About WebM
WebM is an open, royalty-free video format developed by Google and based on the Matroska container. It holds VP8, VP9 or AV1 video with Vorbis or Opus audio.
It is made for the web: all major browsers play it in the HTML video element, and it is common for screen recordings and short clips.
WebM allows only its own small set of codecs, so H.264 video or AAC audio has to be re-encoded to fit.
Convert WebM to MPEG online free, no account required — MPEG is the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video format behind Video CD and DVD.
Change WebM to MPEG without losing quality — convert WebM to MPEG free in your browser.
Why can't I upload my WebM video to Instagram or TikTok? Social apps almost always demand MP4, so a WebM made for the web needs converting before it will upload.
About MPEG
MPEG files (.mpg, .mpeg) are MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 program streams, the standards behind Video CD and DVD video.
Older camcorders, DVD-era video files and broadcast archives.
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 compress far less efficiently than H.264, so the files are large for their quality.
Why convert video to MPEG-2? DVDs and some broadcast hardware only accept it, so disc authoring still requires it.
What changes when you convert WebM to MPEG
- The WebM is re-encoded into MPEG at the default quality settings, so the result looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
Settings you can change
Before you convert WebM to MPEG, you can adjust: Video codec, Rate control, Quality (CRF), Video bitrate, Resolution, Width, Height, Scale fit, Frame rate, Encoder preset, Audio codec, Audio bitrate, Trim start, Trim duration, and Remove metadata.
Limits
Each plan sets a maximum file size and a number of conversions per day, and video and audio files also have a maximum length. Guests can convert files up to 100 megabytes and 5 per day; a free account raises this to 500 megabytes and 25 per day; paid plans go up to 100 gigabytes.
Your converted MPEG file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
