Frequently Asked Questions
How do I change the format of a video file?
Video converters like Kapwing allow you to change a video’s format, whether to another video type or an image format like JPEG. Converting between formats may alter the file’s frame rate and size, depending on the output format. Kapwing supports conversions to MP4, audio files, and image files, offering flexibility and compatibility.

Can I convert a YouTube video to an MP3?
No, YouTube’s terms of service prohibit downloading content without permission — the only exception is when you are the copyright holder or the content is copyright-free. If you meet these criteria, you can convert a YouTube video to MP3. Copy the video URL, paste it into Kapwing’s 'Add Media' section, and once it loads, add it to the timeline. Click 'Export Project' and select 'MP3' to download the audio.
How do you convert a video to slow motion?
Converting a video to slow motion with Kapwing is simple. After uploading your video and adding it to your timeline, click 'Edit' in the right panel. Find the 'Speed' option, then adjust the speed to slow down the video. When you're satisfied, export the video with the new speed settings.
Can you convert a video to audio on an iPhone?

- Upload the video to Kapwing.

What is the best and safest video format to use?
MP4 is one of the most widely used and versatile video formats. It is compatible with social media, YouTube, media players, and video editing software. MP4 files can store video, audio, subtitles, and images, making them ideal for most creator needs. While generally safe, like all files, MP4s can be prone to corruption.
Can MP4s have transparent backgrounds?
Yes, Kapwing lets you remove the background from any video, including MP4 files, to make it transparent. Using our AI-powered 'Remove Background' feature, you can achieve this with just a few clicks — no need for manual tracking.
Is Kapwing's video converter free?
Yes, Kapwing's online video converter is free to use. Jump into the editor and upload any file to get started, with conversions to MP4, MP3, GIF, and more. However, the free version adds a watermark to all exports. To remove the watermark and unlock additional features, you’ll need a paid subscription, which also allows for larger uploads.
