How to convert MP4 to MOV
Drop your MP4 files into the box at the top of the page, or click it to browse your files. The converter makes a copy of each one in MOV format. The conversion runs in your browser, so your videos never leave your device.
You can also choose a quality level, scale the video down to a lower resolution, and remove the audio.
Converting MP4 to MOV
MP4 is typically used for sharing and uploading video, because it plays almost everywhere, while MOV is used for video from iPhones and Macs, and editing work on Apple software.
What changes when I convert MP4 to MOV?
The converter re-encodes the video, which costs a small amount of detail. Choose High quality for less loss and a larger file, or Small for the opposite.
The MOV file uses H.264 video and AAC audio, so it opens in QuickTime, iMovie and most editing programs.
What are the limits when converting MP4 to MOV?
You can convert up to 10 videos a day for free, each up to 1 GB and 10 minutes long, at up to 1080p. Pro removes the daily limit and accepts videos up to 2 GB and 60 minutes long, with no resolution cap. See the plans.
