AVI vs MOV, in short
AVI is an old Windows video format from the 1990s. Older cameras, screen recorders and archives still produce it, but phones and most websites don't play it.
MOV is Apple's video format: iPhones, Macs, QuickTime and Final Cut save to it. Outside Apple's apps, some Windows programs and upload forms don't take it.
The video is re-encoded to H.264 video with AAC sound, which Apple apps and editors open directly. That runs on your own device, in the browser, so it takes a while for longer videos.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Does converting AVI to MOV lose quality?
It's re-encoded once, at good quality settings. Most people won't see a difference.
Is the sound kept?
Yes. The audio track comes along with the video.
How long does it take?
It depends on the length: re-encoding in the browser uses one processor core, so expect a minute or more per minute of video.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It's processed in your browser, on your own device, and never leaves it.
