About MOV to MP4 (H.265)
Convert MOV to MP4 (H.265). MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, common for ProRes and H.264 camera files. MP4 (H.265) stores HEVC video, cutting bitrate roughly in half versus H.264. HEVC decoding needs newer hardware and encodes more slowly..
Why convert MOV to MP4 (H.265)?
- Smaller files with MP4 (H.265) lossy compression.
- Keep animation and transparency where supported.

When not to convert MOV to MP4 (H.265)

Limits
Starting point: MOV - QuickTime camera files with ProRes or H.264. Some codecs inside need transcoding before browser playback. HEVC decoding needs newer hardware and encodes more slowly. Encode MP4 (H.265) (H.265 / AAC) from MOV at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
How conversion works
Conversion runs entirely in your browser with FFmpeg WASM. Files never leave your device.
