MOV vs MP4

MOV and MP4 are closely related containers, but MOV files from cameras and editors often hold ProRes or other high-bitrate codecs that are huge and poorly supported outside Apple apps.

Re-encoding to H.264 MP4 gives you a file that is typically a fraction of the size and plays in every browser, phone and platform.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert iPhone MOV videos to MP4?

Yes. iPhone HEVC and H.264 MOVs convert to H.264 MP4 for maximum compatibility.

Is MOV to MP4 conversion lossless?

No — it re-encodes the video. At the default quality the difference is minimal; raise the quality fader to keep more detail.

Can I keep transparency in MP4?

Only as HEVC with alpha, which needs the optional native helper. Otherwise use MOV to WebM for transparent web video.
