What changes in this conversion

  • WEBM is a newer format — check that the software or device you are sending it to supports it before switching.
  • Both MPG and WEBM are lossy, so re-encoding discards a little more picture detail on top of what was already lost. Converting once is fine; repeating it many times is not.
  • The picture and sound are re-encoded to H.264 video with AAC audio inside the WEBM container, which is what makes the result play on the widest range of devices.

How to use

  1. Add your MPG file

    Drag the MPG file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.

  2. Confirm WEBM as the output

    WEBM is already selected as the output format on this page. You can pick the resolution. Encoding is the slowest part, so smaller resolutions finish sooner.

  3. Run the conversion

    Press the convert button. Video is re-encoded frame by frame on your own machine, so a long clip can take several minutes. The tab has to stay open.

  4. Download the WEBM file

    When it finishes, download the WEBM file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting MPG to WEBM really free?

Yes. MPG to WEBM conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.

Are my MPG files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the MPG file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.

Will the WEBM file open everywhere?

WEBM is a newer format. Current browsers and phones handle it, but older desktop software may not — keep the original MPG if you have to send it to someone on an old machine.

Is there a file size limit for MPG to WEBM conversion?

The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
