Convert MP4 to MOV
Editing software from Apple expects QuickTime MOV files, and handing it an MP4 sometimes means an extra import step or a refused file. Because MP4 and MOV carry the same common codecs, converting between them is a matter of rewriting the container, so image quality is identical afterwards. Your browser does the work locally, and nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
Can I open the result in Final Cut Pro or iMovie?
The MOV container is what those applications expect and the video stream inside is unchanged, so it imports normally.
Is the conversion lossless?
Yes. No re-encoding happens, so both the video and the audio keep their original quality.
How long does the conversion take?
Rewriting a container involves far less work than a full encode, but the exact time depends on the file size and your device.
