MOV compression usually creates MP4

MOV is common for phone and camera footage. For sharing, a compressed MP4 is usually smaller and easier to play.

What happens to your file? It stays in this browser tab while the tool creates the output.

Best settings and limits

Best first try

Use 720p for a normal shareable video. Use 480p for stronger size reduction.

When this may fail

Large 4K MOV files can be too heavy for browser memory. Desktop Chrome is the safest first try.

Privacy boundary

The selected video file stays on your device while the tool creates the output.
