To maintain the best quality when converting MOV to MP4, follow these tips:
- Select "Original Resolution" in the quality settings
- Choose "High" video quality to maintain maximum detail
- Select H.264 codec for better compatibility or H.265 for better compression without quality loss
- Choose a higher audio bitrate (192kbps or 320kbps) if audio quality is important

Yes, CloudConvert supports batch conversion, allowing you to upload and convert multiple MOV files simultaneously. You can select multiple files during the upload process or drag and drop several files at once. For free users, there's a limit on the number of concurrent conversions, while premium users can convert more files in parallel and enjoy faster processing speeds.
MP4 is generally better than MOV for sharing videos for several reasons:
- MP4 has broader compatibility across different platforms and devices
- MP4 files are typically smaller than MOV files with comparable quality
- MP4 is the standard format for online streaming and social media platforms
- MP4 works well on both Windows and Mac, while MOV is primarily designed for Apple products
- Most modern video players and editors support MP4 natively
With our default high-quality settings, there should be no noticeable quality loss when converting from MOV to MP4. Both formats support high-quality video compression. However, if you choose lower quality settings to reduce file size, there might be some reduction in quality. CloudConvert offers advanced settings that allow you to control the quality vs. file size trade-off according to your specific needs.
No, CloudConvert is a web-based service, so you don't need to install any software. All conversions happen in the cloud, and you can access our service from any device with a web browser. This makes it convenient for users on any operating system, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Simply upload your MOV file, select MP4 as the output format, adjust settings if needed, and download the converted file when it's ready.
Conversion time depends on several factors, including the file size, video length, selected quality settings, and our current server load. Small videos (under 100MB) typically convert in less than a minute. Larger files may take several minutes. Premium users receive priority processing, which can be up to 5 times faster than the free conversion service. You'll receive a notification when your conversion is complete, and you can also use our API for programmatic conversions.
