Browser-Based FFmpeg Converter

M3U8 to MP4 Converter Online

Convert browser-accessible M3U8 and HLS playlists to MP4, MKV, WEBM, or AVI with FFmpeg running locally in your browser.

Privacy Notice: Conversion happens locally in your browser. No media files are uploaded to our servers. Performance depends on your device CPU and memory budget.

Multiple Formats

Export to MP4, WEBM, MKV, or AVI depending on the workflow you need next.

No Installation

Powered by ffmpeg.wasm so conversion runs directly inside your browser session.

Full Quality Control

Tune format and quality presets without sending source media to a remote server.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste URL

    Enter an M3U8 playlist URL or start from a public sample stream.

  2. 2

    Download Source

    The tool fetches and merges playlist segments into a local input file first.

  3. 3

    Pick Settings

    Choose output format, quality preset, and whether to use fast remux mode.

  4. 4

    Convert and Save

    FFmpeg runs locally in your browser and automatically downloads the output file.

Who this is for

  • Developers and operators converting accessible HLS into MP4
  • Creators preparing assets for handoff or local preview
  • Anyone who wants conversion without installing desktop software

Limitations

  • Conversion runs in the browser, so large playlists can be slow or memory-heavy.
  • CORS-blocked, expired signed, or private sources cannot be converted.
  • DRM-protected or key-restricted encrypted streams are not supported.
  • Output quality depends on the source segments and the preset you choose.

FAQ

Why is conversion slow?
Browser-side FFmpeg depends on your CPU, input duration, and output format. Re-encoding is naturally slower than a fast remux.
How large can files be?
Browsers have memory limits. Very large playlists can still fail, especially when you use standard re-encode mode instead of fast remux.
Do you support encrypted streams?
DRM-protected streams are not supported. Browser access to keys and media still depends on the source and CORS policy.
Where is the output saved?
The converted output is automatically downloaded through your browser when the FFmpeg job completes.
