How to use MOV to MP4
MOV is a container, not one codec. ProRes, HEVC, alpha video, or professional audio tracks may not be handled by the bundled browser core.
- Choose the file and wait for basic media metadata.
- Set the quality and audio bitrate exposed by this page.
- Start re-encoding to MP4.
- Check beginning/end, sync, orientation, and color before download.
Available controls
- Quality / CRF
- Audio bitrate
- Output is compatible MP4; resolution and frame-rate controls are not currently exposed
What it helps with
- Better web and everyday-player compatibility
- Media is read and transcoded in this browser tab and is not uploaded to FreeTool to perform the task.
Compatibility and limits
- Not every MOV codec, alpha channel, or professional media feature is supported
- Re-encoding is not a lossless remux
- Large MOV files can be slow and memory intensive in a browser
