Convert MOV to WebM without uploading it

MOV is Apple’s QuickTime container, the default for iPhone recordings and Mac apps. WebM is an open container built for the web, used by screen recorders and browsers. Switch from one to the other on your own device: drop the file, click convert, download.

Why convert MOV to WebM? Because many Windows programs, Android phones and web players refuse it or need extra codecs, while iPhones, TVs and most editing apps do not support it well. MOV files usually contain H.264, HEVC or ProRes video with AAC or PCM audio; WebM expects VP8, VP9 or AV1 video with Opus or Vorbis audio.

The codecs used by MOV are not accepted by WebM, so the video is re-encoded on your device at a bitrate matched to the original. Your hardware encoder does the work, which is much faster than uploading.

How to convert MOV to WebM

  1. Drop the MOV file. It is read straight from your disk. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no waiting and no file size cap.
  2. Keep WebM selected. Leave “maximum compatibility” on so the result plays everywhere, or turn it off to always copy the streams unchanged.
  3. Convert and download. Preview the result and save it. The original file is untouched.

Questions people ask

Does converting MOV to WebM lose quality?

The video has to be re-encoded, so a tiny amount of detail is traded away. The tool matches the original bitrate so the difference is very hard to notice.

How long does MOV to WebM take?

Re-encoding typically runs at several times real-time speed on a recent laptop or phone with a hardware encoder. A five-minute clip is done in about a minute.

Is it really free with no upload?

Yes. The page is a static website and the conversion runs inside your browser using its built-in video engine. Your MOV file never leaves your device, which is also why there is no watermark, no account and no size limit.

Can I convert several MOV files?

One file at a time for now. After downloading, click “Start over with another file” and drop the next one. Batch conversion is on the roadmap.
