Frequently Asked Questions

Will Safari play WebM?
Safari 16+ on macOS and iOS plays VP9 WebM. For older Safari support, use MP4 instead — see <a href="/anim/gif-to-mp4/">GIF to MP4</a>.
Why does encoding take a while?
VP9 is computationally heavier than H.264. Worth it for size: WebM is often 30–50% smaller than MP4 at the same quality.
