Something as simple as converting a video file can be quite an annoying task. Layers of ads, super long upload and download times, and so much more. And with all this, the fear of not knowing what happens to your video after it's uploaded. Like, what exactly will the CIA do with your cat videos?
So, after a solution popped up on the internet, I thought I'd write this to help anyone else facing the same problems.
The procedure is quite straight forward:
Hop onto modfy.video
Click on the button "Try modfy now!"
This takes us to the actual application itself. Or, you can go to app.modfy.video directly.
As evident from the page, there's a whole lot this application can do. As of now, we're only interested in converting; but feel free to try the rest out too.
Remember: Your files are not uploaded anywhere!
Just click anywhere on the box on the left, select the file, and it's ready.
Choose the format you'd like to convert the file to, and the codec (leave it on H.264 if you're unsure).
Hit submit and let the magic happen.
And voila! You've just converted your cat video from a weird string of letters (and maybe numbers) to whatever you'd like!
All that with no ads, not having to upload your files on any servers, and no accounts, AND not having to download any software. Pretty cool if you ask me.
Enjoy this gif I made on the website for making it this far.
