Does uploading reduce my video quality?

No. We don't transcode or compress anything. The file you uploaded is the file that plays, at its original resolution and bitrate.

Why won't my MP4 play for some people?

It is almost always the codec: the file uses H.265 or an unusual audio track the viewer's browser can't decode. H.264 video with AAC audio is the safe choice, and most editors offer it as an H.264 or web export preset.

Can I share a vertical phone video?

Yes. Portrait clips are letterboxed to fit the screen, so the whole frame and the controls stay visible on desktop and on mobile.

Do viewers need an account or an app?

No. They open the link in Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Edge and press play. Only you sign in, to upload.

How it works

1
Upload the original export
Sign in with Google and upload the MP4 as exported, with no shrinking for email. The bytes go straight to storage: up to 250 MB per file on Free, 500 MB on Pro and 500 MB on Lifetime.
2
A quick safety scan runs
Videos are checked automatically right after upload. Your link starts playing as soon as the scan finishes, usually within a few minutes, and you can copy it straight away.
3
Send the link
Paste it into an email, a chat or a project tool. The viewer presses play, and the seek bar works from the first second.

Seek anywhere without waiting

The file is served in byte ranges, so dragging the seek bar to minute 14 fetches minute 14, not everything before it. Long recordings such as webinars, lectures and product walkthroughs stay watchable on a phone connection.

Original quality, no recompression

Chat apps and social platforms re-encode uploads to save bandwidth, which blurs fine detail and the text in screen recordings. We store and play the exact file you uploaded, so 1080p or 4K footage looks the way you exported it.

Plays inline on iPhone and Android

The player uses the browser's own video controls: play, volume, fullscreen and, where the browser offers them, playback speed and picture-in-picture. On iPhone the video plays inside the page instead of jumping to a separate player, and portrait clips are letterboxed so the controls stay visible.

See how much of it they watched

Analytics record plays and how far into the video each viewer got, so you can tell whether a client watched the whole demo or stopped after thirty seconds.

Good to know about MP4 playback

H.265 (HEVC) doesn't play everywhere: MP4 files encoded with H.265, which some newer phones and cameras use for 4K, need a browser with HEVC support. If a viewer sees a playback error, re-export as H.264, which plays in every major browser.
Size caps per plan: Single files are capped at 250 MB on Free, 500 MB on Pro and 500 MB on Lifetime. For longer footage, export at a lower bitrate or split the video into parts.
View-only is a deterrent: Turning downloads off hides the download button, but anyone can still record what plays on their own screen. Don't rely on it for footage that must never leave your hands.
