MP4Joiner: The Fastest Way to Merge MP4 Files Without Quality Loss
Experience true lossless video joining with MP4Joiner. Combine multiple video clips into one in seconds without re-encoding. Runs on Windows (32-bit installer; runs on 64-bit Windows too) and macOS 10.10 or later.
Why MP4Joiner is the Best Choice for Video Merging
Unlike traditional video editors that degrade quality through re-compression, MP4Joiner works at the binary level to ensure your videos remain pixel-perfect.
True Lossless Merging
MP4Joiner uses Direct Stream Copy technology. By joining the video bitstreams directly, it bypasses the re-encoding process, meaning 0% quality loss and original resolution retention.
Ultra-Fast Processing
Since it doesn’t need to “render” the video, merging is nearly instantaneous. Even large 4K MP4 files can be joined in seconds, limited only by your hard drive’s read/write speed.
Drag & Drop Simplicity
Designed for everyone. Simply drag your video clips into the interface, arrange the order, and click “Join”. No complex technical knowledge or video editing skills required.
Full OS Support
Whether you are on Windows (32-bit installer — runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows; there is no separate 64-bit build) or macOS 10.10 or later (Intel build; Apple Silicon not officially verified), MP4Joiner provides a simple, focused joining tool.
Free & Open Source
Distributed under the GNU GPL license. No hidden costs, no subscription fees, and no annoying watermarks on your output videos. Just pure open-source power.
Includes MP4Splitter
Every download includes MP4Splitter, allowing you to not only join but also cut your MP4 files into multiple segments with the same lossless efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about MP4Joiner.
Q: Is MP4Joiner really free to use?

Q: Does MP4Joiner run on 64-bit Windows?
Yes — as a 32-bit program. MP4Tools 3.8 ships only as a 32-bit installer, which runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. There is no separate 64-bit build.
Q: Why is the merging process so fast?
MP4Joiner utilizes a technique called Direct Stream Copy. If your videos share the same properties (resolution, frame rate, etc.), the software simply stitches the files together without re-encoding the video data. This process is nearly instant.
Q: What should I do if the merging fails?
Failure usually occurs when the input files have mismatched codecs or resolutions. In such cases, MP4Joiner will offer an option to re-encode the files. Enabling this will allow the merge to succeed, although it will take slightly longer.

The download buttons on this site link to the official SourceForge files for MP4Tools 3.8. Verify your download with the SHA-256 checksums on the download page, and scan any download with your antivirus.
