How to convert MPEG to MP4
- Add your .MPEG file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .MP4 in a few seconds.
- Download your new .MP4 file.
What to expect
- Converting is a re-encode, not a rename - expect slight quality loss; use a higher quality setting if the source matters.
- .mpeg and .mpg are the same format and convert to MP4 identically.
- DVD-sourced .mpeg files use an MPEG-2 program stream (similar to .VOB) and convert the same way.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting MPEG to MP4 lossless?
No - MPEG-1/2 and H.264 are different codecs, so the video is re-encoded and loses a small amount of quality in exchange for a much smaller file.
Will the MP4 play on my phone?
Yes - H.264 MP4 plays natively on iOS and Android without extra apps, which is the main reason to convert from .mpeg.
Are .mpeg and .mpg the same?
Yes, both extensions use the same MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 codec and convert to MP4 identically.
Why is my MPEG file so large?
MPEG-1/2 compresses less efficiently than H.264; converting to MP4 typically reduces the file size substantially with little visible quality difference.
