The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.
3
Download
Get your MOV the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.
Files stay on your device
Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.
No file size limit
Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.
Free, no signup, no ads on conversions
No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.

About MP4 and MOV
MP4, MPEG-4 Part 14
MP4 is the dominant video container on the web, H.264 video plus AAC audio, in a structure designed for streaming. Every browser, mobile device, smart TV, and editing tool reads MP4. The format is technically a container (not a codec), so two MP4 files can have very different internal codecs, but the H.264+AAC default is what enables universal playback.
How to open
Every video player on the planet, VLC, QuickTime, Windows Media Player, browsers (HTML5 video), iOS, Android, smart TVs, game consoles. Universal.
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, used by macOS and iOS for screen recordings and the iPhone Camera app. Structurally very similar to MP4, the two formats share most of the same internal codecs (H.264, HEVC) and can usually be losslessly remuxed between each other without re-encoding. Universal compatibility, slightly favored on Apple platforms.
How to open
QuickTime Player (macOS), every modern video player. Some older Windows software may not handle the QuickTime container, converting to MP4 fixes it without quality loss.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this MP4 → MOV converter really free?
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.
Where does my file go when I convert it?
Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.
What's the maximum file size?
Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.
Why convert MP4 to MOV?
Web video, mobile video recording, video sharing. iPhone screen recordings, Apple ecosystem video. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, MOV works in places where MP4 doesn't, or vice versa.
How do I open a MP4 file in the first place?
Every video player on the planet, VLC, QuickTime, Windows Media Player, browsers (HTML5 video), iOS, Android, smart TVs, game consoles. Universal.
Does this work offline?
Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
