Convert TS to YUV
Fast, free, and secure TS to YUV conversion. No registration required.
No app to install, no account to create — just open this page, drop your ts file, and get yuv output in seconds. What makes this conversion useful: MPEG-TS Video gives you error-resilient streaming format for broadcast television, but YUV Raw Video unlocks video processing research, codec development and test sequences — something MPEG-TS Video struggles with (large overhead per packet, not ideal for file-based storage). This is one of the most frequently used conversions on Xonvert, with 565 daily conversions on average. Bookmark this page for quick access whenever you need this conversion again in the future.
Advantages of YUV over TS
There are strong reasons to convert TS to YUV:

TS to YUV: Quality Comparison
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the YUV Raw Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in YUV Raw Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality MPEG-TS Video input produces an excellent YUV Raw Video output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly. MPEG-TS Video encodes data using perceptual compression that prioritizes human perception. YUV Raw Video prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Video format conversion from MPEG-TS Video to YUV Raw Video involves re-encoding or remuxing the video stream. Xonvert selects the most efficient encoding strategy — remuxing when possible (zero quality loss) and re-encoding with optimal parameters when the target format requires a different codec. Key factors include codec compatibility, resolution handling, and audio stream preservation.
Important: Converting from lossy TS to lossless YUV does not restore previously discarded data. The output perfectly preserves your current file quality without adding further degradation, but quality lost during the original TS encoding cannot be recovered.
Resolution handling: Your video's original resolution is preserved by default. You can optionally downscale in the settings panel to reduce file size — useful when preparing content for mobile viewing or web upload.

TS to YUV FAQ
How does the TS to YUV conversion work technically?▼
Xonvert uses WebAssembly-compiled libraries to decode your TS file in-browser, process the video data, and re-encode it as YUV. All processing happens on your device's CPU.
What happens to my files after conversion?▼
Nothing — your files exist only in your browser's memory during conversion. Once you close the page, all data is cleared. No files are stored anywhere.
What is TS format?▼
MPEG-TS Video is MPEG Transport Stream used in broadcasting and streaming. It is primarily used for digital television broadcast, IPTV and live streaming. Fixed 188-byte packets with error correction capabilities
Will the conversion strip my EXIF or metadata?▼
Xonvert preserves metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3, etc.) when the target YUV format supports it. You can optionally strip metadata in the settings for smaller, cleaner output files.
Does the conversion preserve metadata?▼
Xonvert preserves compatible metadata fields when converting between formats. Some format-specific metadata may not carry over if the target format doesn't support it.
Can I share the converted YUV file directly?▼
Yes. After conversion, you can download the YUV file and share it via email, messaging apps, cloud storage, or any other method you prefer.
Does converting TS to YUV change the resolution?▼
No. The original resolution is preserved by default. You can optionally resize in the settings panel if you need different dimensions.
