Publishing or sharing as MP4
The one format virtually every phone, editor, platform, and TV accepts without question, which is exactly why people convert VOB to MP4 before sharing, uploading, or editing.
Editing and production workflows
Video editors and producers convert VOB to MP4 to match the container their NLE, platform, or client actually expects.

A VOB file that won't open on a phone, TV, or web uploader often just needs its container swapped to MP4 — no other editing required.
Frequently asked questions
Is the VOB to MP4 converter free?
+
Yes, completely free with no limits. Convert as many files as you want. No subscription, no account, no watermark.
Does this tool upload my video to a server?
+
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your VOB video never leaves your device.
Why convert VOB to MP4?
+
VOB is the MPEG-2 Program Stream container used on DVD-Video discs, often split across multiple numbered files with several audio and subtitle tracks muxed in, typically from ripped DVD-Video discs and DVD authoring software exports. The one format virtually every phone, editor, platform, and TV accepts without question.
Will the video quality change?
+
This conversion always re-encodes the video and audio into the target codec, so it isn't literally lossless — but it uses a quality setting tuned to be visually indistinguishable from the source at typical viewing sizes, at the cost of a longer conversion than a same-length stream-copy pair.
Is there a file size limit?
+
Files up to 2GB are supported. Very large files take longer to process since everything runs on your device's CPU rather than a server.
Can I use the converted MP4 file commercially?
+
PixelTools does not claim any rights over files you process. The output is yours to use however you like, subject to any rights the original file's owner holds.
I ripped a DVD and got a bunch of .VOB files — why won't they play or upload anywhere?
+
VOB is the raw MPEG-2 Program Stream format DVD-Video discs store their video in, often split across several numbered files (VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on) with multiple audio and subtitle tracks muxed together. Almost nothing outside a DVD player or ripping tool can open a .VOB file directly. This conversion always fully re-encodes the MPEG-2 video to H.264/AAC inside an MP4 wrapper, since VOB's video codec isn't stream-copy compatible with MP4.
