PowerPoint Video Converter — Make Your Video Play in the Deck
MP4, MOV, WebM, GIF, JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, ZIP
Up to 100 MB free · 1 GB with Pro
HEIC, animated WebP input, PNG sequences and frame sequence export require Pro.
You inserted a video and PowerPoint said it cannot play the media, or that a codec is unavailable. The file usually isn't broken: the video inside it is encoded in a way PowerPoint can't decode, which is common with MOV files from a phone and WebM files from a browser or screen recorder. Convert it here and you get an MP4 that PowerPoint plays — drop the file, press Convert, insert the result.
LightBox encodes it the way Microsoft recommends for PowerPoint: H.264 video with AAC sound in an MP4. The picture is fitted inside 1920×1080 without ever being scaled up, and the frame rate is kept at 30 fps or below. There's nothing to set: PowerPoint is already chosen, and Trim is there if you only need part of the clip.
Converting for PowerPoint is part of Pro, which you can unlock with a one-time upgrade or a 24-hour pass. Your file is converted on our server and never watermarked.
Why convert with LightBox
Plays in PowerPoint
An H.264 MP4 with AAC sound is the format Microsoft recommends for PowerPoint, so PowerPoint can play it instead of reporting a missing codec.
Sized for the screen
The picture fits inside 1920×1080 and is never scaled up, and the frame rate is held at 30 fps or below. The deck stays a sensible size, and the video still holds up on a projector or a large screen.
