MOV
MOV is the default video format for videos taken using iPhones, MacBooks, and other Apple devices. You can upload MOV files to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
MOV uses an MPEG4 container file format that stores multiple tracks including audio and video tracks, and text. MOV is most commonly used for saving movies and other video files. It is designed primarily for QuickTime Player which is the native media player on Apple Devices. It is sometimes also referred to as 'iMovie video'.
MKV
MKV contains video, audio, and text files. You can upload MKV files to Facebook and YouTube, but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram. It is compatible with VLC media player.
The Matroska Video or MKV supports an unlimited number of video, audio, and subtitle tracks. It is free to use and is best for independent creators. MKV files are not compatible with Mac and must be converted before they can be played on Apple's QuickTime Player.
