Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between MOV and MP4?
Both are containers that usually hold the same things: H.264 or HEVC video and AAC audio. MOV is Apple's format; MP4 is the common standard that virtually every device, app and website understands.
What happens to iPhone videos?
iPhones record in HEVC (H.265) by default. To make the MP4 open everywhere, such video is re-encoded to H.264. If the MOV already contains H.264, it's simply repackaged — fast and lossless.
Why does it take a while?
Re-encoding video is heavy work, and it happens right on your device. A minute of video takes from tens of seconds to a few minutes, depending on resolution and your computer. Progress is shown as a percentage.
How do I make the file smaller?
Choose “Medium” or “Low” quality and a smaller frame size — 720p or 480p. 720p means the short side of the frame is 720 pixels: for a vertical video that's the width.
Is the sound kept?
Yes. AAC audio is copied as is; other audio is re-encoded to AAC. If your browser can't handle the file's audio, the video is saved without sound and the row shows a warning.
Which browsers does it work in?
Up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari: video is encoded with the browser's built-in codecs (WebCodecs). If your browser lacks a codec, the file's row will tell you.
Is it safe?
Yes. Only the converter itself is loaded from the site; your video is processed in your browser and never sent to a server.
