Frequently asked questions

Is this TS to WEBM converter free?+

Yes, with no watermark and no account. The engine runs locally in your browser, so there's no server queue limiting usage.

Is my video uploaded to a server?+

No. Orbfile uses your browser's own built-in media codecs (via the WebCodecs API and Mediabunny), so encoding happens entirely on your device.

How long will it take?+

It depends on your device and the video's length and resolution — expect roughly real-time to a few times real-time for typical clips.

Is there a maximum file size?+

There's no fixed upload limit — since everything runs on your device, the practical limit is your browser's available memory, which handles typical clips and even fairly long recordings without issue.

How do I convert TS to WEBM?+

Drop your TS file into the box above — Orbfile re-encodes it to WEBM using your browser's own codecs and gives you a download link when it's done.

About TS and WEBM

What is TS?

TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is a broadcast- and camera-oriented format designed to stay resilient during streaming or recording interruptions.

What is WEBM?

WEBM is an open, royalty-free video format built for the web, typically using the VP9 codec for strong compression at small sizes.

People usually reach for this conversion because WEBM offers excellent compression for web delivery, sidestepping a real TS weak spot: less convenient for editing or sharing than MP4. It's especially useful for embedding video on websites.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop your file in

    Drag your video onto the box above, or click it to browse — there's no account to create and no upload to wait on.

  2. 2

    Pick your settings

    The output format is already set for this page — just adjust any extra options shown, if there are any.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Your browser processes everything locally and hands you a download link the moment it's done — nothing was ever sent to a server.

Is it private?

Everything happens locally, inside this browser tab. Your video is read from disk, processed with WebAssembly running on your own device, and handed back to you as a download — it's never transmitted anywhere, so there's nothing to intercept and nothing stored on a server.

Common use cases

  • Embedding video on websites
  • Keeping page load times low
  • Uploading a clip to social media
  • Sending a video over email or chat

Format details

About TS files+

TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is a broadcast- and camera-oriented format designed to stay resilient during streaming or recording interruptions.

MPEG Transport Stream was designed for broadcast television, where a signal might briefly drop out or arrive slightly out of order, so the format includes built-in error correction and the ability to resynchronize mid-stream rather than failing outright. That resilience is also why many camcorders and broadcast capture cards record directly to .ts files, even though the format is less convenient than MP4 for editing or casual sharing once the footage is off the device.

How to open a TS file

Opens readily in VLC Media Player. For real editing, use DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro.

Good for

  • resilient to data loss mid-stream
  • common output from camcorders and broadcast equipment

Watch out for

  • less convenient for editing or sharing than MP4

About WEBM files+

WEBM is an open, royalty-free video format built for the web, typically using the VP9 codec for strong compression at small sizes.

Google introduced WebM alongside WebP as a royalty-free alternative built specifically for the browser, most commonly pairing the VP9 (or newer AV1) video codec with Opus audio in a lightweight container. That combination tends to compress noticeably better than the more universally-compatible H.264/MP4 pairing, which is why WebM shows up heavily in web video embeds and platforms like YouTube use it internally, even when they serve MP4 for broader device compatibility.

How to open a WEBM file

Opens readily in Chrome, Firefox, Edge (native), VLC Media Player. For real editing, use DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro (with an extension).

Good for

  • excellent compression for web delivery
  • royalty-free, no licensing overhead

Watch out for

  • less commonly used than MP4 outside web contexts
