About MOV
MOV
MOV is a QuickTime multimedia container format developed by Apple. Like MP4 it is based on the ISO base media file format and can hold multiple video, audio and text tracks. MOV is heavily used in professional video editing pipelines and on Apple devices, and is fully supported by macOS, iOS, and most modern media players.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a MOV file?▼
MOV is Apple's QuickTime video format, the default for iPhone video recordings and many Mac workflows. Quality is excellent, but files are large and not all Windows apps play them.
Why convert MOV to MP4?▼
MP4 plays on virtually every device and platform, while MOV support outside Apple is patchy. Converting gives you the same video in a format everyone can open.
Does converting iPhone MOV to MP4 lose quality?▼
With matching codec and bitrate settings, the loss is negligible — in many cases the streams can be remuxed without re-encoding, preserving quality completely.
MOV vs MP4 — what is the difference?▼
Both can hold the same H.264 or HEVC video. MOV is Apple-native, MP4 is the cross-platform standard. Quality is equivalent; compatibility favours MP4.
Are my iPhone videos uploaded during conversion?▼
No — everything converts locally in your browser. Personal videos stay on your device the whole time.
