Change video frame rate

Upload a video file and re-time it to a new frames per second. Changing the frame rate re-encodes the video, so longer files take a while.

Frame rate

Frame rate conversion, demystified

The tool re-encodes your video at the frame rate you choose. Going down (60 to 30 fps) drops frames evenly and is visually safe. Going up duplicates frames to satisfy a spec without inventing motion, so it will not add smoothness on its own.

Why frame rates need matching

Editors mixing 30 and 60 fps clips on one timeline invite stutter, platform specs pin exact rates for broadcast deliverables, and some players handle unusual rates poorly. Converting once up front keeps the pipeline smooth.

Frequently asked questions

Will converting 30 fps to 60 fps make video smoother?

No, frames are duplicated, not synthesized. Real smoothness requires motion interpolation, a different and artifact-prone technique.

Does dropping 60 to 30 fps hurt quality?

Per-frame quality is preserved by the high-quality re-encode; motion is half as frequently sampled, which most viewers never notice outside fast action.

Local processing?

Yes, conversion runs in your browser without uploads.
