Frameloom

Convert MOV to MP4

iPhones and many cameras save video as MOV. Some apps and websites only accept MP4. In most cases no re-encoding is needed: the video and audio inside a MOV can simply be moved into an MP4 container. Frameloom does exactly that when it can, which is instant and lossless.

Free to try: a 5-minute iPhone video costs 1 token, and you get 30 every week.

How to do it

  1. Open Convert format and drop your file in, or pick it from your device. It stays on your device.
  2. Check the settings. MP4 is preselected. Nothing else to set.
  3. Press Run, then preview and download the result.

Lossless when the streams fit

MOV and MP4 are containers: boxes around the actual video and audio. iPhone videos contain H.264 or HEVC video and AAC audio, which MP4 supports, so Frameloom copies them untouched. HEVC gets the tag Apple devices need to play it.

Only streams MP4 can't hold, such as some professional camera codecs, are re-encoded, and you'll see that in the price before you run it.

Questions

Will the quality change?
Not when the streams are copied, which is the case for almost all phone videos. The file size stays about the same too.
My iPhone video is HEVC. Will it play on Windows?
It plays wherever HEVC is supported. If you need maximum compatibility, run Optimize for web afterwards to get H.264.
Can I convert to WebM or MKV too?
Yes, the same tool converts to WebM, MOV and MKV.
