MOV is Apple's QuickTime format. It's widely used in video editing (Final Cut Pro, iMovie) but doesn't play on all devices. Converting to MP4 makes your video universal.

MOV is Apple's QuickTime container — the default video format for iPhone recordings, macOS screen captures, and video editing apps like Final Cut Pro and iMovie. It's excellent for editing but doesn't always play on non-Apple devices. Converting to MP4 (H.264 + AAC) makes your video universal.

The converter reads the MOV container. If the video codec is H.264 and audio is AAC (common), the streams are re-muxed into MP4 without re-encoding — lossless and fast. HEVC MOV files (from recent iPhones) are re-encoded to H.264 for maximum compatibility. Output is standard MP4.

H.264 MOV files re-mux to MP4 losslessly. HEVC MOV files (common on recent iPhones) are re-encoded to H.264 — quality is preserved at high bitrates with minimal file size growth.

• HEVC MOV files require re-encoding (slower).
• Some ProRes MOV files may not be supported.
• Multiple audio tracks are reduced to the first track.
• Timecode and edit metadata aren't preserved.
• DRM-protected MOV files can't be converted.

• Editable in Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, iMovie.
• Standard MP4 — no special software needed.

• H.264 MOV files re-mux losslessly to MP4 (fast).
• HEVC MOV files (iPhone 8+) re-encode to H.264.
• For ProRes MOV, use a dedicated ProRes converter.
• Keep the original MOV if you may need the edit metadata.
• For 4K MOV files, conversion may take several minutes.

Conversion is slow

HEVC MOV files require re-encoding. H.264 MOV files are re-muxed quickly. Try a lower resolution for faster conversion.

ProRes MOV fails to convert

ProRes is not supported. Use a dedicated ProRes-to-MP4 converter or Adobe Media Encoder.

Audio is out of sync

Some MOV files have unusual audio timing. Re-encode with QuickTime or VLC first, then convert.
