Tips for MOV to MP4 conversion
- High quality preserves the original video quality with minimal re-encoding artifacts.
- If your MOV file is from an iPhone, it may use HEVC (H.265) codec — the conversion will re-encode to H.264 for maximum compatibility.
- MOV files with ProRes codec (from professional cameras) will be significantly smaller after MP4 conversion.
About MOV and MP4 formats
.MOV format
MOV is Apple's QuickTime movie format. Common on iPhones and Macs, it supports high-quality video with multiple tracks. Often larger than MP4 files.
.MP4 format
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most widely used video container format. It stores video, audio, subtitles, and metadata in a single file. Compatible with virtually all devices, browsers, and media players.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose quality converting MOV to MP4?
At our High quality setting, the difference is virtually undetectable. Both MOV and MP4 are containers — the actual video codec matters more. We use H.264 encoding with a quality-focused CRF setting that prioritizes visual fidelity.
Why is my MOV file so much bigger than the MP4?
MOV files from iPhones often use less aggressive compression or ProRes codec, which prioritizes quality over file size. MP4 with H.264 applies more efficient compression, so the converted file is typically 30-60% smaller.
Can I upload 4K MOV files?
Yes, we support 4K video up to 200 MB. The output MP4 will maintain the original resolution.
