FreeNo watermarkNo signupUp to 100 MBDeleted after 1 hour

Convert 30 fps video to 48 fps online. 48 fps is double-rate cinema (HFR). For real smoothness, enable motion interpolation — it generates new in-between frames instead of duplicating existing ones.

How to convert 30 fps to 48 fps

  1. Upload your video. Drop your 30 fps clip into the converter — up to 100 MB, any common format.
  2. Confirm 48 fps. 48 fps is preselected on this page. Pick a different target or type a custom rate if needed.
  3. Choose smoothing mode. Keep motion interpolation on for genuinely smoother motion (slower), or turn it off for a fast frame-duplication convert.
  4. Download. Download the converted MP4. The file stays available for 1 hour, then it's deleted automatically.

When you need 48 fps

How the conversion works

Two modes. Fast (default off): existing frames are duplicated to reach 48 fps — compatible, but motion looks the same. Motion-compensated interpolation: the converter analyses movement between your 30 fps frames and generates real new in-between frames — visibly smoother, like a TV's motion-smoothing, but rendered permanently into the file. 48 isn't an even multiple of 30, so duplicated frames land in an uneven pattern that can look slightly stuttery — motion interpolation avoids this by generating the in-between frames instead.

Frequently asked questions

Will converting 30 fps to 48 fps actually make my video smoother?

Only with motion interpolation enabled — it generates real new in-between frames. Without it, frames are duplicated: the file plays at 48 fps but motion looks identical to the original.

Does it change the video length or audio?

No. Only the frames-per-second count changes. Duration is identical and audio is carried over in sync.

What formats can I upload, and what do I get back?

Upload mp4, mov, webm, mkv, avi… anything ffmpeg reads. You get back a widely compatible MP4 — H.264 video (CRF 20), AAC audio, web-optimized (faststart).

Is this 30 to 48 fps converter free?

Yes — free, no signup, no watermark. Files up to 100 MB, deleted automatically after one hour.

How long does motion interpolation take?

Several times the clip's duration, depending on resolution — it computes motion for every generated frame. Plain duplication is usually faster than real time.
