What is MOV and why compress it

MOV is a multimedia container format developed by Apple. It was natively used for its QuickTime program to save movies. It can contain one or more separate tracks with video, audio or subtitles. The format is supported by both Windows and Mac OS.

You may want to send a MOV video by email or upload it to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or another social media — in these cases, you will definitely need to compress it before doing anything else. Why? Because every web service has a file size limit.

The Online Video Compressor by Clideo is compatible with any file format you may have. It is completely online so you do not have to download and install anything to your device. The tool allows you to add a 500 MB video for free at a time. However, it does not have a limit on the file quantity.
