Why won't my iPhone video play on Windows or Android?

Recent iPhones record HEVC (H.265) in a MOV file, which many players and editors can't open. Re-encoding to H.264 MP4 fixes that.

Re-encode or keep original?

Keep original only changes the container, so it is instant and lossless, but the video stays HEVC if it was HEVC. Re-encode when the MP4 needs to play everywhere.

Yes. Create a free imageat account and convert files with no credits, no watermark and no card. Free accounts get 20 jobs or 30 processing minutes a day, with files up to 500 MB and 10 minutes long. Subscribers get 2 GB files, 60-minute videos and priority in the queue.

What happens to my files?

Your upload goes to private storage, is processed by our own FFmpeg server and is deleted automatically after 24 hours (7 days on paid plans). We never use your files for anything else.

Why do I need an account?

Converting video takes real server time. Sign-up keeps the queue fair and stops abuse, so the tool can stay free and fast for everyone.
