Frequently asked questions

Why convert MOV to MP4?

MOV is Apple QuickTime format and does not play on many Windows PCs or Android devices. MP4 is universally supported. Convert MOV to MP4 for compatibility with all devices and video editors.

Will I lose quality converting MOV to MP4?

Not much. This tool re-encodes the video with H.264, which is efficient. Choose "High" quality to minimize visible loss, or "Balanced" for smaller files with little difference.

Can I choose the resolution?

Yes. Pick Original to keep the video size, or select 1080p, 720p, 480p, or 360p to reduce file size. Lower resolution means faster conversion and smaller files.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your MOV video never leaves your device.

Why is it slow?

Browser video encoding uses a single CPU thread and is several times slower than desktop apps. A 1 minute 1080p clip can take a few minutes. Lower resolution or pick "Small file" quality to speed it up.
