Convert QuickTime (.mov) to MP4 right in your browser. No upload.
You don't need the internet. Disconnect and watch the tool work.
Simplest way to confirm your videos never leave this device:
Disconnect from the internet.
Note: the conversion engine (ffmpeg.wasm, ~30 MB) downloads once on first use, then runs entirely on your computer. After that first download, you can be fully offline.

Accepts QuickTime (.mov) — including iPhone HEVC and H.264 footage
Conversion runs locally via ffmpeg.wasm — the same engine VLC and YouTube use. Open the network tab. Zero uploads.
If your MOV file already contains H.264 video, we just rewrap it into an MP4 container — no re-encoding, no quality loss, near-instant.
Modern iPhone footage in HEVC transcodes to H.264 + AAC for maximum compatibility. CRF 18 default is visually lossless.
CloudConvert caps free users at 10 conversions/day. Zamzar limits at 50 MB. VEED watermarks. We don't do any of that.
Drop a 4 GB drone clip if you want. The only limit is your device's available memory — there's no upload step to choke on.
The engine downloads once, then runs forever. Turn off Wi-Fi to verify — conversion keeps working.

Yes. iPhone 7 and later record video as HEVC (H.265) inside a .mov container. Our ffmpeg.wasm engine decodes HEVC natively and transcodes to H.264 + AAC inside MP4 — the most widely compatible output.
If your source already contains H.264 (older iPhones, most QuickTime recordings), conversion is a fast remux — usually under a second. For HEVC sources requiring transcode, expect 10–60 seconds per minute of footage depending on resolution and CPU.
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Disconnect from Wi-Fi after the page loads to verify — the converter keeps working.
Neither. Plain .mp4 output. No backend means no caps — the only limit is your device's available memory.
If the source is H.264, we remux (copy the video stream into MP4 without re-encoding) — 100% lossless. For HEVC and other codecs, we transcode at CRF 18 by default, which is visually lossless for nearly all viewers.
That's how you know nothing leaves your computer.
CloudConvert, Zamzar, FreeConvert, VEED — they all send your video to a server. We don't. Conversion runs on your CPU, in your browser, via the same ffmpeg engine VLC and YouTube use.
