Process files privately in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Open ToolFiles never leave your browser

Every iPhone records video in MOV format. That works fine within the Apple ecosystem, but the moment you need to share with Android users, upload to certain websites, or edit in Windows-based software, compatibility issues appear. With 65,000 monthly searches for "mov to mp4," this is one of the most common video conversion needs.

MiOffice converts MOV to MP4 entirely in your browser. No file upload, no server processing. FFmpeg WebAssembly handles the conversion locally on your device.

Common Scenarios

  • --iPhone to social media: Convert iPhone MOV recordings to MP4 for Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter uploads.
  • --Mac to Windows: Share videos with Windows users who cannot play MOV natively.
  • --Final Cut Pro exports: Convert Final Cut MOV exports to MP4 for broader distribution.
  • --Email attachments: MP4 files are typically smaller and more universally playable than MOV.

iPhone HDR Videos Looking Washed Out?

If your iPhone MOV videos look washed out after conversion, the issue is HDR (Dolby Vision). Use the HDR to SDR converter first to tone-map the colors, then convert to MP4. This produces natural-looking colors on all screens.

Privacy

Your MOV files stay on your device throughout the entire conversion. MiOffice uses FFmpeg WebAssembly for in-browser processing. No server upload, no data collection, no account required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are iPhone videos in MOV format?
Apple uses MOV (QuickTime) as the default video container for iPhones, iPads, and Macs. While MOV works perfectly in the Apple ecosystem, it has limited compatibility on Windows, Android, and many web platforms.
Does MOV to MP4 conversion lose quality?
With high quality settings, the visual difference is negligible. Both MOV and MP4 can use the same H.264/H.265 video codec. The conversion re-encodes the video with high-quality settings.
Can I convert multiple MOV files at once?
Yes. MiOffice supports batch conversion -- select up to 10 MOV files and convert them all to MP4 in one session.
How do I convert MOV to MP4 on Windows?
Open MiOffice in any browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox), upload your MOV file, and download the MP4. No software installation needed.
