TS is preselected

The output format is already set to TS, so you can convert immediately. If you need to, adjust the codec, resolution, frame rate or bitrate in the settings panel first.

Click Convert. The TS file is processed on your own device; nothing is uploaded to a server. When it finishes, click Download to save it (or Download all to get a batch as a ZIP).

Why Convert MP4 to TS?

MPEG Transport Stream is the container used by HLS segments, IPTV, DVB broadcasting and many hardware encoders and decoders. Converting MP4 to TS repackages your H.264 video and AAC audio into a stream those systems ingest directly.

The conversion re-encodes the video to H.264 with the source bitrate by default, which is what TS-based systems expect. Run it in your browser without installing ffmpeg.

  • Private by design: your MP4 file is converted on your own device and never uploaded.
  • TS preselected: the output format is already chosen, so it is a one-click conversion.
  • Batch friendly: convert several MP4 files in one go and download them as a ZIP.
  • No limits, no watermark: free for files of any size, with nothing stamped on the output.

MP4 vs TS

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14): MP4 is the most widely supported video container in the world. It usually carries H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio, plays on every phone, browser, TV and editing app, and is the safest choice for sharing. It is best for sharing, social media, web playback and mobile devices.

TS (MPEG Transport Stream): TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is the broadcast and streaming container used by digital TV, Blu-ray and HLS segments. It is resilient to data loss but awkward to edit or share. It is best for broadcast capture, HLS streams and set-top boxes.

In short: keep MP4 when the priority is sharing, social media, web playback and mobile devices, and switch to TS when the file is headed for broadcast capture, HLS streams and set-top boxes. Need a different target? The full Video Converter supports every format listed below.

MP4 to TS FAQ

01

Is MP4 to TS lossless?

Not bit-for-bit: the video is re-encoded, but with the source bitrate kept the transport stream looks the same as the MP4.

02

Can I use the TS file for HLS?

It is a valid single TS file. For adaptive HLS you would still need to segment it and create a playlist with a packager.

03

Is this MP4 to TS converter free?

Yes. Converting MP4 to TS on MediaConverter.io is completely free, with no watermark, no sign-up and no daily conversion limit.

04

Are my MP4 files uploaded to a server?

No. The converter runs inside your browser using WebAssembly and WebCodecs, so your .mp4 file is read and converted on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, which keeps private recordings private and means there is no waiting in an upload queue.

05

Is there a file size limit for MP4 to TS?

No fixed limit. Because processing happens locally, the practical limit is your computer's memory and patience; multi-gigabyte MP4 files convert fine on a desktop browser. Very large files take longer on phones.

06

Will converting MP4 to TS reduce quality?

The video is re-encoded into TS. Keep the source codec, resolution and bitrate (the defaults) and the result is visually the same as your MP4; lowering the bitrate or resolution is what reduces quality, and you control that trade-off in the settings panel.

07

Which browsers support the MP4 to TS converter?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop all work. Chrome and Edge are fastest because they expose hardware-accelerated WebCodecs decoders.
