Convert MP4 files to QuickTime MOV for Final Cut Pro, iMovie and other Apple software that prefers the MOV container. Usually lossless and near-instant, because the existing video and audio are repackaged rather than re-encoded. Everything runs in your browser, so the conversion starts instantly, your footage is never uploaded and no account is needed.

Drag an MP4 onto the upload area or click Select Video. Files of any size work, because nothing is sent to a server.
MOV is selected automatically. Click Convert - most files repackage without re-encoding, so it finishes in seconds. Download the MOV when done.
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, and a lot of Apple software is simply happier with it. Final Cut Pro, iMovie and Motion all treat MOV as their native wrapper, and while they will usually import an MP4, you can hit friction with certain audio layouts, timecode tracks or variable frame rate footage. Rewrapping to MOV before you import sidesteps that class of problem.
The container is also what a lot of production workflows expect when you hand a file to someone else. Editors asking for "a QuickTime" are asking for a MOV, and some ingest tools, DAMs and broadcast delivery specs reject anything else at the door regardless of what is inside the file. Because the container and the codec are separate things, meeting that requirement does not have to mean re-encoding your video.
That is exactly what this tool does. MP4 and MOV are both derived from the same ISO base media file format, so the H.264 or HEVC video and AAC audio inside your MP4 can be lifted out and written into a MOV wrapper untouched. The result is bit-for-bit identical picture and sound, produced in seconds rather than minutes, with no generation loss at all.
Everything happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly and WebCodecs. Your video is never uploaded, there is no size cap beyond your device's available memory, no account to create, and nothing is stamped onto the output. Large camera files and long screen recordings are handled the same way as short clips.
No. MP4 and MOV share the same underlying file structure, so the existing video and audio streams are moved into the new container without being decoded and re-encoded. The picture and sound are bit-for-bit identical to the source.
Yes. The output is a standard QuickTime MOV carrying H.264 or HEVC video, which both applications import directly. If you need Apple ProRes specifically, that is an encoding choice rather than a container one and requires a full re-encode in an editor.
They are both containers, meaning they describe how video, audio and metadata are packaged rather than how the video is compressed. MOV came first and MP4 was standardised from it, which is why the two are so close. MP4 has wider support across Windows, Android and the web, while MOV fits more naturally into Apple editing workflows.
No. Your files never leave your device. All conversion runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly, so the process is completely private and even works offline after your first visit.
