About WebM
When was WebM created?
WebM was announced by Google in May 2010. The format grew out of Google’s acquisition of On2 Technologies earlier that year, which gave Google the VP8 video codec. Google then open-sourced VP8 and built WebM around it as a royalty-free alternative for web video.
What codecs does WebM support?
It supports VP8, VP9, and AV1 for video, and Vorbis or Opus for audio.
Fun Facts About WebM
– YouTube uses WebM heavily to save bandwidth while keeping high video quality.
– AV1 WebM videos can reduce data usage by 30–50% compared to older codecs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my files after I upload them?
Uploaded files are used only to complete your conversion and are securely deleted immediately afterward. Your converted file remains available for download for 24 hours, after which it is also securely deleted.
What is the largest video file size I can upload?
2048 MB (2 GB) is the largest file size we accept at the moment.
Why won’t my WebM video play on my iPhone or TV?
Apple iOS and most TV operating systems lack native support for the WebM container and its VP8 and VP9 video codecs. Their built-in players are designed around formats like MP4 and MOV, so they cannot decode WebM files directly. Converting your WebM file to MP4 resolves the issue on virtually every device.
