WebM quality

Browser-native WebM

This converter uses MediaRecorder, so codec support depends on your browser. Standard MP4 files are usually easiest to convert.

How to convert MP4 to WebM

Upload an MP4 or M4V file, choose the range you want to convert, select an output width and quality preset, then create a WebM download.

For smaller WebM files, lower the width, choose the Small preset, reduce the frame rate, or disable audio when you do not need it.

What this converter does

This browser-only converter redraws the MP4 video into a canvas and records that canvas as a WebM file using MediaRecorder.

It is a practical local conversion workflow, not a lossless container remux. Quality and file size depend on the selected bitrate, width, and motion in the source.

Private browser processing

The source video is decoded and converted locally on your device. This tool does not upload or store the MP4 file.

Conversion runs in real time, so a one minute selected range usually takes about one minute to process.

A 30 second H.264 MP4 product demo
A WebM file recorded at the selected width, FPS, and quality preset

For websites, WebM can be a useful companion format next to MP4 because modern browsers can play it efficiently.

FAQ

Does this upload my MP4?

No. The conversion runs locally in your browser with video, canvas, Web Audio, and MediaRecorder APIs. Your file is not uploaded or stored by this tool.

Why is conversion real time?

Without FFmpeg, the browser records the selected range while playing it. That keeps the tool private, but longer videos take longer to convert.

Can this convert any MP4?

The browser must be able to decode the MP4 codec inside the file. Standard H.264 MP4 files usually work best; unusual codecs may fail to load.

Will the WebM be smaller than the MP4?

Often, but not always. If the source MP4 is already optimized, a new WebM at high quality can be similar in size or larger.
