MOV is Apple's QuickTime format. iPhones record their videos as MOVs,
and so do Mac screen recordings and some cameras. Newer iPhones fill
them with HEVC video, which many Windows PCs, older phones and
websites can't play.
An MP4 with H.264 video and AAC sound plays on all of them, and on
TVs and every site you'd post to. So before you send, share or edit
a video anywhere else, convert the MOV file to MP4, and check the
video size limits of where it's
going.
Whether it's an iPhone MOV or any other QuickTime video, this
converts it to MP4 online, right in your browser, with nothing to
install. Your video never leaves your device. To make it smaller at the
same time, compress video writes an MP4
too.
