How to convert FLV to MOV
- Add your .FLV file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .MOV in a few seconds.
- Download your new .MOV file.
What to expect
- If the source FLV holds VP6 or H.263 video rather than H.264, a full re-encode is needed - expect a small but unavoidable quality loss.
- MOV and MP4 share the same underlying format; for broad playback compatibility, MP4 is the better target unless a specific Apple tool requires MOV.
- FLV files sometimes carry MP3 audio; MOV prefers AAC, so converters re-encode the audio track automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Does QuickTime Player on Mac play MOV files converted from FLV?
Yes, as long as the MOV contains H.264 video and AAC audio. QuickTime cannot open the original FLV at all, so converting is the necessary step.
Will the converted MOV work in Final Cut Pro?
Yes - Final Cut Pro imports H.264/AAC in a MOV container without issues. For heavy editing, Apple ProRes gives better timeline performance but is not required.
Is there quality loss when converting FLV to MOV?
Not when the FLV already uses H.264/AAC - the streams are copied directly with no change. A re-encode is only needed for older VP6 or H.263 source video.
Can I batch-convert multiple FLV files to MOV?
Yes - FFmpeg handles batches via a shell loop, and desktop tools like Freemake Video Converter and Movavi Video Converter accept multiple files at once.
