How to Convert 4K Video

Learn how to convert 4K files without unexpectedly running out of storage or compute.

What matters

Keep enough free storage for source and output at the same time.

Use an appropriate codec and quality target rather than automatically selecting the highest quality.

Step-by-step

  1. Step 1Hardware encoding can help throughput when supported.
  2. Step 2Conversion time varies with resolution, frame rate, source codec, encoder and storage performance.

Keep the workflow local

FastConvert is positioned as a local Windows media converter. The conversion itself is performed through FFmpeg on the machine rather than sending the media to a browser upload service.
