Turn your MOV file into an MP4 that plays where you need it, right in your browser.
Drag and drop the file, or click to browse. Files up to 500 MB are supported, and nothing is installed.
MP4 is already selected, so there is nothing to configure. You can switch formats in the panel if you need to.
We convert on our servers, usually in under a minute. Create a free account to download the MP4, or keep editing the file in REQO.
MOV is Apple’s QuickTime container. It is what an iPhone and Final Cut hand you, and it can hold anything from ordinary H.264 to enormous ProRes masters, which is exactly why it travels badly outside the Apple ecosystem.
The practical problem: Windows and Android often refuse to play MOV files, or play the picture with no sound. ProRes MOV files from a camera or Final Cut can be ten times larger than the same footage as MP4. Some upload forms reject the extension even when the video inside is ordinary H.264.
MP4 solves that. Plays natively on every phone, browser, TV and editing app with no extra codecs. Every upload form accepts it, from YouTube and LinkedIn to Slack and email. H.264 keeps files small enough to send while still looking sharp at 1080p.
This is the conversion people hit most often, and usually for the same reason: an iPhone or a Mac produced the file, and a Windows machine, an Android phone or an upload form on the other end will not take it. The video inside a MOV is frequently already H.264, so the change is mostly about the container and the extension, which is why the result looks identical and often weighs less.
| MOV | MP4 | |
|---|---|---|
| Container | Apple QuickTime | MPEG-4 Part 14 |
| Typical codecs | H.264, HEVC or ProRes | H.264 video, AAC audio |
| Best for | Editing on a Mac, footage straight off an iPhone | Sharing anywhere, uploads, web embeds |
| Plays on | macOS and iOS natively, patchy elsewhere | Every phone, browser, TV and editor |
| File size | Large, especially ProRes | Small for the quality |
Yes. Convert and preview the result for free, then create a free account to download it. There is no per-file charge and no watermark on the MP4 itself beyond the free-plan badge.
No. The conversion runs on our servers and the whole flow happens in your browser, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and Android.
Converting re-encodes the video, so it is not bit-for-bit identical. We encode at a high quality target, which keeps the result visually indistinguishable from the MOV on normal viewing. Converting the same file back and forth repeatedly will eventually show, so keep your original.
Up to 500 MB per file. For anything bigger, trim or compress it first, both are free tools here.
Your upload is processed and then held only as long as your project needs it. Nothing is published, indexed or shared unless you create a share link yourself.
Windows Media Player has no QuickTime support, and MOV files from newer iPhones may hold HEVC, which older Windows installs cannot decode either. Converting to MP4 with H.264 sidesteps both problems in one pass.
Usually yes. MOV files from cameras and Final Cut carry high bitrates, and a ProRes MOV can be ten times heavier than the same footage in MP4. If your MOV was already an ordinary H.264 export, expect a similar size rather than a dramatic drop.
