MOV to MP4 Conversion FAQ
Will resolution and frame rate be preserved in the MP4?
+
Yes. MOV → MP4 keeps resolution, frame rate, and aspect ratio unchanged by default. To change them, use the Resize or Speed tool on the result.
Is the MOV to MP4 conversion reversible?
+
You can convert the MP4 back to MOV on this site. If either format involved is lossy, the round-trip is not bit-perfect even though it is visually or audibly close.
Can MOV be converted to MP4 without re-encoding the video?
+
No, not on this page. MOV and MP4 share the same underlying structure, but the converter re-encodes the video for this pair rather than copying the stream, so it takes longer than a container change and the picture is compressed again. Choose High Quality under Quality to keep the most detail. MOV is Apple’s QuickTime container, shipped in 1991 and still the format an iPhone, iPad or Final Cut Pro timeline writes by default. MP4 is ISO/IEC 14496-14, standardised in 2001 and derived from the same QuickTime box layout MOV uses.
Will the MP4 play on a phone without anything installed?
+
That is the whole argument for it. MP4 is what phones record to and what every phone, tablet, console, television and browser built in the last decade decodes in hardware, so a file in it opens on whatever the recipient happens to own. Hardware decoding is the part people underestimate: it is why an hour of video plays on a phone without draining the battery, and why nothing else is a safer choice when you do not know what the file will land on. MP4 is the safest possible delivery target — every phone, browser, console, editor and Smart TV built in the last decade plays it without extra software.
My MOV has several audio tracks — do they all survive into the MP4?
+
No. The converter keeps one audio track, the one with the most channels (normally the main mix), and drops the rest; there is no setting to pick a different one. To keep another track, remux the MOV with that track first (VLC or ffmpeg can do this), then convert it. MOV is the QuickTime container, which Final Cut Pro, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve all open natively. MP4 only supports one widely-honoured subtitle format (mov_text), and multi-track audio is unreliable outside desktop players.
Will the MP4 play in a browser when the MOV would not?
+
Yes, and that is usually the whole reason for the conversion. An MOV embedded in a web page either shows a broken player or forces a download, because browsers ship no decoder for it. MP4 plays inline through the native HTML5 video element with no plugin and no external application.
Is there a file-size limit when converting MOV to MP4?
+
Free conversions have a size limit per file, set by the type of file, and the page tells you when a file is over it. A paid plan removes that limit, so much larger files can be converted.
Can I batch-convert several MOV files to MP4 at once?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
What happens to my MOV files after the conversion?
+
Uploaded files are processed on our own conversion servers, nobody looks at them, and they are not shared. The upload and the converted file are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
Will my MP4 play on phones, tablets, and TVs?
+
Yes — MP4 uses modern codecs that play natively on iOS, Android, Smart TVs, game consoles, and every modern browser.
Do I need to install software to convert MOV to MP4?
+
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser plus our cloud — no plugin, no install, no admin rights. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.
Do I need an account to convert MOV to MP4?
+
Yes. One conversion an hour is free, with no account needed, for a file within the free size limit. A paid plan removes the hourly limit and the size limit, and lets you add several files to one job.
