MP4 to MOV Conversion FAQ
Is the MP4 to MOV converter free?
+
Yes. One conversion an hour is free, with no account needed, for a file within the free size limit. A paid plan removes the hourly limit and the size limit, and lets you add several files to one job.
Can MP4 be converted to MOV without re-encoding the video?
+
No, not on this page. MP4 and MOV share the same underlying structure, but the converter re-encodes the video for this pair rather than copying the stream, so it takes longer than a container change and the picture is compressed again. Choose High Quality under Quality to keep the most detail. MP4 is ISO/IEC 14496-14, standardised in 2001 and derived from the same QuickTime box layout MOV uses. MOV is Apple’s QuickTime container, shipped in 1991 and still the format an iPhone, iPad or Final Cut Pro timeline writes by default.
Can the MOV hold more than one audio track?
+
Yes, and it is a real upgrade over MP4. MOV treats every audio stream as a first-class track, so an original-language mix, a dub and a director commentary can live in one file with the player switching between them on demand. MOV is the QuickTime container, which Final Cut Pro, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve all open natively.
Does MOV support chapter markers that MP4 did not?
+
It does. MOV stores chapters as container metadata, so a long recording can be navigated by section instead of by scrubbing a progress bar. MP4 has nowhere to put that information, so the converted MOV starts with no chapters; add markers afterwards with a tool such as MKVToolNix or ffmpeg.
Can I still embed the file on a web page after converting MP4 to MOV?
+
Not directly. MP4 plays inline in every browser; MOV does not, so a page embedding it falls back to a download link or an empty player frame. If the file is destined for a website, keep the MP4 for the web and treat the MOV as the archive or editing copy. MOV files are large, and outside the Apple ecosystem playback support is patchier than MP4 — older Android builds and some Smart TVs will refuse them.
How big an MP4 file can I convert to MOV?
+
Free conversions have a size limit per file, set by the type of file, and the page tells you when a file is over it. A paid plan removes that limit, so much larger files can be converted.
Can I convert many MP4 files to MOV at once?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Does the MP4 to MOV converter work on phones and tablets?
+
Yes — the UI is responsive and the conversion pipeline runs server-side, so mobile devices upload-then-download just like desktops. iOS and Android browser file pickers (camera roll, Files app) work end-to-end.
Which browsers does the MP4 to MOV converter support?
+
Chrome, Firefox, Safari (15+), Edge, and Opera. The converter uses standard `<input type="file">` upload — no WebAssembly or PWA dependencies — so even older browsers work.
Are my MP4 files kept private?
+
Yes. Uploaded MP4 files are processed on our own servers and are never viewed or shared. Uploads and results are deleted automatically about 24 hours after conversion. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
