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'.
AVI
AVI is the most compatible video format for Windows devices. You can upload it to Facebook and YouTube, but not to other mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
AVI files tend to be larger in size (because they use less compression than video formats like MP4). The most compatible media player for AVI videos is VLC. AVI is not compatible with QuickTime (the default player on Apple devices). AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. AVI files can contain audio and video content, as well as codecs for DVD and XVid.
