Why convert MP4 to MOV
MP4 is the most universal video format, but Apple tools sometimes prefer MOV. QuickTime and Final Cut Pro work with MOV natively, and some macOS workflows expect it. Converting MP4 to MOV helps when you need to import a file into an Apple editing pipeline.
How it works
The file is uploaded to an isolated queue and processed by ffmpeg. If the video and audio codecs are compatible with MOV, the streams are copied without quality loss. Otherwise the tool re-encodes the video to a compatible codec. Progress is shown on the page.
What to know
The maximum file size is 100 MB, duration is limited to five minutes and resolution to Full HD. The server runs one job at a time to stay stable. For long videos, prepare the file in advance or use a desktop converter.
Questions and answers
Is the video re-encoded?
When the codecs are compatible, the tool copies the streams into a MOV container without re-encoding, which is fast and lossless. If needed, it falls back to re-encoding.
What are the limits?
Up to 100 MB, 5 minutes long and Full HD resolution. Larger videos should be trimmed or compressed first.
Is the file stored on the server?
The file is processed in an isolated queue and deleted automatically after download or within an hour.
Will audio be preserved?
Yes, the audio track is copied or re-encoded together with the video.
