Convert MOV to MP4
Convert MOV files to MP4 entirely in your browser — no upload, no account, no watermark.
Your file never leaves your device — conversion runs entirely in this browser tab.
To convert MOV to MP4, open the MP4 converter and drop your MOV file in. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the file is never uploaded. The most common conversion of all.
What to expect from this conversion
The most common conversion of all. If your MOV holds H.264 this is close to a straight repackage and loses almost nothing. If it holds ProRes, expect the file to shrink dramatically — a 20GB ProRes export routinely becomes a 400MB MP4 with no visible difference at normal viewing distance.
Apple’s QuickTime container. Often holds H.264, in which case it is essentially an MP4 — but when it holds ProRes it can be twenty times larger.
Lossy · video
The universal container, normally holding H.264 and AAC. Plays essentially everywhere.

Both MOV and MP4 discard data to save space, so this conversion compresses something that has already been compressed. Always convert from your original file rather than from an earlier conversion — the losses compound.

Common questions
How do I convert MOV to MP4?
Open the MP4 converter, drop your MOV file onto it and press Convert. Everything runs in your browser — the file is not uploaded. Desktop browsers handle files up to about 200MB; mobile browsers about 40MB.
Does converting MOV to MP4 lose quality?
Yes, some. Both MOV and MP4 are lossy, so this is a second compression pass over data that was already compressed. The loss is usually modest, but always convert from your original rather than from a previous conversion.
Is it free to convert MOV to MP4?
Yes, with no account, no watermark and no daily limit. The processing happens on your device rather than on a server, so there are no per-conversion costs to pass on.
Are my files uploaded when converting MOV to MP4?
No. FFmpeg runs as WebAssembly inside your browser tab. The file is read from your disk, processed in memory and written back out — it never reaches a server.
