How it works

How to convert a video on Mac or Windows

  1. Drop one clip or hundreds

    MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and M4V all work, mixed in one batch.

  2. Choose the format and codec

    MP4 with H.264 plays almost anywhere. Hangar only offers pairs that work together, like VP9 or AV1 for WebM.

  3. Pick a quality and convert

    Smallest, Balanced or Best. Keep the original sound with Copy, or switch it to AAC, Opus or MP3.

New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step

Choose where it plays

Pick where it has to play. Hangar sets the rest.

The format decides where a file opens, the codec decides its size and look. Smallest, Balanced and Best then tune the settings for whichever codec you chose.

  • MP4 with H.264

    Start here

    Plays on nearly every phone, browser and TV.

    Best for sharing, uploads and sending to clients.

  • WebM with VP9 or AV1

    Small files made for the web.

    Best for clips on websites and web apps.

  • MOV with ProRes

    A high-quality master, built for editing.

    Best for handing footage to an editor, not for sharing.

The alternative

Why not use an online converter?

CloudConvert and Convertio handle hundreds of formats, and for a rare one they earn their keep. For everyday video, the upload is the slow part.

Questions

Before you download

More answers in the help center.

Is it really free?

Every tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.

Can I convert a video to MP3?

Use Extract audio for that. It pulls the sound out of a video as MP3, AAC or WAV, or copies the original track out untouched.

Does converting lower the quality?

Every conversion re-encodes the picture. Best keeps the most detail, Smallest saves the most space, and Balanced sits between them. Copy keeps the original sound exactly.

Which codecs can it use?

H.264, HEVC, VP9, AV1, and ProRes for video, with AAC, Opus, or MP3 for audio. H.264 and HEVC need supported graphics hardware; VP9, AV1, and ProRes always work.

Can I keep the original audio?

Yes. Choose copy for the audio and the existing track is carried over without re-encoding, as long as it fits the chosen container.

Why are some combinations not available?

Each container only carries certain codecs, so Hangar offers the valid pairs. WebM takes VP9 or AV1, MOV takes H.264, HEVC, or ProRes, and MP4 and MKV are the most flexible.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.

Does one license cover Mac and Windows?

Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
