QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert ROFL to MOV?
No - not a direct conversion.

Play the replay in the League of Legends client and screen-record it with OBS Studio or QuickTime Player. The ROFL file has no pixel data; the League engine renders the match live during playback.

No direct path

Why convert ROFL to MOV?

A ROFL file (League of Legends Replay) begins with the ASCII signature 'RIOT' and contains a JSON metadata block plus a proprietary game-event stream - no frames, no audio. MOV is Apple's QuickTime container (introduced 1991) holding encoded video frames and audio. Because ROFL contains no rendered content, there is no source material to encode into .mov.

How to convert ROFL to MOV

OBS Studio FREE

Play the .rofl file in the League of Legends client and record the game window with OBS Studio; the recording can be remuxed to MOV afterward if needed.

QuickTime Player FREE

On macOS, use QuickTime Player's built-in screen recording while the replay plays in the League client to save output directly as MOV.

Quality & what to watch

  • ROFL replays are version-locked to the patch they were recorded on; after a League update, old files will not open.
  • Any website or tool claiming direct ROFL-to-MOV conversion is misleading - no video data exists inside the file.
  • A 30-minute ROFL file is only a few megabytes; an equivalent MOV recording would be several gigabytes.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the ROFL file have no video if it records a match?
The replay system captures only game events needed to re-simulate the match, not the rendered output; the League client reconstructs the visuals live from that data.
My old ROFL file will not open. Is it corrupted?
Probably not - ROFL files are tied to the patch they were recorded on, and after a League update the client can no longer replay the old data.
Where are my replay files stored on Windows?
On Windows they are stored in Documents\League of Legends\Replays.
