RecodeFlow

Stop waiting on slow video converters. RecodeFlow changes your video's format (MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI or WebM) in seconds instead of minutes, with zero quality loss and nothing ever leaving your device. Most converters re-encode every frame: slow, and it degrades quality. RecodeFlow copies your existing video and audio streams exactly into a new container, so the result is a perfect, bit-for-bit lossless file, often many times faster than re-encoding. WHY RECODEFLOW β€’ Truly lossless: exact stream copy, no re-encoding, no generation loss β€’ Fast: large files in seconds, batches of multi-gigabyte videos in minutes β€’ 100% private: every conversion runs on your device; your files never touch the cloud β€’ Works offline: no account, no upload, no internet needed FEATURES β€’ Convert between MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI and WebM β€’ Handles H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP8, VP9 and AV1 video, and AAC, MP3, Opus, Vorbis, FLAC and AC3 audio β€’ One-click presets for compatible playback on your phone, tablet, computer or Smart TV β€’ Batch-convert many files at once β€’ Choose exactly which audio tracks and subtitles to keep or reorder β€’ Compatibility checks before every conversion, with clear per-file status β€’ Smart output-folder and disk-space handling β€’ Available in 16 languages Whether you're getting a clip to play on your TV, unifying a library into one format, or prepping footage for editing, RecodeFlow does it without the wait, and without ever compromising your originals. No ads. No account required. Free to download. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited conversions, larger files, and even faster batches with parallel processing: convert several videos at the same time instead of one after another.
