Why MP4

MP4 is the most widely supported video format — it plays on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac, and uploads to almost every social platform without conversion.

Use trimmed videos responsibly

Trim videos you own or have permission to use. Removing a creator's intro or credits and reposting their work as your own is not allowed on most platforms.
