How it works

How to use the MP4 to WebM tool

  1. 1

    Add a video

    MP4, MOV, MKV or AVI.

  2. 2

    Pick quality

    Balanced suits most web use.

  3. 3

    Download the WebM

    Ready for HTML5 video and open-source players.

When to use WebM

WebM is royalty-free and supported by all modern browsers, making it popular for website background videos and open-source projects. For maximum device compatibility (especially older iPhones), MP4 is still the safer choice.

Limitations

We’d rather be upfront about what this tool can’t do yet:

  • VP8 encoding is slow in a browser — best for short clips.
  • 300 MB per file.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device, so your files are never sent to FreeToolsDaily or anyone else.

Why does the first conversion take longer?

The first time, your browser downloads the FFmpeg engine (about 30 MB). It’s cached afterwards, so later conversions start almost instantly.

Does WebM play on iPhone?

Recent iOS versions support WebM in Safari, but older devices may not — keep an MP4 copy for broad compatibility.
