Compress MOV (QuickTime) videos online

MOV files from iPhones and cameras are notoriously large. Drop one below and CompressEasy re-encodes it in your browser into a much smaller, widely compatible MP4 while keeping it crisp. Nothing is uploaded.

MOV files up to 200 MB are compressed in your browser. iPhone HEVC clips that your browser cannot decode, and larger files, open in the free desktop app.

How it works

  1. Drop your MOV files into the box above.
  2. Select a compression strength.
  3. Download the smaller MP4.

Tame heavy iPhone footage

High-resolution MOV recordings can be hundreds of megabytes per minute. Re-encoding to H.264 at a sensible bitrate cuts that dramatically so clips are easy to store, send and back up.

MOV in, compact MP4 out

Output is H.264 MP4 for maximum compatibility, so the smaller files play smoothly on Android, Windows, the web and editing tools that struggle with QuickTime.

Private by design

Personal videos stay on your device — there is no server involved, which matters for family footage and confidential recordings.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my MOV file so large?

MOV from phones and cameras often uses a high bitrate and resolution. Re-encoding to an optimized H.264 MP4 keeps the look while removing data you cannot see.

My iPhone video says it cannot be decoded. Why?

Newer iPhones record in HEVC (H.265). Safari and Chrome on Mac decode it fine; some Windows and Linux browsers do not. In that case the free desktop app compresses it offline.

Do I lose the original?

No. The browser produces a new file for download and never modifies the original on your device.
