About converting MP4 to MOV
Video conversion is two decisions: the container — MOV, here — and the codecs inside it. We re-encode at a sensible quality rather than the maximum, because the difference is invisible and the file size is not. Resolution and length come across unchanged.
How to convert MP4 to MOV
Add your MP4 file
Drag it onto the box above, click to browse, or paste it straight from your clipboard.
Check the settings
MOV is already selected. The defaults suit most files, and you can open Settings if you want to change the quality or size.
Download the MOV
Most files are ready in a second or two. Larger ones convert in the background while you watch the progress.
Quality
The file is re-encoded, so the MOV is visually equivalent rather than bit-for-bit identical. At the default settings the difference is not something you would notice.
File size
Up to 500 MB per file on this conversion
Speed
Runs in the background — you can watch the progress and download when it finishes
