Good to know

## Frequently asked questions

How does the tool “MOV to MP4” work?

Upload a supported file (MOV), run the tool, and download your files (MP4 video). The page sends your upload through Uppy into a real Transloadit Assembly, so the result demonstrates the same processing platform available through the API.

What is the maximum file size?

Files can be up to 25 MB on this public utility. Production workflows can accept larger files, process batches, import directly from cloud storage, and create several outputs in parallel.

Are uploaded files stored permanently?

The public tool processes files temporarily. Do not upload sensitive material. A production workspace gives you control over authentication, storage destinations, and retention.

Can I automate “MOV to MP4” with an API?

Yes. The same processing capability is available through reusable Transloadit Templates. Trigger it from Uppy, a backend SDK, or an API request, then send results to storage and services you control.

What other file tools are available?

Browse the category “Video tools” for related utilities. Each page runs a real upload and produces a downloadable result.
