Video Converter
Convert videos between MP4 and WEBM, and set the resolution and bitrate at the same time. Add several files and they are converted one after another.

How to use
When it helps
WEBM is common on the web, but some phones, editing apps and messaging apps cannot open it. On the other hand, WEBM is often lighter for web pages. This tool converts between the two.
Conversion works by playing the video once and recording it again, so it takes about as long as the video. In return, it runs entirely in your browser with no install, and your video is never uploaded.
Lowering the resolution or setting a bitrate also reduces file size. If shrinking the file is your main goal, the video compressor is easier to use.
FAQ
Why does converting take as long as the video?
Browsers have no fast way to re-encode video, so the tool plays it once and records the picture and sound again. A 10 minute video takes about 10 minutes.
I cannot select MP4.
Saving as MP4 is supported in recent Chrome, Edge and Safari. In other browsers only WEBM is available.
Can it open AVI, MKV or WMV?
Formats your browser cannot play cannot be opened. If the preview plays, the video can be converted.
Will the quality drop?
Re-encoding means the result is not identical to the original. Setting the bitrate higher than the original makes the difference hard to see.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser.
