WebM is Google's open, royalty-free web video standard - no coincidence it is the output of many browser tools, including this very site's own screen- and webcam-recording tools. WebM is ideal for playback in a browser; for importing into video editors, sending via messenger apps, or playback on older devices, MP4 is often explicitly expected instead.
To be honest: unlike a MOV or MKV source, this conversion is almost never a plain repackage. WebM's codecs (VP8, VP9 or AV1 for picture, Opus or Vorbis for sound) never fit MP4's lossless copy set - the tool therefore practically always re-encodes the file via your browser's native hardware video encoder (WebCodecs).
Because your browser uses its own, usually hardware-accelerated encoder for this, the re-encode is still noticeably faster than a pure software encode - just not as instant as a repackage. Everything runs locally in the browser, with your video never uploaded.

Limitations: Since WebM's codecs never fit MP4's lossless copy set, this is practically always a real re-encode with minimal but measurable quality loss and unchanged resolution (for a different resolution/quality, use the sibling tool "Compress video"). One file per run, ~1 GB limit (4 GB/tab in the browser).
FAQ
Is my video uploaded?
No, the entire conversion happens locally in your browser.
Why does this take longer than MOV or MKV?
Because WebM's codecs (VP8/VP9/AV1) never fit MP4, a real re-encode is always needed, not a quick repackage.
Does my video lose quality?
Minimally, as with any re-encode - the chosen resolution stays unchanged, though.
Where do WebM files usually come from?
From web downloads, screen recordings (e.g. the sibling "Screen recorder" tool) or browser-native recording tools.
