Convert MOV to MP4
Free, no watermark, no signup, and your file never leaves your device.
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, the default for iPhone recordings and Mac screen captures. The video inside is usually already H.264 or HEVC; the compatibility problem is the wrapper, which Windows apps, Android phones, and many upload forms refuse.
Conversion here means rewrapping (and re-encoding only when the codec itself needs it, as with some HEVC files), producing a standard MP4 that plays everywhere. iPhone rotation metadata is preserved, so vertical videos stay vertical, a classic failure of careless converters.
As with every tool on this site, the file is processed on your device. Nothing uploads, so a gigabyte of footage converts without a progress bar spent on your internet connection.
Questions people ask
- Will I lose quality converting MOV to MP4?
- If the MOV contains H.264, the video data can pass through intact, no quality change. HEVC sources get re-encoded to H.264 for compatibility, a single high-quality pass with negligible visible difference.
- Why does my iPhone video play sideways after other converters?
- iPhones record sensor-orientation video and mark rotation in metadata. Converters that drop that flag produce sideways output. This tool carries rotation through correctly.
- MOV won't play on Windows, why?
- Windows' built-in players have limited QuickTime support, especially for HEVC. Converting to MP4/H.264 sidesteps the codec-pack rabbit hole entirely.
