FAQ

Why convert MP4 to WebM?

WebM offers better compression, is royalty-free, and plays natively in modern browsers—ideal for web developers and CMS platforms.

Which codec should I choose, VP8 or VP9?

VP9 gives higher quality at lower bitrates but needs newer browsers (Chrome 29+, Firefox 28+). VP8 is slightly larger yet supports older devices.

Can WebM carry transparent video?

Yes. VP9 supports an alpha channel. Enable “Transparency” in Advanced settings to export WebM with a clear background.

Will converting lower my video quality?

Quality depends on bitrate. Keep Auto for a balanced result or raise the bitrate in Advanced settings for near-lossless output.

Does WebM play on Safari or iOS?

Safari on macOS 11+ supports VP9 WebM. Older Safari and iOS browsers need an MP4 fallback—serve both formats with multiple <source> tags.

What’s the maximum upload size?

Up to 100 MB per file. Larger projects should be trimmed or down-scaled before upload.

How are my files kept private?

Transfers use encrypted HTTPS. Files are processed only in volatile memory and are automatically deleted minutes after conversion.
