Convert MOV to MP4
MOV is Apple's QuickTime format — it's what iPhones and Macs record — but plenty of Windows apps, editors, websites and upload forms prefer MP4. Converting MOV to MP4 gives you the same video in a near-universally-accepted container that plays almost everywhere. The conversion happens locally in your browser with FFmpeg, so the video never leaves your device.
Drop your MOV below and pick MP4 as the output format.

Frequently asked questions
Does converting MOV to MP4 reduce quality?+
MOV and MP4 often use the same H.264 video inside, so the visual quality stays effectively the same. The container changes more than the picture.
Why does a big MOV take a while to convert?+
Everything runs on your device rather than a server farm, so large or long recordings take longer. Smaller clips finish quickly.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?+
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg, so your video is never sent to a server.
