How to use mov to mp4
- Choose a MOV file. Keep a copy of your original camera or screen recording.
- Select dimensions appropriate for the website or player where the MP4 will appear, then convert.
- Check orientation, colour, motion and audio in the MP4 preview. Download it or use Host on FooPixel.
MOV files can contain different codecs
The .mov extension identifies a container, not one specific encoding. A phone recording and a professional editing export can both be MOV files while requiring different decoders. If the codec is unavailable in the browser engine, use a desktop converter to create a compatible MP4.
Check camera footage carefully
Phone and camera recordings may include rotation information, HDR colour or additional tracks. This tool is intended for practical web exports, not a colour-managed mastering workflow. Inspect faces, highlights and orientation after conversion, and keep the original for editing.
Use the export at the size it is needed
A gallery preview rarely needs the same dimensions as a full-screen master. Resize for the actual display and use a still thumbnail before playback. After conversion, the preview generator can extract a WebP frame from the MP4.

Common questions
Can I just rename .mov to .mp4?
No. Renaming changes the label, not the container or codecs. Use a conversion when your destination requires a compatible MP4.
Will this preserve HDR exactly?
Do not rely on this browser tool to preserve an HDR mastering workflow. Review the exported colours and use a dedicated editor when colour accuracy is critical.
Can I convert a long camera recording?
Processing time and available memory depend on the device. Start with a short clip; large professional recordings are better suited to a desktop conversion workflow.
Is it free and private to use?
You can process and download files for free without an account. The browser may download processing software, but your source media stays on your device. Only choosing Host on FooPixel uploads the generated output, which becomes publicly accessible after validation.
