Never worry about incompatible video types or overly heavy file sizes. With Canva’s online video format converter, you can turn any .MOV clip into the more universally accepted .MP4 format.
Traditional video conversion methods take a lot of work and multiple devices. Now, you can do everything—and more—with one platform.
Canva’s .MOV to .MP4 converter works well on both desktop and mobile. No more switching between devices or buying expensive video editing software. Our converter is easy and completely free to use, giving you the same high-quality results for way less hassle and cost.
From photo gallery to the world wide web
Have you ever been excited to post the perfect snippet, only to find out it’s too big or in the wrong format? With this nifty .MOV to .MP4 converter, you can turn any clip into the more platform-friendly .MP4 format. You’ll always be able to upload videos online, whether for social media or specialized websites.
Optimized for sharing and storage
Canva automatically finds the best balance between video resolution and file size so you’re never stuck with a gigantic file you can’t upload or a blurry clip that looks like it was filmed with a toaster. The converter gets rid of any unnecessary data that can inflate the file size and retains only what’s needed to keep the original resolution intact.
From rough cut to final render
While there are plenty of other video converters online, Canva has the added advantage of also being a video editor(opens in a new tab or window). You can essentially do the entire video editing process on the same platform, without the need for additional software or third-party resource providers. More importantly, you can upload multiple file formats, edit them all together, and download one final .MP4 video without needing to convert each clip individually.
How-to convert from .MOV to .MP4
Frequently asked questions
Canva offers a convenient yet comprehensive .MOV to .MP4 converter, making it the perfect choice for your various video editing needs. You can make quick and easy conversions, simply changing from one format to another. Or you can dive into a full-blown editing and post-processing project, doing everything from the very first rough cut all the way through to rendering. The biggest advantage of Canva is that it is both a video converter and video editor all in one.
Traditionally, yes. These days, not necessarily.
Back in the day, converting videos from one format typically led to significant quality loss due to the way different file types store and process data. Converting to simpler formats like .MP4 was especially susceptible to a decrease in resolution, as it could not store as much data as the .MOV format.
Today, smarter video processing technology has mitigated many of these problems, and you can convert MOV to MP4 without losing much quality. Though quality loss still happens, it is to a considerably lesser degree that, at times, is practically negligible. Moreover, many video converting tools also now allow custom rendering, so users can decide the quality or file size they want for their videos.
MP4 is a widely supported format that works on all devices and platforms, making it the best (or, at least, safest) choice in terms of compatibility, storage, and sharing.
Though MOV is also generally accepted on social media, this is not always the case with other platforms or websites. For instance, online job application forms or company websites tend to prefer the smaller .MP4 format or set a file size limit for other file types, as they use a smaller server.
In general, your safest bet will always be to save your video files in .MP4 format, especially if you are not sure what file type the platform will accept.
