Convert MOV to MP4

Videos from iPhones and cameras are often MOV files with HEVC, which not every computer can play. FeatherCut saves them as MP4 with H.264, which works everywhere.

Tips

Good to know about MOV

  • An iPhone set to High Efficiency records HEVC (H.265). Windows often cannot play it without an extra extension, while MP4 with H.264 just works.
  • The YouTube preset keeps quality high, up to 1080p. If you need a smaller file, pick a platform or a custom size.
  • A MOV that already has H.264 at a sensible bitrate is just repackaged into MP4. That takes seconds and loses no quality.
  • You can do it right on your iPhone: open this page in Safari and pick a video from your library.

FAQ

Common questions

Aren't MOV and MP4 the same thing?

They are two different containers. They often hold the same picture, but MP4 is supported by more apps, sites and devices.

Will converting lower the quality?

With the YouTube preset quality stays high. If the file already has H.264, repackaging is completely lossless.

What about 4K videos?

The YouTube preset saves up to 1080p, so the file is lighter and compresses faster.
