Frequently asked questions
Why convert MP4 to WebM?
WebM is an open video format for the web. Websites use it as an alternative to MP4: at the same quality, VP9 usually gives a smaller file than H.264.
Which codecs are used?
VP9 for video (VP8 or AV1 if your browser can't encode VP9) and Opus for audio.
Will WebM play on an iPhone?
Recent Safari and iOS versions play WebM, but older devices and some apps don't. If you need maximum compatibility, stick with MP4.
Why does it take a while?
Re-encoding video is heavy work, and it happens right on your device. A minute of video takes from tens of seconds to a few minutes, depending on resolution and your computer. Progress is shown as a percentage.
How do I make the file smaller?
Choose “Medium” or “Low” quality and a smaller frame size — 720p or 480p. 720p means the short side of the frame is 720 pixels: for a vertical video that's the width.
Which browsers does it work in?
Up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari: video is encoded with the browser's built-in codecs (WebCodecs). If your browser lacks a codec, the file's row will tell you.
Is it safe?
Yes. Only the converter itself is loaded from the site; your video is processed in your browser and never sent to a server.
