Convert MOV to MP4 Online

Upload a MOV file and convert it to MP4 instantly. MP4 works on every device and platform, making it ideal for sharing.

How it works

  1. Upload your MOV file. Drag your QuickTime MOV file into DomeScribe. MOV files from iPhones, iPads, and Final Cut Pro are all fully supported.
  2. Review video properties. DomeScribe reads the MOV container and displays resolution, frame rate, and codec details. HEVC and ProRes sources are automatically detected.
  3. Choose MP4 encoding settings. Select your target resolution and codec. H.264 offers maximum compatibility, while H.265 provides smaller files at the same quality. Adjust the CRF value for fine control over the quality-to-size ratio.
  4. Convert and download your MP4. Click Convert to re-encode your MOV into a universally compatible MP4 file. The output plays natively on Windows, Android, smart TVs, and web browsers without additional codecs.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I convert MOV files to MP4?

MOV is Apple's native container and works well within the Apple ecosystem, but many Windows applications, Android devices, and web platforms do not support it natively. Converting to MP4 with DomeScribe ensures your video plays everywhere without requiring special software or codecs.

Will converting MOV to MP4 lose quality from my iPhone recordings?

When DomeScribe can remux the streams (common when the MOV contains H.264 or H.265 video), the conversion is lossless — the data is simply repackaged. If transcoding is required, DomeScribe uses high-quality settings that preserve virtually all visual detail.

Can DomeScribe handle MOV files recorded in Apple ProRes or HEVC?

Yes. DomeScribe fully supports ProRes and HEVC (H.265) sources commonly produced by iPhones, iPads, and professional editing software. ProRes files are transcoded to an efficient H.264 or H.265 MP4, significantly reducing file size while maintaining excellent quality.

How long does it take to convert a MOV to MP4?

If remuxing is possible, DomeScribe's conversion takes only seconds regardless of file size. When full transcoding is needed, processing time depends on the file length and resolution — a typical 5-minute 1080p clip converts in under a minute on most connections.

Can I upload the converted MP4 directly to social media?

Absolutely. DomeScribe's MP4 output uses H.264 video and AAC audio, which is the exact format recommended by YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and virtually every social media platform. No further conversion is needed after downloading.
