About Video Loop

Video Loop is shaped around how people actually use video editing and conversion utilities online: open the page, drop in a file, get the result. Repeat any video N times back-to-back to create a longer looped MP4. Files are processed entirely in your browser with FFmpeg WebAssembly — no uploads, no sign up. The interface stays out of the way once the work begins so the engine can use the available CPU and memory for the actual transformation.

Common audiences for Video Loop include product teams shipping release demos and creators trimming short clips, but plenty of people land on the page through a one-off search and never come back — that is also fine. The tool is built to be useful even when you only ever need it once.

Most people land on Video Loop via a search at the moment they actually need the tool. That shapes the design: the page is a single screen with the input on one side, the controls in the middle, and the result on the other, so a first-time visitor can complete the job without reading documentation.

Internally the tool runs on FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly — the same processing stack used by professional desktop pipelines, just compiled for the browser. MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI, FLV, and OGV files are accepted natively. 500 MB is the practical ceiling, set so the tool stays responsive on phones and older laptops.

Video Loop is structured so the question "where is my file processed?" has a single answer: in your browser tab. The engine, the controls, and the result panel are all on one page. Navigating away or closing the tab clears the page's memory the way it does for every other tab.

For multi-step jobs, Video Loop sits next to Video Fade, Video Clip Maker, and Video Compressor. None of them depend on each other — you can use Video Loop on its own — but together they cover the common variations of the task this page exists to handle.

A practical note on limits: Video Loop accepts inputs up to 500 MB per run, and the tool processes one input at a time to keep memory usage predictable. If you ever bump into the ceiling, the cause is the size of the input.

The transformation in Video Loop is deterministic — the same input plus the same options produces the same result every run. That predictability matters when the result has to match an upstream specification or be reproducible later.

When the job finishes, Video Loop hands you the result as `{name}-edited.{ext}`. Filenames are derived from your input where possible, so a quick batch of jobs leaves you with a tidy folder rather than a pile of generic "output (3)" files. Nothing is auto-saved on Favtoo's side because nothing was ever sent there.

From a product perspective, Video Loop is one of the simplest possible expressions of "do one thing well." The catalog contains dozens of related tools that each handle a slightly different video editing and conversion task, and every one is a separate page rather than a tab inside a larger app. That separation keeps each tool fast to load and easy to bookmark.

Video Loop fits the gap where opening a desktop app feels heavy and writing a script feels overkill. The page handles the common video editing and conversion task with sensible defaults so a single visit usually completes the job; for highly specialised work, a dedicated desktop application can offer more knobs to turn.

Useful patterns when working with Video Loop: keep the input file open in another tab so you can compare against the result; give the output file a descriptive name when saving so you can find it later (the default name is sensible but generic); and treat each run as independent — the tool has no concept of "history", which means you cannot accidentally pollute one job with leftovers from another.

If Video Loop appears to hang, the engine is almost certainly still working — large inputs simply take longer to process inside a browser than they would on a server with multi-core scheduling. For inputs near the 500 MB cap, give it up to a minute on a typical laptop before assuming something is stuck.

That is essentially everything Video Loop does and how it does it. Open the tool above, drop in your input, and the work happens in the page. If you find yourself reaching for it often, bookmark the page — it loads quickly on subsequent visits, and your most-recent settings are remembered for the rest of the session.

How it works

  1. 1Land on the Video Loop page. The tool is ready to use the moment the page renders.
  2. 2Select the MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI, FLV, and OGV file you want to process — drag-and-drop and the file picker both work.
  3. 3Pick any non-default settings you need. Most users leave the defaults alone for the first run and only revisit if the result needs tuning.
  4. 4Click to start the job. The engine (FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly) processes the input in the page; you can watch the progress indicator until it completes.
  5. 5Save the output (`{name}-edited.{ext}`) when it is ready.
  6. 6Re-run with different settings as often as you want. Each run produces a fresh output and the original file on disk is never modified.

Common use cases

FAQ

How does looping work?

A WebAssembly build of FFmpeg loads in this page and uses the `-stream_loop` flag to play your input N times into a single MP4 — entirely on your device. Both video and audio loop together.

Why is in-browser looping slower than online tools?

Server tools use native multi-threaded FFmpeg with hardware acceleration. WebAssembly is single-threaded inside the browser, typically 3–6× slower for re-encoding. The trade-off is total privacy: your video never leaves your device.

How many loops can I make?

2 to 20 times. The output duration grows linearly — looping a 30-second clip 10 times produces a 5-minute MP4.

Will audio loop too?

Yes. Both the video and the audio repeat together, so a 30-second clip with music looped 4 times gives you 2 minutes of perfectly synchronized audio and video.

Does it produce a seamless loop?

No — looping splices the end of the clip directly to the beginning, so any sudden change in audio or motion will be audible/visible at the join. For seamless loops, design your clip so its first and last frame match (use the Video Fade tool to add fade-out → fade-in transitions).

How big can the output get?

Looped output size scales with the loop count. A 50MB source looped 10× produces roughly 500MB of output. Use the Video Compressor afterward if you need a smaller file.

How big a source video can I use?

Up to 500MB. Long high-resolution sources looped many times can hit browser memory limits — start with smaller loop counts and scale up.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The looping runs entirely in your browser tab. Nothing is transmitted, stored, or logged. Closing the tab erases the file from memory immediately.

How do I run Video Loop over a folder of files?

Video Loop processes one input at a time by design — it keeps memory usage predictable on lower-end devices and makes results easier to verify. To handle a folder, run the tool once per file; the page stays loaded between runs and remembers your last-used settings, so the second run is essentially instant.

Is Video Loop mobile-friendly?

Video Loop runs in any modern mobile browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox and the in-app browsers in most messaging apps all support the underlying APIs. Performance depends on the device: a recent phone handles typical inputs nearly as fast as a laptop, while older devices may take a few seconds longer near the 500 MB ceiling. The interface lays out cleanly on small screens, so you do not need to pinch-zoom to see the controls.

How often is Video Loop updated?

Video Loop is updated whenever the underlying engine releases an improvement or a bug fix. Because the tool is delivered as a static page, every visit fetches the latest version automatically — there is no "version" to manage on your end. If a particular release ever changes default behaviour, the change is documented on Favtoo's changelog so you can confirm what shifted.

What is the maximum file size for Video Loop?

Inputs are capped at 500 MB per file, which keeps memory usage stable across phones, tablets and older laptops. You can run Video Loop as often as you need; every run produces a full-quality result.

What does Video Loop do that command-line tools do not?

Desktop apps usually have more advanced features but require installation, maintenance and (often) a licence. Paid online tools are convenient but route your file through their servers and gate downloads behind accounts. Video Loop sits in between: free, instant, and private, but intentionally narrow in scope. For one-off jobs and the common video editing and conversion operations, it is usually the lowest-friction choice; for highly specialised work, a dedicated app is still the right answer.

Is the source for Video Loop available?

Video Loop is a static page running an open-source engine in your browser, so a typical corporate firewall does not get in the way as long as it allows JavaScript and WebAssembly to load from Favtoo. For teams that need to host it themselves on an internal network, the underlying engine (FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly) is open-source and can be packaged into a private build with the same behaviour. Reach out via the Contact page if that is something you are exploring.

What should I do if Video Loop fails on my file?

Failures usually fall into one of three buckets: the input is in an unsupported format, the input is over the size cap, or the input is structurally malformed (a truncated download, a partial export, or a stream the engine does not recognise). The first two are easy to confirm — check that your file is one of MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI, FLV, and OGV and that it is below 500 MB. For the third, opening the file in its native viewer first is the fastest way to confirm the source is intact.

Where does my file actually go when I use Video Loop?

Your file is processed inside your browser by FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. The engine reads the file's bytes from your tab's memory, computes the result, and writes the result back into the tab. You can confirm what the page does by opening developer tools and watching the Network tab during a run — the requests you see are for the tool's static assets only.

Does Video Loop need an internet connection to run?

Once the page is loaded, Video Loop can complete jobs without an active internet connection — the engine is bundled with the page, so there is no per-job network call. The initial page load does require a connection (to fetch the static assets), but after that you can disconnect entirely and the tool will still work. This is a side-effect of the local-first architecture, not a deliberate "offline mode" feature.
