Compress MOV

iPhone videos and Mac screen recordings are saved as MOV and can quickly reach hundreds of megabytes. This tool compresses MOV files so they are easier to share and store, and keeps them in MOV format for QuickTime, iMovie and Photos.

How to compress a MOV file

1. Choose the MOV video from your iPhone or computer.
2. Select a compression level and, optionally, a smaller resolution.
3. Click Convert and download the smaller MOV.

MOV compressor features

• Keeps the MOV format, so the file still opens in Apple apps.
• Great for Mac screen recordings, which often compress very well.
• Resolution presets from 4K down to 240p.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my iPhone video not getting much smaller?

Newer iPhones record in HEVC (High Efficiency), which is already very efficient. Choose Strong compression or a lower resolution such as 720p for a clearly smaller file.

Will the compressed MOV still play on my iPhone?

Yes, the result uses H.264 video and AAC audio, which every iPhone plays.

Should I convert to MP4 instead?

If you want to share the video with Android or Windows users, use Compress Video and then MOV to MP4, or simply MOV to MP4 with a lower quality.

Is my video kept private?

Yes. It is deleted automatically 60 minutes after processing.
