# Batch Video Converter Convert multiple video files between different formats like MP4, WebM, MKV, AVI, MOV with quality settings and batch processing > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/video-batch-converter - **Category:** Media - **Keywords:** batch, video, converter, mp4, webm, mkv, avi, mov, format, convert, multiple ## Overview Batch Video Converter is a powerful media utility designed to convert up to five video files simultaneously into popular formats including MP4, WebM, MKV, AVI, MOV, and FLV. With customizable quality settings (CRF), compression speeds, and precise video and audio bitrate controls, you can optimize your video files for web delivery, archiving, or editing while preserving original metadata and filenames. ## Inputs - **Video Files (up to 5)** (file): Select up to 5 video files to convert - **Output Format** (select): Select target video format - **Quality (CRF)** (range): Lower = better quality, larger file. 18-28 is recommended (23 is default for H.264) - **Compression Speed** (select) - **Video Bitrate** (select): Select video bitrate - **Audio Bitrate** (select): Select audio bitrate - **Remove Audio** (checkbox): Remove audio track from output videos - **Preserve Metadata** (checkbox): Copy metadata from original files - **Keep Original Names** (checkbox): Use original file names for converted files ## When to use - When you need to convert multiple video files in different formats to a single standardized format like MP4 or WebM for web compatibility. - When you want to compress large video files by adjusting the Constant Rate Factor (CRF) and video bitrate to reduce file size without losing visual quality. - When you need to strip audio tracks from a batch of video clips or prepare silent video loops for website backgrounds. ## How it works - Upload up to five video files in any standard format, ensuring each file is within the 100MB limit. - Select your target output format and configure optional settings such as CRF quality, compression speed preset, and video or audio bitrates. - Choose whether to remove audio, preserve metadata, or keep original filenames, then initiate the batch conversion process to download your optimized videos. ## Use cases - Standardizing raw camera footage from MOV or MKV formats into highly compatible MP4 files for video editing software. - Optimizing website background videos by converting them to WebM format, lowering the bitrate, and removing the audio track. - Compressing high-resolution video clips to lower bitrates and higher CRF values for easier sharing via email or messaging apps. ## Frequently asked questions ### What video formats are supported for output? You can convert your videos to MP4, WebM, MKV, AVI, MOV, and FLV formats. ### How many videos can I convert at the same time? You can upload and batch-process up to 5 video files simultaneously, with a maximum size of 100MB per file. ### What does the Quality (CRF) setting do? CRF stands for Constant Rate Factor. Lower values yield higher quality and larger files, while higher values reduce file size but lower the quality. The default is 23. ### Can I remove audio from my videos during conversion? Yes, you can check the 'Remove Audio' option to strip all audio tracks from the output video files. ### Will my original video filenames and metadata be preserved? Yes, by default, the converter preserves original metadata and keeps the original filenames for the converted output files. ## Related tools - [Video to GIF Optimized](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/video-to-gif-optimized): Convert videos to optimized GIF format with advanced compression settings - [Stream Smart Remux](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/stream-smart-remux): Rewrap media containers with stream copy. - [Video Cutter](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/video-cutter): Cut and trim video clips with precision, supporting multiple formats and quality settings - [Video to APNG](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/video-to-apng): Convert video clips to APNG (Animated PNG) format with transparency support and better quality than GIF - [Video to Image Sequence](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/video-to-image-sequence): Extract video frames as an image sequence with customizable frame rate, quality, and output format - [AVI to MP4 Converter](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/avi-to-mp4): Convert AVI video files to MP4 format - [MKV to MP4 Converter](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/mkv-to-mp4): Convert MKV video files to MP4 format - [MOV to MP4 Converter](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/mov-to-mp4): Convert MOV video files to MP4 format ## Samples - [Video AV1 Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/video-av1-samples): Sample video files encoded in AV1 format - [Video H.264 Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/video-h264-samples): Sample video files encoded in H.264 (AVC) format - [Video H.265 Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/video-h265-samples): Sample video files encoded in H.265 (HEVC) format - [Video VP9 Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/video-vp9-samples): Sample video files encoded in VP9 format ## Related content - [Video Container Conversion with Deliberate Transcode Control](https://elysiatools.com/en/hubs/video-container-conversion-and-transcode-control): Convert footage between MP4, AVI, FLV, MKV, MOV, and WebM containers, keep CRF and bitrate decisions under control during the re-encode, and batch a whole library under one recorded configuration.
