Convert MOV to MP4

Turn a QuickTime MOV — or a WebM, MKV or AVI — into an MP4 that plays everywhere. The video is transcoded to H.264 with WebCodecs in this tab, so nothing is uploaded and there is no cap on size or count.

Frequently asked questions

Which formats can it convert to MP4?

MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI and most other common containers, as long as your browser can decode the codec inside. The output is always H.264 MP4, the most widely supported format.

Can I convert MP4 back to MOV?

This tool outputs MP4, which plays in QuickTime and every modern editor anyway, so a separate MOV is rarely needed. If you specifically need a .mov container, an editor like QuickTime or DaVinci Resolve can export one.

Does converting MOV to MP4 lose quality?

It is a re-encode, not a rewrap — the video is decoded and encoded again to H.264 — so it is technically a lossy step. The tool encodes at a quality high enough that a single pass is hard to tell from the source. What you gain is huge compatibility: MP4/H.264 plays on virtually every device and site, where a MOV — especially one using Apple ProRes or a newer codec — often will not.

Why does my MOV play on a Mac but not elsewhere?

MOV is Apple QuickTime container, and Macs and iPhones handle it natively — but on Windows, Android and many websites it depends entirely on the codec inside. A MOV holding ordinary H.264 may play; one holding ProRes, HEVC or another Apple-leaning codec often will not. Converting to an H.264 MP4 removes that guesswork by standardising both the container and the codec.

Is the audio kept?

Yes — the audio track is carried over and re-encoded to AAC, the pairing a standard MP4 uses. Both the picture and the sound end up in formats that play everywhere, so you do not lose the audio or end up with a silent clip. If the source had no audio, the MP4 simply comes out video-only, the same as the original.
