MOV to MP4 Converter
Convert MOV files to H.264 MP4 right in your browser. QuickTime recordings from iPhones, cameras and screen recorders become MP4 files that play on any device — nothing is uploaded.
When a MOV file needs to become MP4
MOV is the container Apple built around QuickTime, and it is the default recording format of iPhones and many cameras. The trouble starts when the file leaves the Apple world: older Windows players, some Android phones, smart TVs and most web upload forms either refuse MOV or play it without sound. Converting to MP4 with the video to MP4 converter above repackages the same footage as H.264 video with AAC audio — the combination every modern device and browser understands.
What the conversion does to your file
This is a real re-encode, not a rename. The converter decodes your MOV and writes a fresh MP4, capping the resolution at the maximum you pick and never enlarging a small source. Because H.264 is lossy, a converted file is a close copy rather than a bit-perfect one; for screen recordings and camera clips at the top resolution setting the difference is hard to see. Subtitle tracks embedded in the MOV are not carried over, so keep the original if you need them. Starting from a different container? The same tool handles WebM to MP4, MKV to MP4 and AVI to MP4.
Private by design
Most online converters upload your video and convert it on their servers. This page runs the whole job in your browser, so footage of your family, your screen or your work never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
Why convert MOV to MP4 at all?
MOV is a QuickTime container that many Windows apps, Android devices and web players handle poorly. MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio is the most widely supported combination, so the same file plays almost everywhere.
Will the quality stay the same?
The video is re-encoded to H.264, which is lossy, so a small quality change is normal. Choosing the highest resolution setting keeps the picture closest to the original; the file is never upscaled.
My MOV will not convert. What is wrong?
MOV is only a container — the codec inside decides compatibility. Common iPhone and camera recordings work with the bundled engine; encrypted, damaged or very unusual streams can fail.
What happens to subtitles and extra audio tracks?
Subtitle tracks are not copied into the MP4. The main audio is encoded to AAC; if your MOV has several audio tracks, check the result and keep the original for anything the MP4 left out.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser with an on-device engine. Your file never leaves this tab, and there is no account or queue.
