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.
