Good to know
No upload
The video is converted by your browser and never leaves your device.
Often instant
MOV and MP4 can hold the same H.264 video, so it's usually copied in seconds without re-encoding.
HEVC made compatible
iPhone videos recorded in H.265 (HEVC) are re-encoded to H.264, which every device plays.
Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded?
No. It's converted in your browser and never leaves your device.
Does converting MOV to MP4 lower the quality?
Not when the video is H.264: it's copied exactly. H.265 (HEVC) iPhone videos are re-encoded to H.264 with enough bitrate to look the same for most clips, but it isn't a perfect copy, and the file is usually larger because H.264 needs more space than HEVC.
Why can't my browser open my iPhone video?
iPhones often record in H.265 (HEVC), and opening it needs a device that can decode HEVC. Most recent Macs, iPhones and many Windows and Android devices can. If yours can't, the tool tells you.
Can I convert to other formats?
Yes. Choose WebM, MOV or MKV under Convert to. This page only starts with MP4 selected.
