How to convert HEVC to H.264

  1. 01

    Open your HEVC video

    Drop the MOV, MP4 or MKV — iPhone videos are usually HEVC.

  2. 02

    Leave “Convert HEVC to H.264” on

    MP4 and the switch are already set.

  3. 03

    Convert and download

    You get an H.264 MP4 at the same size and frame rate.

Why use Cutlia for this

Plays everywhere

H.264 plays on older phones, TVs, Windows PCs without extensions and every editor.

High quality

Re-encoded once at a high bitrate, keeping the resolution and frame rate.

Uses your hardware

Encoding uses your device's video hardware where the browser allows, so it's quick.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't my HEVC video play on Windows?

Windows needs a separate HEVC extension from the Microsoft Store to play it. H.264 plays out of the box.

Will the H.264 file be bigger?

Usually somewhat: HEVC is more efficient, so H.264 needs more bits for the same picture.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Cutlia processes your video directly in your browser using WebAssembly and your device's hardware. The file never leaves your computer or phone, so it stays completely private.

Is it really free?

Yes. Cutlia is free to use with no account, no trial and no watermark on your export. The site is paid for by the ads on it, and your files never leave your device.
