What is MOV?

MOV is a video file format that was developed by Apple, for use in their QuickTime video player and editor. It’s compatible with many other players, however, and is a popular video file format. MOV is often compared to MP4 since they’re both so popular, but MOV files are usually larger and contain higher-quality resolution than MP4 videos. Most streaming platforms use MP4, however.

QuickTime isn’t the only player compatible with MOV. You can also play an MOV video with Windows Media Player, VLC, Adobe Premiere Rush, Blu-Ray Player for Mac and on Google Drive. MOV files can contain multiple tracks that hold video, audio, text and more.

What is MP4?

MP4 is one of the most widely used video file formats. You can upload MP4 videos to popular social media sites like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and Facebook. Media players like Windows Media Player, VLC, QuickTime, iPhone, iPad and Android are also compatible with MP4 video files.

MP4s are popular not only for their compatibility with most devices but also for their ability to hold high-resolution videos without taking up much storage space. MP4 stands for MPEG4, and an MP4 file can contain video, audio, images and subtitles.
