About the MOV format

MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, and technically the elder sibling of MP4 — same ISO base media format, same codec freedom. What sets it apart is professional video: ProRes intermediate codecs, timecode tracks and alpha channels live in MOV, which is why Final Cut, Premiere and every camera that shoots Apple ProRes hand you MOV files.

For everyday sharing it behaves exactly like MP4 (an H.264 MOV is interchangeable in practice). Where it hurts is size: ProRes and other editing codecs run hundreds of gigabytes per hour by design — they prioritize frame-accurate editing over compactness.

+ Strengths

  • ✓Native to macOS, iOS and pro editing suites
  • ✓Carries ProRes, alpha and timecode tracks
  • ✓MP4-compatible for standard codecs

! Limitations

  • −Editing codecs produce enormous files
  • −ProRes playback needs capable hardware/players

Frequently asked questions

Is this XI to MOV converter really free?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.

Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?

Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.

Is there a file size limit for XI to MOV?

The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.

Will converting XI to MOV reduce audio quality?

If MOV is lossless, the output contains everything the XI file contains — no further loss is added. If MOV is lossy, one recompression pass is unavoidable; the quality slider controls how much. Loss that already happened in the source file can never be undone by converting.

Can I convert a whole folder of XI files?

You can select many files at once and they are processed in a single batch. Output files land in one ZIP download when there is more than one result.
