Why MP4?
MP4 is the most widely supported video format. It plays on iPhone and Android, Windows and Mac, smart TVs, game consoles and every video editor, so you never need to convert it again. ClipNest gives you the MP4 straight away instead of a format your device can't open.
Picking a resolution
1080p is the best size on the website and suits laptops and TVs. 720p is smaller and still sharp on phones. Smaller sizes are handy when storage or data is tight. The list always shows exactly what YouTube offers for that video.
Editing and presentations
Dropping an MP4 into PowerPoint, Keynote, Premiere or CapCut avoids buffering during a talk or edit. If you only need a short part, cut it first with the YouTube video trimmer.
