The story behind our mission to make media conversion simple for everyone
Share-Tube was founded in 2023 by a small team of developers who were frustrated by the complexity and limitations of existing media conversion tools. We saw a need for a simple, reliable, and free solution that would work across all devices and didn't require any technical knowledge.
"To make media conversion accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise or budget."
We believe that converting files between formats should be simple, fast, and free. Our goal is to remove the barriers that make file conversion difficult and provide a service that anyone can use without hassle.
The idea for Share-Tube was born when our founders encountered the frustration of trying to convert video files for a community project. Existing tools were either expensive, complicated, or filled with intrusive ads.
Development began on a prototype that focused on simplicity and ease of use. The core principle was "no more than three clicks to convert a file."
The first beta version of Share-Tube was launched, supporting basic MP3 and MP4 conversions. We invited friends and family to test the service and provide feedback.
Share-Tube officially launched to the public with support for five output formats: MP3, WAV, MP4, M4A, and FLAC. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
We reached our first major milestone: 100,000 successful conversions. We celebrated by expanding our server capacity and improving conversion speeds.
Major interface update with the addition of dark mode, improved mobile experience, and expanded educational resources on file formats.
Share-Tube continues to grow, with new features and improvements added regularly based on user feedback. We're constantly working to make file conversion even simpler and more accessible.
Share-Tube is powered by a small but dedicated team of professionals who are passionate about creating intuitive, user-friendly tools. We come from diverse backgrounds but share a common goal: making technology more accessible to everyone.

Share-Tube is built on a modern technology stack designed for performance, reliability, and scalability. We use open-source technologies whenever possible and contribute back to the open-source community.
Our conversion engine is powered by FFmpeg, a leading multimedia framework capable of decoding, encoding, transcoding, muxing, demuxing, streaming, filtering, and playing virtually any type of media. We've optimized FFmpeg for cloud environments to ensure fast, reliable conversions.
We take security and privacy seriously. All file transfers use secure HTTPS connections, and files are stored on secure servers with restricted access. We automatically delete all files after one hour to protect your privacy.
Our platform is constantly evolving. We regularly update our conversion engine with the latest codecs and optimizations, and we're always working on new features based on user feedback. Our development process includes rigorous testing to ensure reliability and performance.
At Share-Tube, our values guide everything we do. They define how we build our product, how we interact with our users, and how we work as a team.
We believe technology should be accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise or financial resources. We strive to make our service as intuitive and barrier-free as possible.
We respect user privacy and build our systems with privacy in mind from the beginning. We collect minimal data, never share your files, and automatically delete all uploaded files after one hour.
We believe the best tools are those that get out of your way. We focus on making file conversion as simple and efficient as possible, eliminating unnecessary steps and complexity.
We listen to our users and let their needs guide our development process. Many of our best features and improvements have come directly from user feedback.
We believe in breaking down language and geographic barriers. We're working to make Share-Tube available in multiple languages and accessible from anywhere in the world.
We have big plans for the future of Share-Tube. Our roadmap includes:
