Why MOV files refuse to play everywhere
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container - it's what an iPhone, iPad or Mac produces by default when you record video. Inside Apple's ecosystem it plays perfectly, but step outside and things get unreliable: Windows apps without QuickTime support, Android phones, smart TVs, older projectors and many web upload forms either reject the file outright or play it without sound or image.
MP4 is the neutral standard every device understands. Converting your MOV to MP4 doesn't change what the video looks like - it changes how it's packaged, so the same footage opens in PowerPoint, plays on the living-room TV and uploads to any platform without a codec complaint.
iPhone footage, Windows editing: the classic case
The most common reason people need this page: footage shot on an iPhone that has to end up in a Windows workflow - a school project, an office presentation, a family montage in a free editor. Recent iPhones make it worse by recording HEVC video inside the MOV, a codec many Windows machines can't decode without paid extensions.
Run the file through the converter above and the problem disappears at the source: you hand the editor a plain MP4 it recognizes, instead of installing codec packs on every machine that touches the video. The conversion keeps the original resolution and frame rate, so 4K stays 4K and 60 fps stays 60 fps.

FAQ
Does converting MOV to MP4 lose quality?
The conversion keeps the original resolution and frame rate, and for normal footage the result is visually indistinguishable from the source. Keep your original MOV as the master copy if you plan heavy editing later.
Why won't my iPhone video play on Windows or Android?
iPhones record MOV files, often with the HEVC codec, and many Windows and Android players can't decode that combination out of the box. Converting to MP4 repackages the video into the format those players expect.
Can I convert several MOV files at once?
The converter processes one file per run. For several videos, convert them one after another - there's no daily limit and no cost, so a batch just takes a few extra minutes.
Is my video kept on your servers?
No. The file is processed temporarily, deleted automatically after conversion, and the download link expires shortly after. Download your MP4 when it's ready - if the link expires, just convert again.
Can I convert MOV to MP4 on my phone?
Yes. The converter runs in the browser, so you can upload the MOV from your phone's files or camera roll and download the MP4 straight back to the device - no app needed.
