Workflow

Chrome Extension workflow

Keep the flow operational and honest: inspect, choose a route, then move heavy processing to an owner-side tool when needed.

  1. Inspect sourceIdentify direct file, playlist, container, codecs, duration, and access context.
  2. Choose output goalBrowser playback, sharing, editing, archiving, and compression need different paths.
  3. Prefer copy when safeAvoid quality loss when the existing tracks already fit the target container.
  4. Use owner-side processingLarge files and precise media changes belong in FFmpeg or a trusted local workflow.

FAQ

Common questions

Can this run in the browser?

This page creates a plan and client-side helper output. Heavy media processing should run owner-side.

Will quality change?

Quality changes only when re-encoding or compressing is required.

What should users avoid?

Do not process private, unauthorized, DRM-protected, login-only, or temporary media links.
