Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose quality when converting from MOV to MP4?
When converting between video formats, some quality loss is possible. However, our converter uses high-quality settings to minimize this loss. In most cases, the difference is imperceptible to the average viewer, especially since both formats can use the same H.264 video codec.
Can I convert MOV files created on my iPhone or Mac?
Yes! Our converter works with MOV files from any source, including those created by iPhones, iPads, Mac computers, or professional cameras that record in MOV format.
Is my data secure?
