# How do I change the exported video format?

## Identity Cloak exports all files as avi as default. You can change this to mp4 if you would prefer.

To change the file format of your exported videos, you must do this before you have imported your video. 

1. Open Identity Cloak
2. Go to Settings on your taskbar![Screenshot 2023-11-02 at 13.08.41](https://knowledgebase.facit.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20at%2013.08.41.jpeg?width=688&height=369&name=Screenshot%202023-11-02%20at%2013.08.41.jpeg)
3. Select Export from the drop-down![Export](https://knowledgebase.facit.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Export.jpeg?width=688&height=369&name=Export.jpeg)
4. Select either .mp4 or .avi (the one with the tick next to it is the format you are exporting in).![Screenshot 2023-11-02 at 13.08.47-1](https://knowledgebase.facit.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20at%2013.08.47-1.jpeg?width=688&height=369&name=Screenshot%202023-11-02%20at%2013.08.47-1.jpeg)
