How to convert MOV to MP4 on Windows
- 1
Select your MOV files
In File Explorer or on the desktop, select one MOV file or as many as you like. The first time, Filee offers to download FFmpeg, the free engine it uses for this conversion.

Drop on MP4
Release the files over MP4. A progress ring counts up, and each MP4 file is saved next to its original.
What Filee does for MOV → MP4
iPhone and Mac videos are MOV files. As MP4 they play on Android phones, smart TVs, older Windows apps and upload forms that reject MOV. The video and sound usually fit MP4 as they are, so Filee only rewraps them: no quality lost, HDR kept, done in seconds. The MP4 720p preset shrinks 4K clips for sharing.
- Uses FFmpeg, a free optional engine that Filee downloads once into its own folder (about 100 MB). If FFmpeg is already on your PC, Filee uses it and nothing is downloaded.
- When the new format can hold the video and sound as they are (an iPhone MOV → MP4), they are only rewrapped: no quality lost, HDR kept, done in seconds.
- Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
- Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
- Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.
MOV can also become
- WEBM
- MKV
