How to convert WebM to M4V

  1. Add your WebM videos

    Drop WebM files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. M4V is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab and can take a while for large files.

  3. Download

    Save the M4V, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

WebM to M4V: what to expect

WebM does not play on many phones, TVs or in most video editors. M4V is recognised by Apple devices and by iTunes as video. WebM is at home in royalty-free video on websites; M4V is the usual choice for videos for Apple devices and iTunes.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can lower the resolution, trade quality against file size, remove the sound and trim the start and end. This is demanding work for a browser: a long or high-resolution file can take several minutes, and your device does all of it, so keep the tab open.

The conversion uses your browser's own video and audio codecs (WebCodecs), with hardware acceleration where the device has it; the file is read from disk as it goes and can be up to 2 GB. Where the browser lacks a codec, the page falls back to the compatibility engine. A video over 500 MB cannot be kept at full quality in browser memory; choosing a lower resolution or quality under Options lets it fit.

WebM vs M4V

WEBM

WebM video

WebM is an open, royalty-free video format built for the web. It is a restricted form of Matroska holding VP8, VP9 or AV1 video. Browsers play it; iPhones, TVs and video editors often do not.

Opens in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and recent Safari; few TVs and editors

M4V

M4V video

M4V is Apple's name for an MP4 file, used for movies and TV shows sold through iTunes and for video prepared for iPod, iPhone and Apple TV. Files from the iTunes Store can be copy-protected, which only Apple's software plays. Unprotected M4V files are MP4 files and open nearly everywhere.

Opens in iPhone, Mac, Apple TV, QuickTime and VLC; most players accept it as MP4

Questions

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. The WebM to M4V conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting WebM to M4V reduce quality?

It depends on what is inside the WebM. When its video and audio are already in a form M4V can hold, they can be carried over without being compressed again. Otherwise they are re-encoded, which costs a little quality. Under Options you can favour quality or a smaller file.

Can I convert several WebM files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert WebM to M4V on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the WebM file, press Convert and save the M4V. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files up to 2 GB are accepted, and a video over 500 MB needs a lower resolution or quality chosen under Options so the result fits in memory. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
