Your video stays your own
Most online video tools upload your file to a server, process it there, and send a result back with a watermark and a paywall. myownvid takes a different route: the work happens on your device.
How it works
Every modern browser ships an interface called WebCodecs that gives web pages direct access to the hardware video encoders and decoders built into your computer or phone. The same chips that play YouTube and record your camera can compress, trim and convert files.
myownvid is a static website with no backend. When you drop a video, the browser reads it from your disk, decodes the frames, applies your changes, encodes them again and assembles a new file in memory. The download button hands you that file. At no point is anything sent over the network.
The media engine underneath is Mediabunny, an open source library that reads and writes MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, MP3, WAV and more, on top of WebCodecs.
What that means for you
Nothing is uploaded
The file is read straight from your disk and processed by your browser. There is no server, so there is nothing to leak, store or delete.
Faster than any upload
Your device’s hardware encoder does the work. No queue, no upload bar, no waiting for a download afterwards.
No watermark, no account
Every tool is free with no sign-up, no export cap, no resolution limit and no logo stamped on your video.
Presets that match real limits
Discord, WhatsApp, email, Reels: pick the destination and the settings are already right.
Honest limits
Because the result is built in your device’s memory, extremely large files can fail on phones or low-memory laptops. Codec support depends on the browser: Chrome and Edge handle the widest range, including HEVC on most systems, while Safari and Firefox cover the common cases. Legacy formats such as AVI, WMV and FLV cannot be read yet.
The site is free and has no ads at the moment. If that ever changes, the tools will stay free and the processing will stay on your device.
