About MP4

MPEG-4 Part 14

The universal video format

MP4 is the most widely used video format, usually with H.264 video and AAC audio. Phones, cameras, websites and social networks all use it.

Strengths
Plays everywhere, with good quality at a small size.
Limitations
H.264 is less efficient than newer codecs such as HEVC or AV1.

About MOV

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert MP4 to MOV?

Add your MP4 file to the tool above. MOV is already selected, so processing starts with the right settings. When it is done, click Download.

Will converting MP4 to MOV reduce the quality?

H.264 and HEVC video from the MP4 file are copied without loss; other codecs are re-encoded to high-quality H.264 that every Apple device plays.

Is my MP4 video uploaded anywhere?

No. The MP4 to MOV conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device.

How long does converting MP4 to MOV take?

If the streams can be copied, a few seconds. If the video has to be re-encoded, roughly one to three minutes per minute of 720p video on a computer, and longer on phones.
