Are files uploaded for this tool?

This browser tool processes the selected media locally on this device. The file is not uploaded to ArtPlayer servers for this workflow.

Will the export have a watermark?

No. ArtPlayer browser tools do not add watermarks to exported files.

The work runs in your browser, so speed depends on your device, browser, memory, source size, and the export settings needed for the result.

Recent Chrome, Edge, and other modern Chromium browsers usually work best for heavier browser media processing.

Try a smaller source, close other heavy tabs, reduce resolution or duration first, and keep the tab open until the export finishes.

The stream must be a public VOD-style HLS playlist. ArtPlayer retries through its media proxy when direct browser reads are blocked by CORS.

HLS playlists reference segment files, so the browser needs to fetch the playlist and its related media segments.

Yes, for public playlists and segments. ArtPlayer first reads them directly, then retries through its media proxy if CORS blocks the browser.

No. The tool does not bypass protection and only works with accessible streams.

Convert a public HLS or M3U8 stream into a downloadable MP4 directly in the browser, with a proxy fallback for CORS-blocked sources.

Three steps to finish the browser workflow.

1
HLS playlist URL
Use a public HTTP or HTTPS M3U8 URL. ArtPlayer retries CORS-blocked sources through its media proxy. DRM- or credential-protected streams are not supported.
2
Convert to MP4
The page reads the HLS playlist and its segments with Mediabunny, decodes the primary tracks, and writes a single MP4 file for local download.
3
Download MP4
Preview the converted file, then download it to this device.

Core details about privacy, browser support, output, and practical limits before you start.
