Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert MP4 to WebM?

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) uses lossy compressed encoding and is best for universal video playback on any device — phones, smart TVs, web browsers, and social media. WebM (WebM Video) uses lossy compressed encoding and excels at web-optimized video — streaming, embedded players, and HTML5 video tags with fast loading. Converting between them lets you take advantage of each format's strengths — for example, using a compressed format for sharing and a lossless format for editing. All conversion happens locally in your browser with no file size limits.

How much smaller is WebM?

Typically 30–50% smaller than H.264 MP4 at equal quality — a 100 MB homepage video lands near 60 MB. Multiply across a media library for real bandwidth wins.

Which browsers play WebM?

All modern browsers play WebM; Safari joined fully in recent versions. Serve WebM primary with MP4 fallback for certainty.

What settings?
