Why a paid converter is the one worth using
Free converters bury you in ads, cap your batch, watermark the result and make money from your files. Video to MOV Cyborg is paid for by you — so it works for you.
50 files in one batch
Convert up to 50 videos at once instead of one-at-a-time. No queue, no per-file wait.
Anonymous & private
No ad or analytics tracking on what you convert, and your files are never sold or shared for marketing.
Untouched picture, no watermark
No watermark burned into your video and no ads around the download, and no downscaling: the resolution and frame rate you upload are the ones you get. When your file already carries H.264, it is rewrapped rather than re-encoded, so the picture is bit-for-bit the original.

Free video converters exist because ads and your uploaded files pay for them — and they still cap you at a few videos, burn in a watermark, or quietly cut the resolution. Video to MOV Cyborg starts at €1 for a day, installs nothing, converts up to 50 files at once from 12 input formats, and never watermarks or downscales. No pop-ups, no ad tracking.
Every video format we convert to MOV
Phone clips, screen recordings, today's downloads, camera footage — 12 input formats in, one MOV out.

Phone & camera
MOV, 3GP and M4V
iPhone MOV clips and 3GP recordings. A MOV that already holds H.264 passes straight through; older 3GP is re-encoded so your editor will import it.
Windows classics
AVI and WMV
AVI and WMV files from old camcorders, screen recorders and archives. Neither carries a codec macOS still decodes, so in practice both are re-encoded to H.264 for the Apple side.
High-quality containers
MKV
MKV files rewrapped into QuickTime. MKV and MOV both commonly carry H.264, so this is usually a straight container swap with no quality loss at all — the fastest conversion here.
Web formats
WebM and FLV
WebM and FLV downloads. VP9, Opus and Sorenson Spark cannot go into a QuickTime container, so both are re-encoded to H.264 and AAC.
Legacy & broadcast
MPG and MPEG
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 from DVD rips and TV captures. QuickTime dropped MPEG-2 playback years ago, so these are re-encoded rather than rewrapped.
Animation
GIF
Animated GIFs turned into a real MOV video track — what an editor expects on a timeline, rather than a sequence of still images.
All 12 input formats: MP4, M4V, MOV, WMV, AVI, MKV, MPG, MPEG, GIF, FLV, 3GP, WEBM, up to 50 files a batch. Files already carrying H.264, HEVC, ProRes or MJPEG are copied into the QuickTime container untouched — no re-encode, no quality loss. Everything else is re-encoded to H.264 and AAC, because QuickTime and Final Cut cannot decode VP9, Sorenson Spark, Windows Media or MPEG-2 no matter what container they sit in.
Converting a specific format to MOV
The exact conversion you came for, and why you would do it.
AVI to MOV
Audio Video Interleave
AVI files, usually DivX. QuickTime 7 played that codec and modern macOS does not, so these are re-encoded to H.264 rather than rewrapped — otherwise Final Cut would refuse the file.
MP4 to MOV
MPEG-4 Part 14
The most common conversion here, and usually the cheapest: MP4 and MOV both carry H.264, so the video stream is copied into a QuickTime container untouched and the picture is bit-for-bit the original. If the soundtrack is in a format QuickTime cannot carry, only the audio is converted.
MKV to MOV
Matroska Video
MKV is the format your download is in; MOV is the one your editor wants. When the MKV already holds H.264, this is a pure container swap and is typically done in seconds rather than minutes.
WMV to MOV
Windows Media Video
Windows Media files converted for the Mac side. There has never been a Windows Media decoder in QuickTime, so this is always a real re-encode.
WEBM to MOV
WebM
WebM downloads. VP9 and Opus cannot go into a QuickTime container at all, so the file is fully re-encoded — without that step you get no output.
FLV to MOV
Flash Video
The old Flash container. Sorenson Spark video is unreadable to every Apple tool, so it is re-encoded to H.264 on the way in.
3GP to MOV
3GPP Multimedia
Small clips from older phones, brought up into a container an editor will import. The picture stays as small as it was recorded — converting up cannot add detail.
M4V to MOV
Apple MPEG-4 Video
Apple's MP4 variant, converted the same way and normally copied without re-encoding. DRM-protected M4V files bought from iTunes cannot be converted by any tool.
MPG to MOV
MPEG-1 / MPEG-2 Video
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 from DVD rips and TV captures, re-encoded to H.264 because QuickTime stopped decoding MPEG-2 years ago.
MPEG to MOV
Moving Picture Experts Group
The same MPEG-1/MPEG-2 video as a .mpg file, written with the longer extension — converted identically.
GIF to MOV
Graphics Interchange Format
An animated GIF turned into a proper MOV video track with real timing, rather than a stack of frames your editor treats as stills.

When you need MOV
MOV is Apple's container, so the reason is almost always something on the Mac side asking for it:
R
QuickTime Player
The default macOS player opens MOV instantly and refuses most of what people download from the web.
P
Premiere and After Effects
MOV is the safe interchange container on macOS, and avoids the codec arguments MKV imports tend to start.
F
Keynote and PowerPoint on Mac
Embedding video in a Mac presentation is reliable with MOV and unpredictable with almost anything else.
T
Handing files to a Mac user
If you do not know what software is at the other end, MOV is the one that will just open.
S
Footage from mixed sources
Getting a whole folder of downloads, screen recordings and camera files into one container before you start editing.
Whatever the source, drop up to 50 files and get MOV files back.
Need a different format — or a different tool?
Starting from a YouTube link rather than a file on your disk? Video Cyborg downloads the video first — this tool only takes files you already have. Want something phones and TVs play? Video to MP4. Archiving without a re-encode? Video to MKV. Just need it smaller? Compress Video.
Common questions
Getting started
What is Video to MOV Cyborg?
Video to MOV Cyborg converts video files — MP4, M4V, WMV, AVI, MKV, MPG, MPEG, GIF, FLV, 3GP and WebM — to MOV, Apple's QuickTime container. Drop your videos in and it hands them back ready for Final Cut, iMovie, Premiere or QuickTime Player, up to 50 at a time.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Video to MOV Cyborg runs in your browser — no extension, no software, no permissions. The conversion happens on our servers, so even a phone gets through a big batch without slowing down.
What devices and browsers are supported?
Video to MOV Cyborg works in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS 12 or later. Because the work happens server-side, a phone or tablet converts just as fast as a desktop.
Why is this better than a browser extension?
Four reasons: there is nothing to install and no browser permissions to grant; you can convert 50 files in one batch instead of one at a time; conversion runs on our servers, so it doesn’t slow your machine down or depend on your hardware; and we don’t sell or share your files, which is how most “free” extensions are funded.
Formats, batches & quality
Which formats can I convert to MOV?
MP4, M4V, MOV, WMV, AVI, MKV, MPG, MPEG, GIF, FLV, 3GP and WEBM — 12 formats in total. MOV is accepted as an input too, which is useful when you have a MOV holding a codec your editor refuses and you want it re-encoded to plain H.264.
Should I use MOV or MP4?
MOV if the file is going into Final Cut, iMovie or another Mac application; MP4 if it is going anywhere else. Both usually hold exactly the same H.264 video — the difference is the container, not the picture — but MP4 plays on far more devices and websites, while MOV is what Apple software expects and supports extras like ProRes and timecode that MP4 handles poorly. A useful rule: MOV to edit on a Mac, MP4 to share.
Can I convert a YouTube video to MOV here?
Not directly — this tool converts files you already have on your computer, so there is nowhere to paste a link. Download the video first with Video Cyborg, which does take a URL, then drop the downloaded file here. Both tools are in the same account, so it costs nothing extra.
Can I turn images, SVG or a PDF into a MOV?
No. This tool converts video files, so a still image, an SVG or a PDF page has nothing for it to work with — there is no footage in them to convert. The one exception is an animated GIF, which does contain motion and becomes a real MOV video track. Building a video out of still images is a different job entirely, and not one any tool here does.
How many videos can I convert at once?
Up to 50 files per batch. Drop them all in at once — no queue, no per-file waiting. There’s no limit on how many batches you can run while your pass or plan is active.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed size cap. Large videos simply take longer to upload and process, so use a stable connection for big files.
Does converting lose quality?
Often none at all. When your file already carries H.264, HEVC, ProRes or MJPEG — which covers most MP4, MKV, M4V and MOV sources — the video stream is copied into the QuickTime container untouched, and the picture is bit-for-bit identical to what you uploaded. If only the soundtrack is in a format QuickTime cannot carry, the picture is still copied and just the audio is converted. Files carrying anything else are genuinely re-encoded to H.264 at a high quality setting, because QuickTime and Final Cut cannot decode VP9, Sorenson Spark, Windows Media or MPEG-2 in any container. That affects AVI, WMV, WebM, FLV, MPG and 3GP sources. Nothing is ever downscaled and we never add a watermark.
How do I get the best possible quality?
Start from the highest-quality original you have rather than an already-compressed copy. If your source is an MP4 or MKV holding H.264, you will get a lossless rewrap and the question does not arise; if it is an AVI or WMV that has already been through two or three services, the re-encode will show that.
Can I adjust the output settings?
Not for now — Video to MOV Cyborg runs one standard conversion, and copies the stream untouched whenever it can, so there is no bitrate or codec to get wrong. If you need a smaller file, run the MOV through Compress Video Cyborg.
Pricing, privacy & limits
How much does it cost?
A €1 day pass gives you 24 hours of unlimited conversions. Yearly (€6) and lifetime (€30) plans are also available (+ VAT). Every plan unlocks all 78 AppsCyborg tools, not just this one.
How long does my download link stay valid?
60 minutes. After that the link expires and the converted files are removed — just re-run the conversion if you need them again.
Do you track or keep my files?
No. We don’t run ad or analytics tracking on what you convert, and your files are never sold or shared for marketing. Uploaded videos are processed only to build your MOV files and are removed once the 60-minute download window closes.
Is there a limit on how often I can convert?
No. While your day pass, yearly or lifetime plan is active you can run as many 50-file batches as you like — there is no monthly quota and no per-conversion charge.
Can I convert MOV back to another format?
Yes, with the matching converter — this one goes to MOV. Video to MP4 Cyborg takes MOV and produces MP4 for phones, TVs and the web, and Video to MKV Cyborg archives it without re-encoding. Both are in your account.
