WEBM — WebM is an open video container designed for the web. It uses VP8/VP9 and Opus codecs, offering small files and efficient streaming.
AAC — AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a lossy audio codec that is more efficient than MP3 at the same bitrate. It is the standard for MP4 video and modern devices.

What happens when converting WEBM to AAC?
The WEBM data is decoded inside your browser with WebAssembly and re-encoded to the AAC specification, so no file is ever uploaded to a server. AAC uses lossy compression: the file gets far lighter, but a small amount of fine detail is discarded in the process. WEBM supports animation while AAC does not, so only the first frame is kept. Audio is re-encoded with the AAC codec while keeping the original duration, so audio and video stay in sync.
