How to convert WebM to MP4
Frequently Asked Questions
WebM is an open-source and royalty-free media file format. Developed with the sponsorship of Google, WebM can support high-quality video, thanks to its Matroska container-based structure that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file. WebM is one of the most well-known video standards supported in HTML5 and is designed to work well with web technologies. Because of this, WebM files are played from the Internet in a browser rather than stored on local drives.
You might be more familiar with the MP4 format because it was developed much earlier and is seen as a universal file format. In comparison, the WebM format is not as widely supported. Some browsers may require plug-ins or extensions before playing it. MP4 stores other important data like images and subtitles so it tends to be larger in file size. WebM, meanwhile, uses advanced compression techniques that result in smaller file sizes without quality loss. You can also enjoy high-quality MP4 videos, but they won’t be as sharp-looking because MP4 uses the H.246 codec. A codec is a software component that encodes or decodes a data stream or signal, and the H.264 codec is great for high compression efficiency as well as widespread browser and player support. WebM, on the other hand, uses the VP8 or V9 codec, which offers better compression and preserves more details and colors. That makes the format ideal for high-definition videos.
WebM to MP4 conversion becomes necessary when you need your videos to be playable on and shareable with different devices and online platforms. Having them in MP4 format makes clips more flexible due to its range of compatible options for playback. That said, if you have no problem playing WebM videos on a browser, converting WebM to MP4 may not be necessary.
