About WebM and WAV
WebM Video
Open video format optimised for the web using VP8/VP9. Ideal for HTML5 video.
WAV Audio
Uncompressed lossless audio. Preferred for professional editing and archiving.
How it works
-
1Drop your file
Drag & drop a WebM file onto the converter, or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded.
-
2Engine loads once, converts instantly
On first use, the conversion engine downloads and caches in your browser. When WebCodecs is available the browser uses hardware acceleration; otherwise it falls back to ffmpeg WebAssembly.

3Download the result
The converted WAV file is ready to download directly to your device.

Why privacy matters for file conversion
Most online converters upload your files to remote servers where they may be scanned, stored, or shared. This tool is different — the conversion runs in your browser via WebAssembly or the WebCodecs API. Your files stay on your device. Always.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, completely free with no file limits. The conversion engine runs directly in your browser — we have zero server costs for processing, so we can offer it at no charge.
Your file never leaves your device. The conversion engine runs 100% in your browser using WebAssembly or the WebCodecs API. We have no access to your files — no uploads, no logs, no data collection whatsoever.
On desktop browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) files up to 500 MB convert reliably. On Safari (macOS) the practical limit is around 200 MB. On iPhone and iPad, keep files under 50 MB — iOS enforces tight memory limits for browser-based processing.
On your first visit, the browser downloads the conversion engine (24–50 MB depending on which backend is used). This is cached locally, so subsequent conversions load much faster.
Chrome, Edge, and Brave use hardware-accelerated WebCodecs when the format is supported — this is 5–10× faster than software encoding. For unsupported formats the tool falls back to ffmpeg.wasm, where Firefox typically performs best.
