## How it works

Choose a MOV file, keep MP4 selected, and start the conversion. The video is decoded and encoded into an MP4-compatible format.

## Result

An MP4 file with H.264 video and AAC audio for broad compatibility with browsers, phones, messaging apps, and presentation software.

## Limitations

Conversion speed depends on duration, resolution, source codec, and device performance. Very large MOV files require extra browser memory.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why convert MOV to MP4?

MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio is supported by more browsers, devices, and sharing services than many MOV variants.

### Does changing the extension convert the video?

No. A real conversion rewrites the video and audio into codecs that are suitable for the MP4 container.
