About MOV and MP4
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container. It is what iPhones, Macs and QuickTime screen recordings commonly produce, and some Windows programs and web platforms do not accept it.
MP4 is the most widely supported video container. It usually holds H.264 video with AAC audio and plays on phones, TVs, editing software, social platforms and every major browser.
When to convert MOV to MP4
Convert when a Windows program, a web form or a platform will not accept MOV files from an iPhone or Mac.
Tip
Large screen recordings take longer, because your own computer does the conversion.

MOV to MP4: frequently asked questions
Can I convert iPhone videos?
Yes. iPhone MOV files convert to standard H.264 MP4. Very long 4K videos can take a while because everything runs on your computer.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no price, no account, no watermark and no limit on how many files you convert.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser on your own computer. Your video never leaves your device.
Is there a file size limit?
Files up to about 1 GB work well. Very large files depend on your computer's memory and can be slow.
Why does the first conversion take longer?
The first time, your browser downloads the converter (about 30 MB). It is cached after that.
