What you get:
- HD quality up to 1080p, with 720p and 480p options
- Most conversions finish in under 60 seconds
- HTTPS-encrypted processing in the browser
- Files deleted from the server right after you download
- Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile, no app needed
How to Convert a Link to MP4

The converter works with YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and 1000+ other sites. Original quality is kept intact. If you only need the audio, use extract audio from videos for MP3, WAV, or AAC output. For YouTube-specific MP3 downloads, see the YouTube to MP3 converter.

ScreenApp costs more per month than CloudConvert, FreeConvert, Online-Convert, and Convertio, but it supports over 1000 video sites directly (the others handle fewer) and deletes files immediately instead of holding them for 24 hours. The Business plan at $34/month annual removes file size caps and daily limits entirely.

FAQ
Is this MP4 converter safe?
Yes. Every conversion runs over HTTPS, files are deleted from the server right after download, and there’s no software to install. No account or personal information is required, and your URLs aren’t shared with third parties.
How do I use it?
Paste a video URL, choose 1080p, 720p, or 480p, and click convert. The MP4 downloads automatically once processing finishes.
How do I convert a URL to MP4?
Copy the video URL, paste it into the converter, pick 1080p, 720p, or 480p, then click convert. URL and link mean the same thing here, so any public video address works. Output is a standard MP4 file ready to play, edit, or share.
Is this a link to video converter or a link to MP4 converter?
Both. The tool takes any supported video link and returns an MP4 file, which is the most compatible video format. If you need WebM, MOV, or another container, convert the MP4 in a desktop editor after download.
How do I download MP4 from a link?
Paste the link, pick the quality, and click convert. The MP4 downloads to your device once processing finishes. Three steps, no signup, no install.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs entirely in your browser on desktop, tablet, or phone.
Which sites does it support?
YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Vimeo, and 1000+ others. Paste any public video link to start.
What format do I get?
MP4, which plays on virtually every device, player, and editor without conversion.
Are there daily limits?
The free trial gives you 3 videos. Paid plans lift that cap. Unlike CloudConvert (25/day) or FreeConvert (20/day), there’s no hard daily ceiling on paid tiers.
Do you store the converted files?
No. Files are deleted from the server immediately after you download them, and links are never logged or shared.
