Need an old 3GP clip in iMovie, Final Cut Pro or another Apple app? Converting to MOV wraps it in Apple's native container with modern codecs, so it imports and edits cleanly.
3GP vs MOV at a glance
3GP is a stripped-down MP4 variant designed for 2G/3G mobile networks — small file sizes at low quality, rarely needed now that every phone records in MP4. MOV is Apple's native video container — high quality from iOS and macOS apps, but rarely supported outside the Apple ecosystem.

3GP to MOV — frequently asked questions
Is this 3GP to MOV converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits.
Will I lose quality converting to MOV?
MOV uses lossy compression, so the image is re-encoded at high quality (92%). For photos the difference is practically invisible; for text-heavy graphics or logos, a lossless format like PNG preserves sharp edges better.
Is the conversion private?
Video conversion runs on our servers with ffmpeg — your file is deleted immediately and never stored.
