How to convert MOV to MP4
iPhones and Macs record MOV files, which some Windows apps, websites and Android phones don't play. Converting to MP4 makes the video play almost everywhere.
- Drop your MOV file into the box above, or add it from a link.
- MP4 is already selected. Use the settings button next to it to change size, quality or other options.
- Select Convert, then download your MP4 file.
To do this from your own code, call the FileForge API with "output_format": "mp4".
Good to know
- Video is encoded as H.264 with AAC audio, the most compatible combination.
- Lower the resolution (for example to 1080p or 720p) to make large iPhone videos much smaller.
- Trim the start and end in the settings to cut the clip at the same time.
About the formats
.mov
MOV is Apple's QuickTime video format, used by iPhones, Macs and many cameras. Windows apps and some websites handle it poorly, and iPhone MOV files can be large.
.mp4
MP4 is the most widely supported video format. It plays on practically every phone, browser, TV and editor, usually with H.264 video and AAC audio inside.
Questions
Why is my iPhone MOV so big?
iPhones record at high bitrates, often in 4K. Converting to MP4 at 1080p usually shrinks it a lot with little visible difference.
Will I lose quality?
The video is re-encoded, so there's a small loss, but at the default settings it's hard to see.
Are my files kept?
