## About

## What it does
Video Format Converter lets you convert a video from one container format to another. Send a video file or a video URL, choose an output format, and get back either a downloadable binary file or a time-limited signed download link.

It accepts `video` for multipart uploads or `video_url` for remote files, plus `output_format`. Supported output formats are `mp4`, `mkv`, `avi`, `mov`, `flv`, `3gp`, and `webm`. The API is straightforward whether you want to upload directly and download the result, or hand off a cloud URL and retrieve a signed link.

Use Video Format Converter when you need to normalize user-uploaded media, prepare assets for a player that only accepts a specific container, or move videos between storage systems without building conversion logic yourself.

Responses are minimal and easy to integrate: the link-based endpoints return a `data` field with a signed URI, while the download endpoints return the converted file as binary data.
