HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no account, nothing to install.
01
Upload your MOV files
Drag in .mov videos from an iPhone, a Mac, a camera or an editing export.
02
Convert to WebM
Start the conversion. H.264, HEVC and ProRes are encoded to VP9, and sound becomes Opus.
03
Download the WebM
Download each WebM, or several together as one ZIP.
MOV
MOV is Apple's QuickTime video format, the default for iPhone recordings and a staple of Mac video editing.
WEBM
WebM is Google's open web video format with VP8, VP9 or AV1 video and Opus or Vorbis sound.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
Apple introduced QuickTime in 1991, and MOV is still what iPhones, Macs and many cameras record. It usually holds H.264 or HEVC, or ProRes for editing, with AAC or PCM sound. MOV and MP4 share the same structure, but some Windows apps, Android devices and websites handle MOV less reliably.
TARGET
Google launched WebM in 2010 as a royalty-free format for HTML5 video. It is a restricted form of Matroska that only allows VP8, VP9 or AV1 video and Vorbis or Opus audio. Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Android play it, screen recorders and browser tools often save it, and older devices may not.
| Feature | MOV | WEBM |
|---|---|---|
| Developed by | Apple | |
| File extension | .mov | .webm |
| Usual video codec | H.264, HEVC, ProRes | VP8, VP9, AV1 |
| Usual audio codec | AAC, PCM | Opus, Vorbis |
| Subtitles | Text only | WebVTT text |
| Best for | iPhone video and Mac editing | Web video and screen recordings |
| Plays on phones and browsers | Apple devices; most editors | Browsers and Android |
USE CASES
When a MOV needs to play natively on the web.
Add a website background video
Turn a MOV clip into a lightweight WebM for a hero section or landing page.
Upload product demos to a web app
Web apps often prefer royalty-free WebM over MOV.
Post screen recordings to documentation
Mac screen recordings become WebM for help centers and docs.
Share ProRes exports online
ProRes MOVs are huge. WebM makes them small enough for the web.
Prepare video for Wikimedia Commons
Commons accepts WebM uploads but not MOV.
Use clips in browser games
HTML5 games and Electron apps commonly use WebM.
Keep captions for a web player
MOV text subtitles become WebVTT tracks.
Send a Discord-friendly clip
Discord plays WebM inline.
Shrink a 4K iPhone clip for the web
4K is scaled to 1920 px for faster loading.
Publish video in an open, royalty-free format
WebM uses only royalty-free codecs.
SUPPORTED FILES
MOV files from Apple devices, cameras and editors are supported.
Phone recordings are encoded to VP9 at up to 1920 px.
Final Cut and Premiere ProRes MOVs are encoded to VP9.
When each microphone is its own mono track, tracks 1 and 2 become one stereo track.
Copied without re-encoding.
Upload several MOVs and download the WebMs as a ZIP.
TROUBLESHOOTING
These explain most of the surprises.
01
Pictures larger than 1920 px on the longest side are scaled down for web playback.
02
VP9 web output is SDR, so HDR iPhone footage looks less vivid than on the phone.
03
Camera MOVs with many mono mic tracks keep tracks 1 and 2 as stereo; further mic tracks are dropped.
04
VP9 encoding takes longer than copying, especially for 4K and ProRes sources.
05
Older iOS versions have limited WebM support. Use MP4 for those devices.
06
Check that the MOV plays on its source device. A damaged file can't be converted fully.
