What is the difference between MP4 and MOV?
MP4 and MOV are both containers: MP4 plays almost everywhere, while MOV (Apple’s QuickTime) is friendlier in editors on macOS/iOS. Some containers match between the codecs. For example, if your MP4 already uses H.264 (video) and AAC (audio), we just rewrap it to MOV with no quality loss at Converter App; otherwise, we transcode — converting between codecs — aiming for no visible quality loss. Which is better? Use MP4 for reach since it’s the most popular; choose MOV for easier editing on Mac.
How can I convert MP4 to MOV for free?
You are in the right place: simply use Converter App! Click Choose file, pick your MP4, and we start converting automatically. When the status shows Done, download the MOV. The conversion here is free and requires no sign-up. Plus: if possible we keep the original frame rate and resolution to match the original videos quality.
Which software converts MP4 to MOV on Windows?
On Windows, VLC can save an MP4 as MOV. Open Media, then Convert/Save, add the file, choose or make a profile with H.264 video and AAC audio, and save with a .mov extension. Prefer the command line? FFmpeg can often rewrap without quality loss: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mov. If that MOV does not play everywhere, do a compatibility transcode: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -movflags +faststart output.mov.
