MOV and MP4

MOV and MP4 are similar file types. Both can hold H.264 or HEVC video with AAC sound.

When the codecs fit, the page can copy them into an MP4 file. This takes a few seconds and loses nothing.

Videos from an iPhone

An iPhone can save video as HEVC. Some computers and apps cannot play HEVC.

To get H.264, which plays almost everywhere, leave Keep quality off. The page then encodes the video again.

Other free tools for files

Make a photo smaller with the Image tools. Merge, split or compress a PDF file with the PDF tools. Both tools are free and run in your browser.

Questions

How do I convert an iPhone video to MP4?

Pick the MOV file and press Convert. To keep the HEVC video, tick Keep quality. To get H.264, leave it off.

Why is the copy option quick?

The page does not encode the video. It moves the video and the sound into an MP4 file. A long video takes a few seconds.

Will an HEVC video play after the change?

Only on devices that support HEVC. Old computers and some apps do not. Leave Keep quality off to get H.264 for all devices.

Is the picture turned the right way?

Yes. The page keeps the turn of a video from a phone. A video that you copy keeps its turn tag.
