WebM Audio File (.weba)
The WEBA file extension, short for WebM Audio File, is an audio-only segment of the WebM format, developed by Google for efficient web-based audio streaming and storage. It uses the Opus or Vorbis audio codecs for compression and is typically encountered when downloading audio from the internet. The format originated from the WebM project announced in 2010, aiming to provide an open, royalty-free alternative to proprietary audio formats.
