About WebM
Google released WebM in 2010 as an open, royalty free format for the web. It's built on Matroska, and it's what browsers, screen recorders and many video downloaders save.
A WebM holds VP8, VP9 or AV1 video with Opus or Vorbis sound. VP9 and AV1 keep files small, which is why video sites stream them.
Chrome, Edge and Firefox play WebM, and so does Safari, on iPhone and iPad from iOS 17.4. Filepeek adds the details and frame by frame steps, and Export saves an MP4 for the apps and phones that won't take WebM.

Questions
How do I turn a WebM into an MP4?
Open it, choose Export, then Save as MP4. The MP4 holds H.264 and AAC, which every phone and app plays.
Why won't WebM play on my iPhone?
Safari on iPhone and iPad plays WebM only from iOS 17.4 on, and many apps don't take it at all. Save it here as an MP4, and it plays everywhere.
Can I trim a screen recording?
Yes. In the export sheet, drag the handles on the frame strip to the part you want to keep, then save it as MP4 or MOV.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Filepeek plays and converts it inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
