Video converters
iPhone and Mac recordings are often saved as MOV, which some sites and Windows apps handle badly. MP4 plays almost everywhere. Short clips also make good GIFs for chats and documentation.
Video conversion runs in your browser, so the clip is not uploaded. Large videos take longer because your own device does the work.
Tools in this category
Which tool do I need?
- A video a website or app won't accept: MOV to MP4.
- A short looping clip for a chat or a how-to: MP4 to GIF.
Common jobs
Questions
- Why is my GIF bigger than the MP4?
- GIF is an old format with weak compression. Keep clips short to keep the file small.
- Is my video uploaded?
- No. Video conversion happens in your browser.
- Is sound kept in a GIF?
- No. GIF has no audio track.
