M4V converter
Convert your M4V files to any format.
What is a M4V file?
M4V is Apple's variant of MP4 for iTunes video — same codecs under the hood, but purchased movies and shows are usually locked with FairPlay DRM.
First released in 2005 by Apple, it uses lossy compression and no transparency, which makes it best suited to movies, TV shows and podcasts from the iTunes/Apple TV ecosystem.

Advantages of the M4V format
Same quality as MP4
M4V uses the same H.264/H.265 codecs as MP4, so there's no quality difference for non-DRM files.

M4V: frequently asked questions
Will this work on a movie I bought or rented from iTunes?
No — purchased and rented iTunes videos are protected with Apple's FairPlay DRM, which no converter can legally or technically bypass. This tool only converts non-DRM M4V files, such as home videos, podcasts, or exports from third-party apps.
Is the conversion private?
Video conversion is processed on our servers using ffmpeg — your file is deleted immediately after conversion and never stored.
