Are files uploaded for this tool?

This browser tool processes the selected media locally on this device. The file is not uploaded to ArtPlayer servers for this workflow.

Will the export have a watermark?

No. ArtPlayer browser tools do not add watermarks to exported files.

Why can processing take time?

The work runs in your browser, so speed depends on your device, browser, memory, source size, and the export settings needed for the result.

Which browsers work best?

Recent Chrome, Edge, and other modern Chromium browsers usually work best for heavier browser media processing.

What should I try if a large file fails?

Try a smaller source, close other heavy tabs, reduce resolution or duration first, and keep the tab open until the export finishes.

Can any HLS stream be converted to MP4?

The stream must be a public VOD-style HLS playlist. ArtPlayer retries through its media proxy when direct browser reads are blocked by CORS.

Why does this page need a URL instead of a file?

HLS playlists reference segment files, so the browser needs to fetch the playlist and its related media segments.

Can I convert an m3u8 playlist to MP4?

Yes, for public playlists and segments. ArtPlayer first reads them directly, then retries through its media proxy if CORS blocks the browser.

Can this bypass DRM or private streams?

No. The tool does not bypass protection and only works with accessible streams.

How it works

Three steps to finish the browser workflow.

1
HLS playlist URL
Use a public HTTP or HTTPS M3U8 URL. ArtPlayer retries CORS-blocked sources through its media proxy. DRM- or credential-protected streams are not supported.
2
Convert to MP4
The page reads the HLS playlist and its segments with Mediabunny, decodes the primary tracks, and writes a single MP4 file for local download.
3
Download MP4
Preview the converted file, then download it to this device.
