Convert a MOV File to MP4
MOV to MP4 converter takes a QuickTime video, an iPhone recording, or a Mac screen recording, and gives it back as an MP4 that plays on Windows, Android, and the web. Upload the file and download the converted copy, no software or account setup beyond signing in.
What you get:
- A MOV file converted to MP4, original resolution and framerate kept
- Files up to 2 GB in the free online tool on this page, with no set file size limit in the app
- bulk upload of multiple files, so several MOV files convert in one batch
- A transcript of the audio, with speaker labels, in 100+ languages
- AI chat with any recording, so you can ask the converted video a question instead of watching it back
- Export the transcript as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT
- Free plan: 3 uploads, lifetime, each with the transcript and AI chat included
How to Convert MOV to MP4
- Upload your MOV file: from a computer, phone, or tablet. The free online tool on this page takes files up to 2 GB; the ScreenApp app has no set file size limit.
- Let it process: the file converts to MP4 and the audio transcribes at the same time. Both are ready in your library once processing finishes.
- Download the MP4: open the file and download it. The transcript, speaker labels, and AI chat are attached to the same recording.
The MP4 keeps the source file’s resolution and framerate, so a 4K iPhone recording stays 4K and a lower-resolution screen capture stays as recorded: converting the container does not add detail that was never recorded. Transcript quality follows the audio: clear narration transcribes cleanly, and a recording with wind noise or crosstalk will have more gaps. See how we measure accuracy.

Who Converts MOV to MP4
iPhone and Mac users record video in MOV by default and need MP4 to share with Windows users or upload to platforms that reject the QuickTime container. Converting once removes the compatibility problem.
Video editors and content creators pull MOV footage into editing software that expects MP4. Converting first means the clip drops into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or a web-based editor without a format error.
Social media managers prepare Mac and iPhone recordings for upload. Many platforms accept MP4 more reliably than MOV, so converting first avoids a failed or re-encoded upload.
Business professionals share screen recordings, demos, and training videos captured on a Mac with teams on Windows, or upload them to a shared drive that expects MP4.
Educators and students convert lecture recordings and course videos captured on an iPhone or iPad so the file plays on any classroom device or learning platform.
