MOV to MP4 — frequently asked questions
Is this MOV to MP4 converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits.
Will I lose quality converting to MP4?
MP4 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.
Will I lose video quality?
No. We re-encode using H.264 at a high bit rate, so the visual difference from the original MOV is imperceptible.
Is the conversion private?
Video conversion runs on our servers with ffmpeg — your file is deleted immediately and never stored.
