What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.
M4V is Apple’s MP4 variant from iTunes and iPhone video exports. MP4 (H.264) is the video format that plays on every phone, browser, TV and social network. The video is decoded and re-encoded by ffmpeg running in your browser, so formats your browser cannot play are read too. The result is H.264 MP4, the most widely playable video there is. Nothing is uploaded: the file never leaves your device.

Using the m4v to mp4 converter without installing anything or signing up.
Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.
No. The conversion runs in your browser tab, so nothing is sent to a server and there is no upload wait.
The video is re-encoded, which always costs a little; at the default setting the difference is hard to see. Long or 4K videos take a while in the browser, so trim first if you only need part.
