Convert videos to a format that plays everywhere
iPhones save MOV files, screen recorders often save WebM or MKV, and old cameras produce AVI. If a video won't play, upload or attach, converting it to MP4 almost always solves the problem.
Formats at a glance
| Format | Plays on | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MP4 | Everything | Best default choice |
| MOV | Apple devices, most editors | Apple's container, usually H.264 or HEVC inside |
| MKV | VLC, PCs, TVs | Flexible, but not supported by iPhones or many websites |
| AVI | Old players and TVs | Outdated; large files |
| WebM | Browsers, YouTube | Can be read here, but not created |
