Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?+
No. Conversion happens entirely inside your browser and your file is never sent anywhere — personal videos stay private.
It finished in seconds — did it actually work?+
Yes, that's expected. MOV and MP4 mostly carry the same video data inside, so conversion is often just repackaging. Quality stays identical.
Are subtitles and extra audio tracks kept?+
Tracks the MP4 spec supports are kept; exotic subtitle formats inside MOV may be dropped.
My iPhone video plays audio but no picture on Windows. Why?+
That is the usual symptom of a MOV recorded in HEVC (H.265). Simply swapping the container would leave the problem in place, so those files are re-encoded to H.264 — after converting they play in Windows' default player.
Is there a file size limit?+
No server limits, but processing uses browser memory, so it's optimized for short clips (tens to a few hundred MB). Files over 300MB show a warning.
Is it really free?+
Yes. No sign-up, no payment, no conversion limits and no watermark.
Can I pick a different output format?+
Yes — on the converter you can switch the output between MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI and GIF.
Guide
Why convert MOV to MP4?
MP4 is the de-facto standard — it plays on Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, TVs and in every messenger and website. When a MOV file won't open, won't upload, or your editor can't read it, converting to MP4 fixes it in most cases.
It's the classic "plays for me, not for them" fix — the conversion you need most when sharing MOV files across different devices.
Where do MOV files come from?
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container. Video shot on an iPhone or iPad, and anything exported from iMovie or Final Cut on a Mac, is usually a MOV. Setting the iPhone camera to 'Most Compatible' instead of 'High Efficiency' also records MOV.
The trouble starts outside Apple's ecosystem. Windows' default player and Android's gallery often can't read the codec inside a MOV, and plenty of web upload forms reject the extension outright. The file is fine — it just refuses to open on the receiving end.
What happens to quality and size?
When the video data inside your MOV is compatible with MP4 (most cases), the tool just moves it into the new container without re-encoding — zero quality loss, near-identical size, seconds of work.
Only incompatible files fall back to a high-quality H.264 re-encode, and even then the difference is hard to spot in normal viewing.
