Best for
Preparing web delivery where an open WebM asset is preferred, especially for browser playback that does not require an MP4-only editing workflow.
Input → output
MP4, MOV, or MKV input becomes VP8 video with Vorbis audio in WebM at a selectable 0.5, 1, or 2 megabits per second.
Quality tip
Start at 1 Mbps for ordinary motion and use 2 Mbps for detailed interfaces or fast movement. Compare at the intended display size.
Know before running
The encode is lossy, and a fixed bitrate gives complex scenes fewer bits per detail than simple scenes. WebM is also less convenient in some editors and older Apple-oriented workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Is Video to WebM free? Is there a watermark?
Yes — Video to WebM is free to use with no sign-up or watermark. Very large files can still be limited by your browser's available memory and processing resources.
Do my files get uploaded to a server?
No. Video to WebM runs entirely in your browser with WebAssembly, so your MP4, MOV, MKV file never leaves your device and nothing is stored or seen by us.
What can I put in, and what do I get out?
Video to WebM accepts MP4, MOV, MKV and gives you back a WEBM file. You can also set bitrate before you run it. Actual codec support depends on what the bundled engine or browser decoder can read.
Will I lose quality converting to WEBM?
The VP8 conversion is lossy and uses the bitrate you select. Detailed or fast-moving scenes generally need more bitrate than simple motion.
