Convert MP4 to MOV — right in your browser

Drop an .mp4 and get a QuickTime .mov — the format Final Cut Pro, iMovie and QuickTime Player expect. It's converted on your own device, so the file is never uploaded.

Why convert MP4 to MOV?

MOV is Apple's QuickTime format, and some Mac software still prefers it. Final Cut Pro, iMovie and older Apple apps import .mov without complaint, while a stray .mp4 can land in a project with the wrong timing or refuse to import at all. If a Mac editor won't take your file, handing it a .mov is usually the fix.

MP4 and MOV are close relatives — they hold the same kind of video, just wrapped differently — so the picture and sound come across intact and the conversion runs on the fast path. It happens locally in your browser, so nothing is stored or logged and even a long recording starts immediately with no upload.

Frequently asked questions

Is my .mp4 file uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser, on your own device. There's no server that could receive the file — open your browser's Network tab while it runs and you'll see zero bytes leave.
Will the MOV look the same as the MP4?
Effectively, yes. The two formats carry video the same way, so nothing is thrown away in translation. You can still set a target size or quality level first if you want a smaller file.
Will it open in Final Cut Pro or QuickTime Player?
Yes — the result is a standard QuickTime file that opens in QuickTime Player, imports into Final Cut Pro and iMovie, and plays on any Mac without extra software.
