Host a WebM video and share a link
Upload a WebM and get an address that plays it in the browser — the open format built for the web, and smaller than MP4 at the same quality.

Any other file works too — up to 25.0 MB, or 100.0 MB for a whole site
Free to use. Your WEBM file is live at your-name.99helpers.site in about ten seconds.
What is a .webm file?
WebM is an open, royalty-free video format Google released in 2010, built specifically for the web. It pairs VP8 or VP9 video with Vorbis or Opus audio, and typically produces smaller files than H.264 MP4 at comparable quality.
What people use WEBM files for
- Screen recordings, which WebM compresses very efficiently
- Background and hero video on web pages
- Short clips embedded in documentation
- Video where file size matters more than universal compatibility
What opens a WEBM file
- Chrome, Firefox and Edge natively; Safari since version 14.1
- VLC, which plays it anywhere
- OBS and most screen recorders, as an export option
- FFmpeg, for converting to and from it
How to host a WEBM file
- 1
Drop your WEBM file in
Drag it onto the box at the top of this page, or click to choose it. Files up to 25 MB are supported, and nothing is uploaded until you publish.
- 2
Pick an address
Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: screen-capture.99helpers.site
- 3
Publish and share
Create a free account — that step exists so the file is yours to update, replace or delete — and the link is live within seconds.
The same three steps work for any file — see how file hosting works on 99helpers.com.
What happens when someone opens the link
The video plays in the browser's own player, with scrubbing supported. Support is near-universal in current browsers, though very old software may not handle it.
Why host a WEBM file instead of emailing it?
WebM exists to make web video smaller, and hosting it delivers that benefit without touching your own build or paying for a video platform. For a screen recording it's often half the size of the equivalent MP4.
Worth knowing before you publish
- MP4 is the safer choice if the audience might be on older devices or software; WebM is the smaller one.
- VP9 compresses better than VP8 but takes noticeably longer to encode.
- For a short animated demo, WebM is dramatically smaller than the equivalent GIF and looks far better.
WEBM hosting questions
- Do all browsers play WebM?
- Every current browser does, including Safari since 2021. Only genuinely old software is a problem, and hosting an MP4 alongside covers that case.
- Is WebM better than MP4?
- Smaller at equivalent quality, and royalty-free. MP4 has broader support on older hardware and in editing software. For web playback today, either works.
- How long a video can I host?
- It's a 25 MB size limit rather than a time limit. WebM's efficiency means that stretches further than it would with MP4 — several minutes of screen recording at 720p.
