Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert MOV to MP4?

MOV is Apple's QuickTime container. iPhones often record HEVC video inside it, which many Windows PCs, Android phones, browsers and upload forms cannot play. An H.264 MP4 plays almost everywhere.

Does the converter keep the original resolution?

Choose a maximum dimension at least as large as the video's longer edge to keep its size, up to 1920 pixels. A 1080p iPhone video keeps full HD at 1920; 4K videos are scaled down to 1920. Dimensions are rounded to even numbers for H.264.

Is the conversion lossless?

No. The video is re-encoded as H.264 with square pixels and at most 30 frames per second. Higher quality keeps more detail and usually produces a larger file. HDR iPhone videos are saved as standard 8-bit video without HDR tone mapping, so colours can look flatter than on the phone.

Can I convert a long MOV video?

The default upload limit is 100 MiB and sources can be up to 30 minutes long. Each export is limited to five minutes and 80 MiB. For a longer video within those limits, export it in sections.

Which streams are included in the MP4?

The first playable video track and, unless muted, the first audio track. Extra tracks, metadata, captions and chapters are excluded.

Where are files processed and when are they removed?

This tool uploads files to Zutilium's server for processing. After a successful conversion, uploads are scheduled for deletion after about one minute and generated downloads after about ten minutes. Cleanup runs periodically, so removal is not immediate. Save your result promptly.
