Source format

What is MP4?

MPEG-4 Part 14 (.mp4). MP4 is the most widely supported video format: it plays on practically every phone, TV, browser and editing program. It is a container, and the video inside is usually H.264 or H.265, with AAC sound. Both codecs are lossy, which is why MP4 files stay small.

Common use: Sharing videos online, social media, streaming, and general playback

Output format

What is MXF?

Material Exchange Format (.mxf). MXF is the SMPTE-standard container of broadcast and professional cameras, such as Sony XDCAM and Canon cinema cameras. It carries professional codecs and timecode metadata; consumer players rarely open it, so MXF is converted for review copies.

Common use: Broadcast and professional camera footage

Questions about MP4 to MXF

Is converting MP4 to MXF free?
Yes, one file at a time: the converter on this page runs in your browser, files up to 200 MB, no sign-up. The Filoshi desktop app ($29 once, for Windows) converts many files at once and has no size limit.
Does converting MP4 to MXF lose quality?
Yes, a little. MXF is a lossy format, so some detail is thrown away when the file is saved. Filoshi re-encodes the video at a high-quality setting, so the difference is usually hard to see. MP4 is lossy too, so this is a second round of compression; convert from the original, not from earlier conversions.
Is my MP4 file uploaded anywhere?
No. The converter on this page runs in your browser with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly; your MP4 file is read and converted on your device and never sent to a server. The desktop app works the same way, offline.
Has MP4 to MXF been tested?
Yes. MP4 to MXF is one of the 1,841 conversions that passed Filoshi's automated test matrix on Windows 11.
Can I convert many MP4 files at once?
Yes, in the desktop app. Drop as many MP4 files as you like on the window, pick MXF once for all of them, and each file shows its own progress. The new files appear next to the originals, which are never changed.
