How to convert MOV to MP4
MOV is the native video container created by Apple QuickTime and used as the default recording format on iPhones, iPads, and Mac screen recordings. It plays perfectly on Apple devices but often fails on Windows media players, Android phones, and most video sharing platforms that expect MP4. Converting to MP4 makes the video universally compatible without any visible difference in quality.
BoltConverter converts MOV files on our servers using H.264 encoding inside an MP4 container, which is the most widely supported video format available. The audio track is preserved, the video quality stays sharp, and the file size is typically comparable to the original MOV. Your file is deleted from our servers the moment the download completes.

Frequently asked questions
Will converting MOV to MP4 reduce video quality?
The conversion involves re-encoding the video, which introduces a small quality reduction. In practice the difference is not visible at normal viewing sizes. If you need lossless preservation, MOV is the better choice for editing; MP4 is for compatibility and sharing.
What is the maximum file size?
BoltConverter accepts MOV files up to 2 GB for video conversion.
Will the audio track be included in the MP4?
Yes. The audio track from the original MOV file is preserved in the converted MP4.
Why does my MOV not play on Windows?
Windows Media Player does not include Apple QuickTime codecs by default. MOV files encoded with Apple ProRes, HEVC, or certain other codecs will fail or play without sound. MP4 with H.264 plays in every Windows media player without extra codecs.
Is it free?
Yes, free with no account required. Large video files are accepted without a paywall.
