Convert MP4 to MOV, WEBM to MOV, or even images to MOV with this online video converter.
or drop, paste, or choose from cloud
MOV is the QuickTime container, so the file opens in QuickTime Player, iMovie and Final Cut Pro without a detour. Converting to it is how a clip that came from somewhere else gets into an Apple workflow.
H.264 for the widest compatibility, H.265 or AV1 for a smaller file at the same picture, MPEG-4 or MJPEG when an older device or camera asks for them. The list is the one the conversion engine accepts for MOV.
Conversion runs on our servers over an encrypted connection. There is no software to download and no account needed to use it.
Bring any video and the format is read from the file itself. MP4, WEBM, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV, MPG, 3GP and the rest all convert the same way, and you can add several files at once. Each one comes back as its own MOV with the same settings applied.
Images work too, which is what the engine calls a still frame: upload a picture and it becomes a short MOV clip. An audio file can be wrapped into a MOV in the same pass.
You can also paste a link instead of uploading, or pull the file in from cloud storage.
The video codec select decides how the picture is stored inside the MOV. H.264 is the safe answer that plays on almost anything. H.265 and AV1 reach a similar picture in a smaller file but need a recent player. MPEG-4, Xvid, MJPEG, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 are there for older hardware, and Copy carries the existing video stream over untouched so the file is only rewrapped into MOV, which is the fastest route when the codec is already what you want.
Frame rate and screen size are there for a target device that needs a particular number, and deinterlacing cleans up footage from an older camera or a TV recording.
The bitrate method decides how quality is controlled. CRF asks for a constant quality and lets the size follow, on a scale where a lower number means better quality and a bigger file. Constant and variable bitrate let you name the figure in kbps instead.
Anything you do not touch is not sent at all, so the engine keeps its own defaults for it.
The sound track can be re-encoded to AAC, HE-AAC v1 or v2, MP3, Opus or Vorbis, written out as uncompressed PCM, or copied across as it is. Bitrate, sample rate up to 96000 Hz, and stereo or mono are separate selects beside it.
There is also a switch that removes the audio completely, which is what you want for a silent background clip or before you put a new sound track on the video.
Converting a video to MOV is free and needs no account. Every upload and download runs over an encrypted connection, so your footage cannot be read on the way.
Processing is fully automated: nobody watches your videos and they are never used to train AI models. You keep the copyright and the ownership of both the video you upload and the one you get back.
The servers that do the work are in Europe.
Upload your file. It can be any video format.
Now adjust settings such as the video codec.
Change the audio settings to adjust the quality or remove the audio.
Now click on "Start" to convert your file to MOV.
Any video file the converter reads, which covers MP4, WEBM, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV, MPG, 3GP and more. Images and audio files are accepted as well. You do not have to say what you are uploading: the format is read from the file.
MOV is the QuickTime container Apple designed for its own video software. It holds a video track, one or more audio tracks and their timing, much as MP4 does, and it is the format Apple editing software reads most readily.
Re-encoding a video compresses it again, so a little detail is lost. Leaving the settings alone keeps that change small. If you would rather steer it, the bitrate method lets you set a CRF value, where a lower number means better quality and a larger file, or name a bitrate in kbps yourself. Picking Copy as the video codec skips re-encoding altogether and only rewraps the stream.
H.264 if the file has to play anywhere. H.265 or AV1 if a smaller file matters more than playing on older devices. ProRes is not among the codecs the engine offers for MOV, so this converter produces a MOV with one of the codecs in that select rather than a ProRes master.
Yes. Add as many as you like and each one is converted separately with the same settings, then returned as its own MOV.
No. Converting to MOV here is free and does not require an account. A paid plan raises the upload limit and how many files you can process at once.
