HEVC to MOV

HEVC to MOV features

• 01

  Works in legacy Apple software

  Older Macs, older Final Cut versions, and some Keynote builds stumble on HEVC even when the container is .mov. Re-encoding to H.264 MOV keeps the QuickTime-native extension while fixing codec-level compatibility.

• 02

  Quality slider for fine control

  Use the 1–100 slider to balance file size against visual fidelity. A setting of 75–85 produces results indistinguishable from the source on most displays, while higher values preserve every detail.

  Powered by FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, conversion happens locally on your device. Your video never touches a server and nothing is logged.

HEVC to MOV FAQ

How do I convert HEVC to MOV?

Drop your HEVC file (often a .mov or .mp4 from your iPhone, or a .hevc file) onto the upload area, adjust the quality slider if needed, then click Convert. Download the MOV file when conversion is complete.

My iPhone video is already a .mov — why convert it?

iPhone .mov files since iOS 11 usually contain HEVC (H.265). The extension is MOV but the codec is the problem. Re-encoding to H.264 keeps the .mov extension but makes the file work in older editors, Keynote, and Windows-side QuickTime.

Why convert HEVC to MOV instead of MP4?

Choose MOV when you're staying inside the Apple ecosystem — Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Keynote — and want the QuickTime-native extension. Choose MP4 if you need maximum cross-platform compatibility.

Will I lose quality converting HEVC to MOV?

Some, since the video stream is re-encoded from H.265 to H.264. At a quality setting of 80 or above, the difference is barely perceptible. The MOV will usually be larger than the HEVC source because H.264 is less efficient at compression.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. The converter runs entirely inside your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your video files never leave your device and nothing is stored or logged.
