convert OGV to MP4?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of OGV: new work — WebM does the same job far better. MP4 is the better fit when you want the video to simply play, anywhere, for anyone.

OGV limitations that prompt the switch: Theora compresses poorly compared with anything modern. Very limited support. No reason to choose it today.
What you give up: H.264 carries patent licensing obligations for commercial distribution at scale. Less flexible than MKV for multiple audio tracks and subtitles.

Does converting OGV to MP4 reduce quality?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.

“MP4” tells you nothing about quality. An MP4 can hold anything from a pristine 4K master to a heavily compressed clip.
