How to use WebM to MP4
WebM often contains VP8/VP9 and Opus, which generally need target-compatible re-encoding for MP4. Alpha WebM loses transparency in ordinary MP4.
- Choose the file and wait for basic media metadata.

Frequently asked questions
Why is transparency gone?
Common MP4 output does not retain WebM alpha; choose a compositing background.
Can it change only the container?
Common WebM codecs are often incompatible with the target MP4 player, so re-encoding is usually required.
Is WebM uploaded?
Media is read and transcoded in this browser tab and is not uploaded to FreeTool to perform the task.
