Lower is sharper and larger. 32 is a reasonable web default.
How to use this tool
Select the MP4 and choose a CRF value. Lower values usually preserve more detail at a larger size; compare a short sample in the actual destination player before committing to a long encode.
Results and examples
Play the WebM and check picture detail, sound and synchronization. Output size depends on motion and duration, and a service that accepts only MP4 may require a different delivery format.
Worked example
Convert a product MP4 at CRF 32 to create a WebM using VP9 video and Opus audio. Compare the same ten-second scene at CRF 24 and 40 to inspect detail and file-size trade-offs.
Limitations
- This re-encodes rather than copies streams, requiring processing time and potentially losing generation quality.
- An application that requires MP4 may not accept the WebM output.
