More about MOV to MP4
Why convert MOV to MP4
MOV is a great format for Apple devices and editing, but it is less compatible than MP4. Android phones, smart TVs, browsers and social networks may refuse to play it. MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio is the safest choice for sharing.
How it works
The file is uploaded to the server and processed by ffmpeg in an isolated queue. Video is encoded to H.264, audio to AAC, and the container gets the faststart flag for quick playback. Progress is displayed on the page, and the result is deleted after download or within an hour.
Limitations
The maximum size is 100 MB, duration is limited to five minutes and resolution to Full HD. The server handles one job at a time. For long videos, prepare a smaller file or use a desktop converter.
