Processing runs locally in Chrome. Video bytes, frames, thumbnails, filenames and paths are not uploaded for conversion.

What changes from MP4 to MOV

MP4 source

MP4 is the broad-compatibility delivery choice for browsers, forms and everyday playback.

MOV output

MOV is useful in Apple-oriented editing and QuickTime workflows.

Codec and compatibility

It uses H.264 video and AAC audio in this extension.

Audio

AAC audio is retained when the selected source track can be processed.

Prepare a handoff for an Apple-oriented workflow

Choose MOV when a QuickTime, iMovie or Final Cut workflow prefers that container for review, organization or downstream editing. Keep the original MP4 until the receiving project accepts the copy.

MOV is not a quality upgrade

Both files can carry H.264 and AAC. Rewrapping or re-encoding into MOV does not restore detail already absent from MP4, and another encoding pass can slightly change visible quality.

Limitations

Input decoding and output encoding depend on the source codec, Chrome version and device capabilities.
Changing the container normally re-encodes the video; it is not a lossless filename change.
The result can be larger or smaller depending on duration, motion, audio, resolution and codec efficiency.

Frequently asked questions

Does renaming .mp4 to .mov convert the file?

No. The source must be decoded and a real output container must be created.

Is the video uploaded?

No. The selected video is processed locally in Chrome.

Is the original changed?

No. The extension creates a separate output and leaves the original untouched.
