What is MOV?
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, the default format for iPhone recordings and Final Cut Pro exports. It supports high-quality codecs such as ProRes and HEVC, but outside the Apple ecosystem it is less universally supported than MP4.
What is AAC?
AAC is the successor to MP3 and generally sounds better at the same bitrate. It is the audio format behind Apple Music, YouTube and most MP4 videos, and it is supported by all modern phones and browsers.
Tips for converting MOV to AAC
- Only the soundtrack of your MOV file goes into the AAC; the picture is discarded.
- For music or podcasts choose 192 or 320 kbps under Advanced options; the automatic setting is enough for speech.
- Long videos still take a while to process, and the MOV upload itself must fit the 50MB free limit.
- Keep the original video: the audio file cannot be turned back into it.
