MP4 to WEBM

Transcode MP4 to WebM (VP8 + Opus when an audio track is present; resolution/fps capped for ffmpeg.wasm memory) locally with ffmpeg.wasm.

How it works

  • Convert MP4 (H.264 + AAC) to WebM (VP8 + Opus) in the browser; high-resolution sources use a stricter scale cap so short HD clips are less likely to hit wasm memory limits.

FAQ

Are my files uploaded to your servers?
No. By default, Awesome Tools processes files entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers for conversion.
Why is it slow the first time?
ffmpeg WebAssembly is downloaded on demand. Subsequent runs may be faster due to caching.
Why does conversion fail with “memory access out of bounds” or similar?
That error is usually wasm running out of heap, not a “length bug”: the browser still decodes your MP4 at full resolution before scaling, and VP9 plus Opus together can exceed limits even for a 1s 1080p clip. This tool uses VP8 + Opus and tightens the scale target on high-resolution sources; very heavy files may still need desktop ffmpeg.
Why did my conversion fail?
Large files, unusual codecs, or browser memory limits can cause failures. Try a smaller file or a different browser. See the limits on this page.
