MOV to MP4 Converter for Mac

A native Mac MOV to MP4 converter. Drag a .mov file into Bench and get an MP4 back without uploading anything to a web service. Conversion happens on your Mac.

What it does

Bench's MOV to MP4 tool converts QuickTime .mov files to H.264 MP4 using macOS's built-in AVFoundation framework. The output is a broadly compatible MP4 with no intermediate files — drag the source in, choose a destination, and the converted file lands there. This is the format most video platforms, Slack, and Notion accept when the original screen recording from a Mac comes out as a .mov. No third-party codecs, no ffmpeg command to remember, no browser upload.

Why use Bench's MOV to MP4 converter

Web-based converters require you to upload the file to a remote server. For screen recordings that contain in-progress code, internal dashboards, or unreleased UI, that's a meaningful tradeoff. Bench converts locally using macOS APIs — the video stays on your disk from start to finish. It's also faster than a browser upload for larger recordings: the bottleneck is local I/O and the encoder, not network speed.
