What Filee does for MOV → MP4
iPhone and Mac videos are MOV files. As MP4 they play on Android phones, smart TVs, older Windows apps and upload forms that reject MOV, and the MP4 720p preset shrinks 4K clips for sharing.
- Uses FFmpeg, a free optional engine that Filee downloads once into its own folder (about 100 MB). Programs installed on your PC are never used.
- Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
- Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
- Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.
MOV can also become
- WEBM
- MKV
- AVI
- GIF
- MP3
- M4A
