Convert MOV to MP4
Turn QuickTime and iPhone recordings into MP4 files that play on Windows, Android, smart TVs and every editor. When the video inside is already H.264 it is copied across untouched — no quality lost, and seconds rather than minutes.

How it works
Add your MOV
Drop the file. You are shown its length, size, picture size and which codecs are inside.
Keep or convert
H.264 video is copied as it is. HEVC — what newer iPhones record — is converted to H.264 so that older players and editors can open it.
Download the MP4
Same picture, same sound, in the container everything understands.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting lose quality?
Not when the video is copied: MOV and MP4 are two wrappers around the same kinds of video, so an H.264 MOV becomes an H.264 MP4 with the picture bytes untouched. Only HEVC and ProRes files have to be re-encoded, and those are done at high quality.
Why will my iPhone MOV not play on Windows?
Two reasons. Either it is a QuickTime wrapper Windows Media Player never learned, or it is HEVC, which older Windows versions cannot decode without a paid codec. This converter fixes the first by rewrapping and the second by converting to H.264.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device. A 4 GB holiday video never travels anywhere, which is also why this is so much faster than an upload-and-wait site.
Will the rotation be right?
Yes. A clip filmed upright carries a rotation flag, and that flag is carried into the MP4, so it plays the right way up. If a player still shows it sideways, use Rotate Video and bake the turn into the picture.
What about ProRes files from Final Cut?
ProRes is enormous and no browser can encode it, so the video is converted to high-quality H.264. The result is a fraction of the size and plays everywhere — but for further colour grading, keep your ProRes master.
Can I convert several clips at once?
One file at a time here, so the settings stay clear. To put several clips end to end in one MP4, use Merge Video.
Good to know: Multiple sound tracks and subtitle tracks are not carried over: the main video and sound track are kept, and you are told when something was left behind. Timecode and camera metadata tracks are dropped.
