Save happens automatically: the WebM downloads as soon as it is finished.
WebM is the video format designed for the open web. Built on royalty-free codecs, it delivers good quality at small file sizes and plays natively in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and modern Safari, making it a strong choice for videos embedded directly in web pages. This tool converts MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and other formats to WebM using the VP8 video codec with Opus audio.
Web developers reach for WebM when adding background videos, product demos, or short loops to a site, since lighter files mean faster page loads. It is also a sensible pick for publishing on platforms that favor open formats, or simply for shrinking a clip without giving up much visual quality.

Video is encoded with VP8 and audio with Opus, both royalty-free and open. That means anyone can play or serve the files without licensing fees, which is a core reason WebM became popular on the web.
Pick WebM when the destination is a web page and you care about small file sizes with open codecs. Pick MP4 when the video must play on the widest possible range of devices, including older TVs and mobile apps.
All major desktop browsers support it, and recent versions of Safari on Mac and iPhone do as well. Older Apple devices and some smart TVs may still struggle, so sites often serve an MP4 fallback alongside WebM.
