Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online video to webm.
Choose your video, pick an output height and bitrate, then click Start export. The clip
re-records through a canvas and downloads as a WebM file.

export contains the picture track only.
Yes. Choose a lower output height such as 720p or 480p and a lower bitrate, which cuts the

WebM stores VP8 or VP9 video in a Matroska container, while MP4 usually holds H.264 or H.265
video and is more widely supported on older devices.
It needs MediaRecorder and canvas capture, which current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox
and Opera provide. Safari support is more limited.
No. The file is decoded and re-encoded entirely inside your browser, and nothing is sent to a
server at any point.

folder with the original file name.
