How to convert a torrent to an HLS stream with Webtor.io

Turn any torrent into a streamable HLS video in 3 simple steps — real-time cloud transcoding, no download required.

1

Provide the torrent

Upload a .torrent file or paste a magnet link into Webtor.io.

2

Server-side conversion

Webtor fetches the torrent data and transcodes video to HLS segments in real time.

3

Stream or integrate

Watch in the browser, open in Stremio, or use the developer API to embed the stream.

Explained

What does "torrent to stream" mean?

Torrent to stream is the process of converting torrent video content into an HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) or DASH video stream on the fly. Instead of downloading the entire file, the video is segmented and delivered in small chunks that play sequentially in any compatible player.

Webtor.io performs this conversion in the cloud using FFmpeg-based real-time transcoding. The result is an HLS stream delivered in small segments, enabling instant playback without waiting for the full file to download.

Benefits

Why convert torrents to streams?

Raw torrent files are not streamable — they require a BitTorrent client and full download. Converting to HLS unlocks instant playback, device compatibility, and integration possibilities.

Safety

Is torrent to stream conversion safe?

With Webtor.io, all torrent-to-stream conversion happens on the server. Your device never connects to the torrent swarm, and the resulting HLS stream is delivered over encrypted HTTPS. No VPN is needed, no ports to configure, and no peer-to-peer traffic reaches your network.

Devices

Stream converted torrents on any device

HLS is the most widely supported streaming format. Once a torrent is converted, the stream plays on virtually any device with a browser or media player.

Windows, macOS, and Linux browsers
Android and iOS mobile devices

Quick answers to the things people ask most.

Is Webtor.io free to use?

Yes, Webtor.io is completely free for basic use. You can stream and download torrents without creating an account. Optional paid plans remove ads, increase bandwidth, and unlock Vault cloud storage.

Do I need a VPN to use Webtor.io? Will my ISP see what I download?

No VPN required. All traffic between you and Webtor.io travels over HTTPS. Your IP address is never exposed to the BitTorrent network because Webtor.io servers handle all peer communication. For your ISP, using Webtor.io looks no different from visiting any other website.

Is Webtor.io an open-source project?

Yes, 100%. All components of Webtor.io are distributed under the MIT license. You can visit the GitHub repository to view the source code and contribute.

Can I watch my library on a smart TV?

Yes! With the Stremio integration you can stream your personal library on any smart TV or device running Stremio. Just install the addon using the link from your profile.

How do I open a .torrent file in my browser?

Drag your .torrent file into the upload area at the top of this page, or paste a magnet link into the search field. Webtor opens it instantly — pick the video or audio file you want and stream it, or grab a direct download link. There's no torrent client to install and nothing to set up.

How do I download files from a magnet link without a torrent client?

Paste the magnet link into the search field at the top of this page. Webtor acts as an online magnet link downloader: it fetches the torrent and gives you a direct HTTP download link for each file, plus a built-in player to stream video and audio. Your browser never connects to the BitTorrent network — Webtor servers handle that.

What is Discover and how do the AI recommendations work?

Discover is a recommendations page powered by AI. Open it from the main navigation, type what you want to watch (or tap one of the suggested chips), and Webtor returns a personalized list of films — each with a short reason explaining why it fits your taste and what you've watched before. Click any card to start streaming through your usual addons.

Is AI Discover free? How many requests do I get?

Yes — every account gets 2 free AI request(s) per day. Supporters of the project get 15 requests per day. Suggestion chips and the rest of the Discover catalog are unlimited; only the natural-language search counts against the daily quota.

What AI model powers the recommendations? Is my data safe?

Recommendations are generated by Anthropic's Claude — a fast model for the free tier and a more capable one for supporters. We send the model only your title/year/rating history. No email, IP address, or any other personal data is shared. The response is used purely to suggest films you can stream through your usual addons.

Do download links or streams expire?

Yes, for security reasons direct download links and streaming sessions are temporary and may expire after a short time. You can always refresh or regenerate them from your library interface.

How can I remove ads on Webtor.io?

Support the project and you'll get an ad-free experience, faster loading speeds, and a heart icon in the interface.

Why do some downloaded ZIP archives show a CRC error?

ZIP archives are generated on-the-fly and don't include full checksum data. Some extraction tools may show a warning even when the file is fully intact. We recommend using 7-Zip for best compatibility.

Why is my download or streaming speed slow on Webtor.io?

Speeds may vary due to the number of seeders, file format (some require real-time transcoding), your internet connection, current server load, and your account type. Premium users get higher bandwidth.

Note: bandwidth is measured in Mbps (megabits per second), while file sizes are shown in MB (megabytes). 1 MB = 8 Mb, so a 50 Mbps connection gives roughly 6.25 MB/s download speed. Supporting the project helps unlock better speed and reliability.
