About this tool
Convert Apple QuickTime MOV files to universal MP4 format. Ensure your videos play on Windows, Android, and web browsers.
File size: MP4 output is typically similar in size to the source MOV: both often use H.264 compression internally.
Quality: MOV and MP4 frequently share the same codecs (H.264/AAC). This conversion re-wraps the streams with minimal quality impact.

FAQ
Will there be any quality loss?
Minimal to none. MOV and MP4 often use the same underlying H.264 codec: this conversion primarily changes the container format. The video and audio streams are re-wrapped, not re-encoded.
Can I convert iPhone videos this way?
Yes. iPhone videos recorded in the Videos app are stored as MOV files and convert cleanly to MP4.
Why can't Windows play MOV files?
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container format. Windows Media Player doesn't support it natively, and Apple no longer maintains QuickTime for Windows. MP4 is the universal alternative.
Will the resolution and frame rate be preserved?
Yes. Resolution (1080p, 4K) and frame rate (24fps, 30fps, 60fps) are fully preserved in the MP4 output.
