How It Works

Conversion Mechanics

WebM is the format many self-hosted video setups and privacy-conscious sites default to, since it's built on royalty-free codecs and tends to produce smaller files than MP4 at similar quality. Converting your MP4 library to WebM is a common step when moving away from a third-party video embed toward hosting video yourself.

Why It's Private

Runs Entirely In Your Browser: Files are decoded and re-encoded strictly in local memory.
No Network Requests: The converter makes no calls to any server. Check your browser's DevTools Network tab to confirm.
Nothing to Sign Up For: No account, no upload, and no server-side storage of your files.
Runs On Your Hardware: Processing uses your own device's CPU via Web Workers, not a remote server.
