Formula & How It Works

Container Remuxing & Transcoding

MOV Container (moov/mdat atoms) -> MP4 Container Repackaging

QuickTime MOV and MPEG-4 Part 14 share the ISO base media file format. H.264/AAC tracks are remuxed without generational quality loss into MP4 containers, or transcoded when necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't my MOV video play on Windows?▼

Windows often lacks native codecs for Apple QuickTime container tags (like ProRes or proprietary audio). MP4 with H.264/AAC is supported on every Windows computer.

Is there any quality loss when converting MOV to MP4?▼

When both files use compatible H.264 video streams, remuxing preserves 100% identical bit-for-bit picture quality.

Are my personal videos uploaded to a cloud server?▼

No. Conversion occurs completely inside your web browser. Your private videos never leave your device.

What is the recommended maximum file size?▼

For smooth in-browser processing, video files under 200 MB work best.
