## About

## What it does
Video Format Converter turns an uploaded video into a new file format and returns a job ID you can use to track progress. Send a video file and choose one of the supported output formats: mp4, mkv, avi, mov, flv, 3gp, or webm.

Use the `persistent` flag when you want the generated file to be kept after processing. The conversion request returns a `job_id`, and you can poll the job status endpoint with that ID until the job is `pending`, `successful`, or `failed`.

When a job completes successfully, the status response includes a download `url` for the processed file along with the `job_id`, `status`, and an optional `message`. That makes it a fit for workflows that need to normalize uploads into a standard format before playback, storage, or downstream processing.

Use Video Format Converter when you need to accept mixed user uploads but store or serve only a specific video format. It gives you a simple async conversion flow without forcing you to manage the job lifecycle yourself.
