MOV · processed privately, never uploaded
MOV is Apple's QuickTime format, what your iPhone records by default. It plays well on Apple devices but is often large and less compatible elsewhere. Converting to MP4 makes it smaller and playable everywhere, all on your device.
Why iPhone videos are MOV
iPhones and QuickTime save video as MOV. On Apple devices it's seamless, but MOV files are frequently large and can stumble on Android phones, Windows apps, and some upload forms. MP4 uses the same underlying H.264 video most of the time, so converting is usually a lightweight rewrap-and-encode that produces a smaller, universally accepted file without a visible quality drop.
Shrinking big iPhone clips
Phone video, especially 4K or 60fps, produces hefty MOV files. If your destination doesn't need full resolution, cap it at 1080p or 720p to cut the size sharply. Keep quality High to preserve detail, or lower it to Balanced or Small to meet an email or chat limit. This is the fastest way to get a large iPhone recording under Gmail's 25 MB attachment cap or Discord's 10 MB free limit.
Where the MP4 helps
The converted MP4 uploads cleanly to sites that reject MOV, shares easily with Android users, embeds in presentations, and imports into editors that prefer MP4. Aspect ratio is preserved, a vertical iPhone clip stays vertical, so if you need a different shape for a platform, resize separately after converting.
Tips

- Converting to MP4 helps a large iPhone clip fit under Gmail's 25 MB or Discord's 10 MB limit.
- MP4 shares more reliably with Android users than MOV does.
- Aspect ratio is kept, resize afterward if a platform needs a different shape.
