convert iphone video to mp4
iPhones record video in MOV by default, which works seamlessly across Apple's own ecosystem but can run into friction the moment you need to share, edit, or upload that footage somewhere that expects MP4. This page walks through converting an iPhone-recorded video to the more universally compatible format.

Depending on your iPhone's camera settings, the MOV file might contain H.264 or HEVC (H.265) video. Newer iPhones default to HEVC for storage efficiency, which is great for keeping footage small on your device but is exactly the codec that causes the most playback issues elsewhere. Converting to this tool's H.264 MP4 output resolves that regardless of which codec your original recording used.
This matters for more than just Windows playback — some video editing software, older Android devices, and certain upload forms for websites and apps handle MP4 far more predictably than MOV, especially when the MOV contains HEVC. Converting once, before you need to use the file anywhere specific, avoids running into the problem repeatedly across different apps.
If you're converting several clips from a recent trip or event, note this tool processes one file at a time — there's no batch upload here, so plan for converting each clip individually rather than expecting to select a folder of MOV files at once.
The conversion keeps your video's original resolution and, with the default CRF around 20, stays close to the source quality — this is meant to be a compatibility fix, not a compression pass, though you can raise the CRF if a smaller file matters more than maximum quality for your use case.
Top benefits
- Fix the specific HEVC/MOV compatibility issues that affect newer iPhone recordings.
- Convert directly in your browser with no software or app to install.
- Keep your video's original resolution and close-to-source quality by default.
How to apply this keyword workflow

FAQ
Why does my iPhone record in MOV instead of MP4?
MOV is Apple's native video container, optimized for its own ecosystem. It works great across Apple devices but isn't always as compatible elsewhere, which is why converting to MP4 is often necessary for sharing or uploading.
Does this work for both H.264 and HEVC iPhone videos?
Yes, regardless of which codec your original MOV file used, the output is always standard H.264 MP4, which resolves compatibility issues either way.
Can I convert multiple iPhone videos at once?
No, this tool processes one file at a time. Upload, convert, and download each clip individually.
Will this reduce my video's resolution?
No, resolution stays the same as your original recording. Only the CRF quality slider affects the encoding, not the resolution.
Is my iPhone video uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly, which matters for personal phone recordings.
