VideoToURL is a free online video hosting service that converts uploaded MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, and MKV files into permanent, shareable URLs in seconds — no registration required.
What is VideoToURL?
VideoToURL is a web-based tool that takes local video files (up to 100MB, supporting MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, MKV, MPEG, OGG, 3GP, FLV) and returns a direct, permanent link. The service runs entirely in the browser, uses HTTPS for uploads, and delivers videos via a global CDN. It is operated by the VideoToURL team (no parent company named on the page).
Key Features

- Global CDN Delivery — Videos are served from a content delivery network for fast playback worldwide.
- Privacy-First — No tracking, no analysis of uploaded content; uploads over HTTPS.

How does VideoToURL work?
Upload a video via drag-and-drop or file browser on the Convert to URL page. The site processes the file in about 3 seconds, then returns a permanent, direct link. You can copy the link immediately and share it anywhere — no account needed for the free tier.
Pricing
VideoToURL operates on a freemium model. The standard upload flow is free for videos up to 100MB with no registration. Signing in unlocks higher file size limits and upload history, but specific paid tier names and prices are not listed on the page.
