Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between VP8 and VP9?

VP9 is the successor to VP8, offering roughly 50% better compression at the same quality. VP8 was released in 2008, VP9 in 2013. Both are open-source and royalty-free. VP9 is now the default for most WebM content.

Should I still support VP8?

VP8 support is only needed for very old browsers (pre-2013) or embedded devices with limited codec support. For modern web development, VP9 or AV1 are recommended. This file helps test backward compatibility.
