Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert MP4 to MOV on a Mac for free?
Upload your MP4, choose a preset: Remux wraps the stream in a MOV container instantly when codecs are compatible; High re-encodes to H.264 for editing; ProRes outputs an editing-friendly MOV for Final Cut Pro and iMovie.
What is the difference between remux and re-encode?
Remux copies audio and video streams into a new MOV container without re-encoding — fastest and lossless when supported. Re-encode decodes and encodes again, which can improve compatibility or quality at the cost of time and generation loss.
Why use MOV instead of MP4 on Mac?
MOV is Apple’s preferred container for QuickTime and many pro Mac workflows. Some editors and older tools expect MOV for timecode, ProRes, or legacy QuickTime features.
Is MP4 to MOV lossless?
Remux mode is lossless when your MP4 uses codecs that can be copied into MOV. Re-encoded modes are visually high quality but not bitwise identical to the source.
