WebM Video Editor & Converter

WebM is an open, royalty-free video format built for the web, using VP8, VP9, or AV1 video codecs. It delivers excellent compression and is the native format for many screen recorders, browser-based recording tools, and Linux capture utilities. FastEdit lets you trim, crop, convert, and re-encode WebM files entirely in your browser.

Whether you need to convert a WebM screen recording to MP4 for a colleague on a Mac, or extract a clip as an animated WebP, FastEdit handles it without any server processing.
