Can I upload converted files to social media?

Yes! MP4 is the preferred format for all social media platforms—YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. While some platforms accept MOV, they often re-encode it anyway, potentially reducing quality. Converting to MP4 first ensures optimal upload quality and faster processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

MOV (QuickTime Movie) is Apple's video container format. While perfect for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, MOV has limited support on Windows PCs, Android devices, and web browsers. Converting to MP4 ensures your videos play everywhere—all browsers, all phones, all platforms—without requiring QuickTime player or special codecs.

MOV files are created by Apple devices and software: iPhone camera and screen recordings, iPad videos, Mac screen captures, QuickTime Player, Final Cut Pro, and iMovie exports. Professional cameras like Canon DSLRs and some GoPro models also record in MOV format. It's the default format for the Apple ecosystem.

Windows 10/11 has limited MOV support—some files play, many don't. Android devices rarely support MOV natively. The issue is codec compatibility: MOV can contain various video codecs (H.264, HEVC, ProRes), and non-Apple systems don't include decoders for all of them. MP4 with H.264 plays everywhere without additional software.

If your MOV uses H.264 codec (most iPhone videos), quality loss is minimal—near lossless at 'High Quality' or 'Best Quality' settings. If your MOV uses HEVC (newer iPhones) or ProRes (professional cameras), some re-encoding occurs, but at default settings the difference is imperceptible. You get much better compatibility with negligible quality trade-off.

Conversion is slower than real-time—a 1-minute iPhone video typically takes 2-5 minutes depending on your device. Desktop computers are faster than laptops, which are faster than phones. Higher quality settings increase processing time. For batch conversions or frequent use, desktop software like HandBrake offers better performance.

For iPhone videos, 'High Quality' provides excellent results—virtually indistinguishable from the original. Choose 'Best Quality' for professional work or archiving. 'Smaller File' works well for sharing via messaging apps. For social media uploads, 'High Quality' or even 'Smaller File' is sufficient since platforms re-compress videos anyway.

Yes! Mac screen recordings (Command+Shift+5) are saved as MOV files. Converting them to MP4 makes them shareable with Windows users and embeddable in websites. Screen recordings typically convert quickly since they're often lower resolution and use efficient codecs.

No, never. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your video files stay completely private on your device and are never transmitted anywhere. You can even use this tool offline after the initial page load. Perfect for sensitive or personal videos.

Yes, but ProRes files are extremely large and conversion is slow in browsers. ProRes is designed for editing, not playback. Converting to MP4 reduces file sizes by 80-95% while maintaining excellent quality for viewing. For professional workflows with many ProRes files, desktop software is more efficient than browser conversion.
