How It Works

Conversion Mechanics

MOV is Apple's native video container (the default when you record on an iPhone or export from Final Cut), but a lot of non-Apple software, older Android phones, and Windows tools either mishandle it or refuse to open it at all. Converting to MP4 fixes that near-universally, since virtually every platform, phone, and video site accepts MP4 uploads.

Why It's Private

Runs Entirely In Your Browser: Files are decoded and re-encoded strictly in local memory.
No Network Requests: The converter makes no calls to any server. Check your browser's DevTools Network tab to confirm.
Nothing to Sign Up For: No account, no upload, and no server-side storage of your files.
Runs On Your Hardware: Processing uses your own device's CPU via Web Workers, not a remote server.

Frequently Asked Questions on Secure MOV to MP4 Conversion

iPhones record video in the MOV container by default, and some non-Apple software and older devices either can't open it or don't play its audio/video codecs correctly.

There's some re-encoding involved, but at reasonable settings the visual difference is generally not noticeable for typical viewing.

It can go either way depending on the original MOV's encoding settings. MP4 with modern codecs is often similar or smaller.
