Video to URL

Upload a video to get a direct file URL for a website, a browser player or an embed. Copy the address and reuse it without sending the file again.

Uploading publishes this file at a public URL. Anyone with the URL can access it.

Choose a file

Maximum file size: 100 MB. Supported formats: MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, MPEG, MPG, OGV, 3GP, FLV. Your account storage and upload limits also apply.

Give your video a direct address that can be used in a website or player. Upload a supported file, then copy its public URL.

How it works

1Choose a supported file from your device.
2Upload the file to create its public URL.
3Copy the URL and share or use it where needed.

Ways to use it

Use the direct URL as the source of a video element on your website.
Add a video address to documentation or a presentation that accepts external media.

Put the result to work

Open the uploaded URL first, then paste it into your website’s video source field or the HTML example below. The URL points to the file, rather than an editable presentation page.

Example only — replace the sample address with your uploaded URL

<video controls preload="metadata" src="https://example.com/video.mp4"></video>

Checks and troubleshooting

If the browser downloads the file or shows no picture, check its video codec and your site’s media restrictions. Try a browser-compatible export; uploading itself does not change the encoding.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this URL in an HTML video element?

Yes, you can use the direct file URL as the source. Playback still depends on the video codec and the browser; test your file in the browsers you need.

Who can access the uploaded file?

Uploading creates a public file URL. Anyone with that URL can access the file, so choose content you are happy to share publicly.

Will the file open in every browser?

Video playback depends on the browser and the codecs in your file. Images also need a supported format. Uploading does not convert or re-encode the file.
