FAQ
MOV is a video format developed by Apple, compatible with Apple’s QuickTime Player. MOV files can store high-quality video and audio, which is why many professional video editors and content creators love them.
MOV files can either be lossless or lossy, depending on what codec was used.
MOV is better for video quality while MP4 is ideal for keeping your video file size small and easily shareable to different devices & across different platforms.
Whether or not you should convert MOV to MP4 depends on where you are in your video creation process. When editing, it may be better to keep your videos as MOV. But when sharing your videos, via email for example, it’s best to convert them to MP4 as that’s the most compatible video format.
Trim your video or use an online video compressor like VEED.

MOV is developed by Apple for use with the QuickTime player. When you record videos using your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, they will be saved in .mov format. The same as when you edit any video on iMovie. MOV files are larger because they are designed to retain the details that the camera captures—making them more suitable for editing.
When you use our video editing or compression tools, your videos will be automatically converted to MP4 format.
The file size limit for most mail servers is between 20 and 25MB. If you want to send large MOV files, the best thing to do is to compress them using a MOV compressor.
