Convert MOV to MP4 without uploading your video
Select a MOV file, choose MP4 and set the quality. FigureOwl decodes and converts the video inside your browser, then gives you a local download. The source video and converted file are not sent to FigureOwl.
Choose MP4, WebM or MP3
MP4 uses H.264 video, AAC audio and a web-friendly pixel format for broad playback compatibility. WebM uses VP9 video and Opus audio for websites and compatible browsers. MP3 extracts the first audio track when you only need the sound.
Pick the right quality
High quality retains more visual detail but usually creates a larger file. Balanced is suitable for most sharing and website use. Smaller file applies stronger compression. Output size depends on the source codec, resolution, motion, duration and audio.
Why a MOV file may not preview
MOV is a container that can hold several video and audio codecs. Your browser may not play the original codec even when the converter can decode it. Conversely, an unusual professional-camera codec may not be supported by the browser conversion engine. If conversion fails, desktop video software may be required.
Browser conversion limits
Video conversion is CPU- and memory-intensive. This tool accepts one MOV file up to 200 MB and works best on a laptop or desktop with the tab kept open. It loads an approximately 32 MB WebAssembly conversion engine on first use. Large, long or high-resolution videos may take longer than their playing time, especially on phones.
Private by design
The conversion engine, source file and output stay in browser memory on your device. Closing or refreshing the tab clears the temporary working data. FigureOwl does not store the video, but your browser and device still need enough free memory to complete the job.
