How to Convert MOV to MP4 (iPhone Video for Any Device)

iPhone records video in MOV format. Most of the non-Apple world can't play it properly. MP4 fixes that. Upload your file to MegaConvert.io and select MP4 — done in seconds, free, no signup.

The Problem

You recorded a video on your iPhone and want to share it. But the .mov file won't play on your friend's Android phone, the office Windows PC shows audio but no video, and Instagram rejects the upload. MOV is Apple's format — great within the ecosystem, problematic outside it.

Why Convert MOV to MP4?

• MOV is Apple-only — won't play properly on Windows, Android, or many Smart TVs.
• Social media — YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn all prefer MP4.
• Smaller files — MP4 with H.264 encoding is typically more compact than MOV.
• Email — MP4 is easier to attach and streams inline in most email clients.

How to Convert Online

1. Go to megaconvert.io/mov-to-mp4.
2. Drag and drop your .mov file.
3. Download your .mp4 file.

No account needed. No watermarks. Files auto-delete after 1 hour for privacy.
