Free MP4 to WEBM Converter: No Sign-up, Files Never Uploaded
Convert MP4 to WEBM free, right in your browser. There is no sign-up or login, no watermark, and nothing is uploaded: your videos never leave your device.
The video and audio tracks are read, decoded and encoded again for the WEBM container, which takes real work from your processor. WEBM uses lossy compression, so each save trades some detail for a smaller file.
This pair runs on code that is already in the page, so there is no extra engine to download.

MP4 vs WEBM
MP4 uses lossy compression; WEBM uses lossy compression.
MP4 does not support transparency, and WEBM does.
MP4 files use the .mp4 extension and WebM files use .webm, so the converted file gets a new name with the new extension.
Privacy: how it works
- Your MP4 files stay on your device. The page reads each file with the browser's file API, converts it with code running in the tab, and hands the result back as a download. No upload happens, so there is no copy of your file on our servers to protect, delete or leak.
- There is nothing to sign up for and no login. The converter does not ask for an email address, and it does not need to know who you are to do its job.
- You can check the claim yourself: open your browser developer tools, watch the Network tab while a file converts, and you will see no request that carries your file.
Tips
- Try a short clip first to check quality and size before you convert a long video.
- Keep the original resolution unless you need a smaller file; shrinking the frame is the quickest way to cut size.
- Close other heavy tabs while converting, because the work uses your own memory and processor.
- Convert one large file at a time on a phone or a low-memory computer.
- WEBM uses lossy compression, so each save trades some detail for a smaller file.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no price, no trial, no credit card and no watermark added to your results. Ulkaa Tool does the conversion with your own device, so there is no server bill to pass on to you.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Your MP4 files are read and converted inside your browser and are never sent to Ulkaa or to anyone else. The result is created on your device and you save it from there.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Open the page, add your files and convert. An Ulkaa account is not needed for anything on this tool.
Is there a file size limit?
No limit is set by us. The real limit is your device: the conversion uses your own memory and processor, so very large files can be slow or fail on a weak phone or an older computer. Close other heavy tabs and convert MP4 files one at a time if a big batch struggles.
What is the difference between MP4 and WEBM?
MP4 uses lossy compression; WEBM uses lossy compression. MP4 does not support transparency, and WEBM does. MP4 files use the .mp4 extension and WebM files use .webm, so the converted file gets a new name with the new extension.

Yes. Add as many files as your device can handle. Each one is converted on its own and you can download them one by one or as a single ZIP.
Will anything be lost when I convert MP4 to WEBM?
WEBM uses lossy compression, so each save trades some detail for a smaller file.
Can I convert WEBM back to MP4?
Yes. Open the WEBM to MP4 page and use the same steps. Converting back does not undo any loss from the first conversion.
