About MP4 to WebM Converter — Free Online Tool

MP4 to WebM Converter turns an H.264 MP4 into a WebM file, the format built for HTML5 video without a patent licence attached to it.

Encoding goes through libvpx — VP8 by default, VP9 if you pick it — and the audio is re-encoded to Vorbis, not Opus. Both VP8 and VP9 are slow encoders, and because the engine here runs on a single thread a long clip can take several times its own duration; the realtime deadline and cpu-used 5 settings exist to keep that tolerable, at some cost in how small the result gets. The stated ceiling is 200 MB, and in practice the real limit is how much memory your browser will hand a WebAssembly encoder before it gives up.

Nothing is uploaded. The WebAssembly encoder is served from shorttrick.co.in rather than a public CDN, so no third party sees even a request while you convert, let alone the video.

Serving a background or hero video without an H.264 licence question, getting a smaller file for the same picture on a bandwidth-sensitive page, supplying WebM as a second source element beside an MP4, and preparing video for a tool that only reads open formats.
