# Convert M4V to MP4 online (free, no upload)

## Questions & answers

### Isn't M4V basically the same as MP4 already?

Nearly. M4V is Apple's flavor of the MP4 container, used by iTunes and older Apple apps, and the .mp4 result stops platforms and editors from rejecting the file over the extension.

### Can this convert protected iTunes movies or TV shows?

No. M4V files bought or rented from iTunes can carry FairPlay DRM, and DRM-protected video cannot be converted by any legitimate tool. Home-made and unprotected M4V files convert fine.

### Does my M4V get uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs in your browser, your video never leaves your device, and we keep nothing.

### Will the conversion lose quality?

The video is re-encoded to H.264 MP4 with high-quality settings, which keeps the result visually identical to the source for normal footage.

### Need WebM or MKV output instead?

Switch the target format in the [video format converter](/tools/video-format-converter).

## Stop editing one clip at a time.
