Convert OGV to WebM

If you have an old OGV file lying around — from an ancient Ogg Theora export or an early open-source video archive — WebM is the natural modern replacement: same royalty-free spirit, but with codecs (VP9 video, Opus audio) that every current browser and most video tools actually support well.
This converter decodes the OGV locally and re-encodes it into WebM inside your own browser tab. No file ever travels to a server, so it works even on sensitive footage you would rather not upload anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Why convert OGV to WebM instead of MP4?
Both work, but WebM keeps you in royalty-free codec territory (like the original OGV) while gaining much better browser and web-player support than Theora ever had. If you specifically need maximum compatibility with editing software, MP4 might suit you better.
Does this upload my video anywhere?
No — decoding and encoding both happen on your device using WebCodecs and a small WebAssembly helper. There is no server involved at any point in the process.
Are there size or browser limits?
Files up to 300MB on desktop or 100MB on mobile, and up to 30 minutes long on desktop (10 on mobile) since this tool re-encodes video. You will need an up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari for the WebCodecs-based encode step.
