Built-in options on macOS
Vidverter is the quickest way to get real .mp4 files with H.264, for many videos at once.
- QuickTime Player: File → Export As saves MOV only, not MP4.
- iMovie: create a project, then Share → File exports MP4. Fine for one video, slow for many.
- Finder: right-click → Encode Selected Video Files creates .m4v/.mov files with HEVC or H.264.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Vidverter runs entirely in your browser and uses your device's own video encoders. Files never leave your computer or phone, so it is safe for private recordings, and there is no upload or download wait.
Can I convert screen recordings?
Yes. macOS screen recordings are MOV files and convert to MP4 like any other video.
