Pick the format, then drop the file
This is the hub version of every Clipy converter. Choose a target format from the toggle above the dropzone and the encoder behind it swaps to the right preset — there is nothing to configure. Each output uses settings tuned for that format: H.264 with faststart for MP4, VP8/Vorbis for WebM, a two-pass palette for GIF, and VBR LAME for MP3. The whole job runs in your browser via FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so nothing is uploaded and there is no queue to wait in.
When to pick each format
Reach for MP4 when you want something that plays everywhere — phones, TVs, every browser, every editor — and you are not sure where it is going. Pick WebM for the open web: it is smaller than MP4 at the same quality and is ideal for a background loop or a self-hosted player where you control the codec. GIF is for short, silent, auto-looping clips dropped into Slack, a README, or a Linear issue — keep it under about 10 seconds or the file balloons. MP3 is the one you want when the picture does not matter: a recorded interview headed to a podcast feed, or audio you will run through a transcript service.
Need a single-format tool instead?
If you already know exactly what you are converting, the dedicated pages have format-specific controls and copy. Use WebM to MP4 or MP4 to WebM to swap between the two web video codecs, video to GIF when you want frame-rate and width sliders, and video to audio to pull a clean MP3 out of any recording. This hub is the fastest path when you just want a quick one-off in any of those directions.
Where the files come from
A converter is only useful if you have something to convert. If you are recording the source yourself — a product demo, a bug repro, a quick walkthrough — Clipy captures your screen and webcam with no watermark and no signup wall, then hands you a clean MP4 you can run straight through this page. Record once, then export to whichever format the destination wants.
