What is a video to URL converter?
A video to URL converter hosts a video from your device and gives you a direct link to the file. Share that URL in a message or document, or use it as the source of an HTML video element. Your video stays in its original format; the output is a web address, not a newly encoded file.

Built for simple sharing
Why use this video to URL converter?
Upload once and use the same video link in messages, documents, or your own website.
Keep the original file quality
We store the file you upload without re-encoding, compression, or an added watermark. Its size and playback requirements stay the same.
Use the file in your own player
Copy the HTML video element or use the direct URL as a video source on a page that supports it. No separate watch page is required.
Share without an account
Upload as a guest and share the link without asking recipients to sign in. Anyone with the URL can access the file, so only share videos intended for public access.
Ways to share
Where to use your video URL
Share a public clip alongside the message, instructions, or page it belongs with.
One video.
A link you can share.
A link you can share.
Send a product demo to a client
Share a short product demo in an email or message. Add the direct URL alongside the details your client needs to review.
Show a bug in an issue report
Record the steps that reproduce a bug, then copy the Markdown link into your issue. Remove personal data, tokens, and private screens before uploading.
Embed a clip on your website
Paste the HTML video element into a page that accepts custom HTML, or use the direct URL in a video-file field. Fields limited to YouTube or Vimeo links will not accept it.
Share a short lesson or walkthrough
Place a video link beside written instructions in a document or course note. Test playback on the devices your audience uses.

Direct video URL vs. a viewing page
A direct video URL points to the file itself. A viewing-page link opens a web page containing a player. This converter returns the file URL, ready to copy or use in your own player.
Use the direct URL in messages, documents, or a compatible video field. For a web page that accepts HTML, copy the video element from the result panel. Whether a messaging app shows an inline preview depends on that app.
- A direct file URL is not a YouTube or Vimeo watch-page link.
- Sharing a URL does not reduce the file size or the data needed to watch it.
Supported video formats and upload limits
Upload one MP4, MOV, or WebM at a time, up to 50 MB per file. The guest allowance is 5 uploads per day and 100 MB of stored videos. These are file-size and storage limits, not a fixed number of minutes.
For a larger clip, trim it or export a smaller version in your video editor before uploading. Renaming an AVI or MKV file to .mp4 does not convert it; export it in a supported format instead.
- MP4: upload an existing .mp4 file and receive a link to that file.
- MOV: accepted for upload; playback still depends on the codec inside.
- WebM: accepted for upload; check playback in your target browser.
Copy a direct URL, Markdown link, or HTML embed
Choose Direct URL for an email, message, or compatible video URL field. Choose Markdown for a clickable text link in an issue or document. Choose HTML to display a video player on a page that allows custom markup.
The examples below use a placeholder address. After uploading, choose a format in the result panel and copy it with your own video URL. A Markdown link does not automatically embed a player.
- Direct URL: https://example.com/video/clip.mp4
- Markdown: [Watch video](https://example.com/video/clip.mp4)
- HTML: <video src="https://example.com/video/clip.mp4" controls></video>
Uploaded successfully, but the video will not play?
MP4, MOV, and WebM are containers: the codecs inside determine whether a device can play the file. This video to URL converter stores your original file and does not transcode it, so uploading cannot fix an unsupported codec.
First open the direct URL in a new tab. If the file opens but does not play, try a compatible player or re-export it with codecs supported by your audience. If the direct URL works but your website does not, check whether its video field accepts direct files or only links from specific platforms.
Public video hosting, not confidential file transfer
Anyone with your video URL can open, forward, or save it. Upload only footage you own or have permission to share. For passwords, recipient-only access, or confidential material, use a service that provides those controls.
A few more answers
Video to URL converter FAQ
Phone uploads, sharing, deletion, and what to check when a link does not work.
Is the video to URL converter free?
No account or payment is needed for a guest upload. You can upload up to 5 videos per day, with a 50 MB limit per file and 100 MB of total guest storage. People on the same network may also share an abuse-prevention limit.
How do I convert an MP4 to a URL?
Select your MP4, check the preview, and choose Create video link. When the upload finishes, select Direct URL and Copy. You receive a link to the MP4 itself; the tool does not change it into another video format.
Can I make a video link from my phone?
Use Choose video to select a saved file through your mobile browser. The same MP4, MOV, WebM, and 50 MB limits apply. Keep the browser tab open during the upload; whether your phone shows a photo library or a file picker depends on the device.
Can I paste a YouTube, TikTok, or existing video URL?
No. This tool uploads a file from your device. It does not download videos from social platforms, shorten existing links, or import a video from another URL.
Is this a private video link?
No. Videos uploaded here are public: anyone who receives the URL can open, forward, or save the file. There are no password or recipient restrictions. Do not upload confidential footage or anything you lack permission to share.
Can I delete an uploaded video?
Yes. Use the trash button next to the uploaded file while its result remains in this tab, then confirm deletion. Starting over or closing the tab does not delete the stored video and loses this delete control. Cached or downloaded copies may remain after the origin file is removed.
Do links expire, or are they permanent?
Videos are kept for seven days, then scheduled for automatic deletion. Cleanup can take longer, so a link may remain accessible briefly. Keep your original file; this is not permanent storage.
Will my video play inside an email or chat?
A direct URL can be pasted as a link, but an inline player or preview depends on the destination app. HTML video markup is for compatible web pages, not a guarantee of playback inside email or messaging apps.
Can someone download my video?
Yes. A public direct link gives access to the file; this tool does not prevent downloading. A browser may play it or offer to save it depending on its support and settings.
Why was my upload rejected?
Check that the file is non-empty, is an actual MP4, MOV, or WebM, and is no larger than 50 MB. Guest limits are 5 uploads per day and 100 MB stored; people on the same network may share the daily abuse-prevention limit. A storage-service error is different from a file rejection: wait and retry rather than changing the extension.
Why can someone else not open my preview link?
A selected-file preview is local to your browser. Share only the URL returned after Create video link finishes, not a blob address or local file path. A result explicitly marked Local development link is also not a public internet link.

Choose an MP4, MOV, or WebM up to 50 MB. Preview it, create the link, and copy the format you need.
