How to convert Video for the Web

  2. Tune the settingsPick WebM, MP4 or GIF — hover another format and press + to render several at once. Set quality, frame rate and scale. Leave Transparency on to keep any alpha channel.
  3. Convert and downloadClick Convert. Each finished web-ready WebM, MP4 or GIF file gets its own download button, or grab everything with Download all.

The web video checklist

Encode at the size the video is displayed, not the size it was shot. Cap frame rate at 30 unless motion demands more. Strip audio from decorative clips.

Serve WebM first and MP4 second in your video tag, add the playsinline attribute for iOS, and set a poster image for instant visual feedback.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best video format for websites?

WebM (VP9) for size, with an MP4 (H.264) fallback for compatibility.

Should I use GIF on my website?

Only where video is not possible. A muted looping video is far lighter.

Can I get all three formats at once?

Yes — add each format with + and every file is rendered in all of them.
