How to convert MPG to MP4
- 01
Open your MPG file
Drop the MPG or MPEG — or a .mod, .tod or .dat file from an old camcorder or VCD.
- 02
Keep MP4 selected
It's already chosen. Pick a part or a smaller size if you like.
- 03
Convert and download
You get an H.264 MP4 with AAC sound.
Why use Cutlia for this
Usually smaller
H.264 needs roughly half MPEG-2's bitrate for the same picture, so the MP4 usually comes out smaller — often around half the size.
Interlacing removed
Interlaced camcorder and TV video is deinterlaced, so it doesn't show combing on computers and phones.
Sound converted
MP2 and Dolby Digital (AC-3) sound becomes AAC, in sync with the picture.
Frequently asked questions
Is MPG the same as MPEG?
Yes — both are MPEG program streams. Cutlia opens .mpg, .mpeg, .m1v, .m2v, .vob, .mod, .tod and .dat files.
Will my MPG lose quality?
It's re-encoded once, to H.264, at a bitrate meant to look like the original.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Cutlia processes your video directly in your browser using WebAssembly and your device's hardware. The file never leaves your computer or phone, so it stays completely private.
Is it really free?
Yes. Cutlia is free to use with no account, no trial and no watermark on your export. The site is paid for by the ads on it, and your files never leave your device.
