Format description
MP4 (short for MPEG-4 Part 14) files store multimedia - video, audio and subtitles. Websites frequently use them for displaying videos because the MP4 format is universally supported. However, newer video formats, such as WebM, produce smaller file sizes with almost no quality loss. Therefore, you can free up storage by converting your videos to WebM.
