Why Reduce WebM File Size
WebM is designed for web use, but high-quality WebM files can still be large. Reducing WebM file size improves page load times, reduces bandwidth costs, and provides better user experience. Our compressor uses VP8/VP9 encoding to reduce WebM file size while maintaining web compatibility.
How to Reduce WebM File Size
Upload your WebM file, select the 'WebM' output format in Manual mode, choose a compression preset, and click compress. The tool will re-encode the video with more efficient settings to reduce file size.
WebM vs MP4 for Web
Both WebM and MP4 are suitable for web use. WebM offers better compression for some content types, while MP4 has broader browser support. Our compressor supports both formats — choose WebM for web optimization or MP4 for maximum compatibility.
Optimizing WebM for Websites
For websites, use 720p or 1080p resolution with the 'Best Balance' preset. This provides good quality while keeping file sizes small for fast loading. Consider offering both WebM and MP4 versions for maximum browser compatibility using the HTML5 video element's source tags.
