MOV is Apple's container, the one your iPhone camera roll and every QuickTime export hands you, and it travels badly: Windows machines, Android phones, ad platforms and older editors all want MP4 instead. This page rebuilds the clip as H.264 video with AAC audio and sets the faststart flag, so the result starts playing before it has finished downloading. Your footage is processed on this device and nowhere else.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the MP4 lower quality than the MOV I started with?
- The video is re-encoded at a high quality setting, so the loss is small and generally invisible during playback. The original file on your disk is left untouched.
- Why does my iPhone video fail elsewhere but open here?
- Recent iPhones record HEVC inside the MOV wrapper, and plenty of players still cannot decode it. The conversion writes H.264 instead, which is the codec everything plays.
- How long does a phone video take?
- Roughly real time on a laptop for a clip of a few minutes, and slower on a phone. This tab is doing the encoding work a server farm would normally charge you for, without ever seeing the footage.
