About These Formats
MOV is Apple QuickTime's container, generated by default by iPhones, iPads, the macOS screen recorder, and Final Cut Pro export presets. The moment you try to share that footage with a Windows colleague, drop it into a Google Slides deck, or upload it to a non-Apple social platform, MOV becomes a friction point. Converting MOV to MP4 is usually a fast rewrap: both containers can carry H.264 or HEVC video and AAC audio, so when the codec is already H.264 you can swap wrappers without re-encoding and the conversion finishes in seconds with zero quality loss. If your iPhone footage is HEVC (H.265), re-encoding to H.264 inside MP4 maximizes compatibility with older Windows PCs, Android phones, and embedded players on the open web. MOV also sometimes carries timecode and alpha channels that MP4 cannot represent, so flatten those before exporting. WeLoveConvert performs the convert MOV to MP4 step locally through WebAssembly FFmpeg, so multi-gigabyte iPhone 4K clips stay on your device. For the cleanest output, keep the original resolution and frame rate and let the audio settle to 192 kbps AAC stereo.

Common Issues
- infoApple ProRes sources will be downgraded heavily to H.264 — keep a ProRes master if you plan to grade again.
- infoMulti-channel audio (5.1 or 7.1) often collapses to stereo unless you explicitly preserve the channel layout.
- infoAlpha channels and timecode tracks present in MOV are dropped — MP4 cannot represent transparent video.
- infoHDR metadata and color profiles may shift on older players, causing flat or oversaturated playback on some devices.
