Information on formats

MOV

MOV is Apple's multimedia container format, introduced as part of the QuickTime framework. It is widely used for professional video production, recording and editing thanks to its ability to store high-quality video, multiple audio tracks, subtitles and metadata within a single file.

The format supports modern codecs such as H.264, H.265 (HEVC) and Apple ProRes, making it a popular choice for video creators, photographers and filmmakers. MOV files are commonly produced by iPhones, iPads, digital cameras and professional editing software.

Although MOV provides outstanding quality and editing flexibility, it can produce larger file sizes than MP4 and may not be supported by every device or browser. Converting MOV to MP4 is often the best option for online streaming, social media and maximum cross‑platform compatibility.

MKV

MKV (Matroska Video) is an open-standard, free container format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture or subtitle tracks in one file.

It is widely used for storing high-definition movies and multimedia content thanks to its support for advanced features like chapter markers, metadata and soft subtitles. MKV is especially popular for archiving and media servers.

While MKV is extremely flexible, not all devices and browsers support it natively. Converting MKV to MP4 ensures seamless playback on mobile devices, smart TVs and online platforms.
