Common questions

Why convert MP4 to MOV?

MOV is QuickTime's native container and the format Final Cut Pro, iMovie, and Compressor are built around. While macOS opens MP4 files fine, MOV avoids the occasional "re-import to MOV" step Final Cut wants.

Does this produce a ProRes file?

No — this free converter outputs a standard H.264 video in a MOV container, which any editor can open. It does not transcode to Apple ProRes, which is a separate editing-grade codec. True ProRes (and Avid DNxHR) export is available as a dedicated Business / Enterprise feature — see the Pro video formats tool.

Will quality drop?

No — we re-pack the video stream into the MOV container without re-encoding when codecs match. Same quality, same file size. If the source uses a codec MOV doesn't support, we re-encode to H.264 at high quality.

Is there a file size limit?

Free users can convert MP4 files up to 25 MB without an account, or up to 10 conversions per day with a free account. Pro users get 500 MB per file and 3,000 credits a month. Business users get up to 5 GB.
