MOV to MP4

MOV is the video format used by iPhones, Mac screen recordings and QuickTime. It plays well on Apple devices, but many Windows programs, Android phones, smart TVs and websites expect MP4. This free MOV to MP4 converter changes the container to MP4 in seconds.

Most MOV files already contain H.264 or HEVC video and AAC audio, which MP4 supports. In that case the tracks are copied into the new MP4 file without re-encoding, so the picture and sound stay exactly the same and the conversion takes only a moment.

How to convert MOV to MP4

1. Click Choose a file or drag your MOV video into the box.
2. Keep Quality: Keep original for a lossless conversion, or pick a quality and resolution to make the file smaller.
3. Click Convert, wait for the progress bar, then click Download to save your MP4.

Why use this MOV to MP4 converter

• Lossless when possible: compatible video and audio tracks are copied, not re-encoded.
• Converts uncompressed iPhone audio (PCM) to AAC automatically, because MP4 cannot store it.
• Optional quality and resolution settings (1080p, 720p, 480p...) to reduce the file size.
• Portrait videos stay portrait; rotation information from the phone is respected.
• Works in the browser on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone.

What is the difference between MOV and MP4?

MOV and MP4 are both containers: they hold the same kinds of video and audio. MOV was created by Apple for QuickTime, while MP4 is an international standard (MPEG-4 Part 14) supported by almost every device, browser and social network. Converting MOV to MP4 usually changes only the container, not the video itself.

Frequently asked questions

Will converting MOV to MP4 reduce the quality?

Not with "Keep original" selected. If the tracks are compatible they are copied exactly. Quality is only reduced if you choose a lower quality or resolution yourself, and the result page tells you what was done.

My iPhone video is HEVC. Will the MP4 play on Windows?

The HEVC video is copied into the MP4. Some older Windows PCs need the HEVC extension to play it. For maximum compatibility choose Quality: High, which converts the video to H.264.

How big can my MOV file be?

Up to 500 MB and 60 minutes per file.

Can I convert several MOV files?

Yes, convert them one after another. You can start a new file as soon as the previous one has finished.
