Why are MOV files so big?

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.

Should I convert MOV to MP4?

When editing, it may be better to keep your videos in MOV format. However, when it comes to uploading your videos online, it is best to convert them to MP4 first, because it is the most compatible of all video formats. MP4 is a widely-used format and is smaller than most video file types.

How do I convert from MOV to MP4?

When you use our video editing or compression tools, your videos will be automatically converted to MP4 format.

How can I send a large MOV file via email?

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.

What they say about VEED

Veed is a great piece of browser software with the best team I've ever seen. Veed allows for subtitling, editing, effect/text encoding, and many more advanced features that other editors just can't compete with. The free version is wonderful, but the Pro version is beyond perfect. Keep in mind that this a browser editor we're talking about and the level of quality that Veed allows is stunning and a complete game changer at worst.
