About MOV and MP4

MOV is QuickTime; transcoding to H.264 keeps it playable everywhere.

MP4 with H.264 video is the safest format for browsers and phones.

MOV files are read by the convertexa engine that ships with this page, so the conversion is identical whether you use this tool or the general converter. The output is produced with the same codec settings for every visitor, which means the same input always produces the same result.

Limitations

  • Re-encoding a lossy source cannot restore the quality that was lost when it was first encoded.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a MOV file to MP4?

Add your MOV file to the box above. convertexa detects the format from the file content, applies the MOV to MP4 conversion and gives you the result to download. The whole operation runs inside your browser.

Are my MOV files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in a sandboxed worker on your own device. Your file never leaves the browser, and nothing is stored on a server.

Is the MOV to MP4 conversion lossless?

No. MP4 is a re-encoded format, so some data is discarded to reach the target format. MOV is QuickTime; transcoding to H.264 keeps it playable everywhere.

Is there a size limit?

For reliable results keep the input under 300 MB. Very large files run out of memory in the browser rather than failing quietly.

Which browsers are supported?

Any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on a desktop. The conversion engines need WebAssembly and Web Workers, both of which are standard since 2018.
