Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a quality loss when converting from MP4 to WebM?
When converting between video formats, some quality loss is inevitable. However, our converter uses high-quality settings to minimize this loss. WebM's efficient codecs often deliver comparable visual quality at lower bitrates than MP4.
Which browsers support WebM?
WebM is supported in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, and most Chromium-based browsers. Safari has added support in recent versions. For maximum compatibility, you may want to provide both MP4 and WebM versions of your videos.

Can I convert multiple files at once?
Currently, our tool processes one file at a time. For batch conversion, you'll need to convert each file individually.
