Convert MOV to MP4, free
iPhones love handing you .mov files that Windows, Android TVs, and half the web players on earth refuse to open. The contents are usually perfectly good H.264 — it's the container (and sometimes HEVC) tripping everyone up. Drop the file below with MP4 pre-selected and get back a universally playable MP4 at original quality. If your iPhone shot in High Efficiency (HEVC) and the preview stays black, hit the built-in compatibility conversion first — then convert as normal.
How to convert MOV to MP4

Why convert MOV to MP4?
Compatibility. MP4 with H.264 plays on Windows, Android, smart TVs, game consoles, and every browser — MOV often only behaves on Apple devices.
Will I lose quality?
No — Original quality keeps everything your iPhone captured. Only step down if you also want a smaller file.
My MOV preview is black — is the file broken?
Probably not — it's likely HEVC, which some browsers can't decode. Use the compatibility conversion offered on the page, then convert.
Are my videos uploaded?
Never. Everything runs locally in your browser.
