How do I convert an AVI file to MOV?

Upload your AVI file to the converter. Select MOV as the output format and choose a codec: H.264 for smaller file sizes or ProRes for editing in Final Cut Pro. Click Convert, then download your MOV file once processing finishes.

Why should I convert AVI to MOV instead of keeping AVI?

AVI is an older container that often uses codecs like MJPEG or DivX, causing compatibility issues with Apple devices and editors. MOV is QuickTime's native format and supports modern codecs such as H.264, HEVC, and ProRes, providing better compression and smooth playback in macOS applications.

Will I lose video or audio quality when converting AVI to MOV?

If your AVI already uses MOV-compatible codecs, we copy the streams without re-encoding to preserve exact quality. When re-encoding is needed, we use high-bitrate settings for H.264 or ProRes while maintaining resolution, frame rate, color space, and audio parameters such as bitrate and sample rate, so you won't notice any quality loss.
