SWF
SWF contains videos and vector-based animations. Unfortunately, you cannot upload SWF files on social media and YouTube. It is also not compatible with the most popular media players. But it is great for encoding browser-based games and animations.
SWF or Small Web Format files can be opened on Adobe Flash Player. However, since 2020, Adobe no longer supports the SWF file format due to security issues and recommends users to uninstall or convert SWF files to other video formats such as MP4.
WebM
WebM is used for streaming high-quality videos on the web. You can upload WebM videos to Facebook and YouTube, but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. It is compatible with media players like VLC and Windows Media Player. You cannot play WebM files on QuickTime Media Player.
Content stored as WebM files features instant playback times. It requires a compatible browser to be played, like Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
