Free to use. Your MOV file is live at your-name.99helpers.site in about ten seconds.

What is a .mov file?

MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, and what iPhones and Macs produce by default. Technically it's very close to MP4 — often holding identical H.264 video — but support outside Apple's ecosystem is slightly less consistent.

What people use MOV files for

  • Video recorded on an iPhone or iPad
  • Screen recordings made on a Mac
  • Footage exported from Final Cut Pro
  • Clips shared between Apple devices

What opens a MOV file

  • QuickTime Player and Safari
  • VLC, which plays anything
  • Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve
  • Chrome and Edge usually play H.264 MOV files, but not always

How to host a MOV file

  1. 1

    Drop your MOV file in

    Drag it onto the box at the top of this page, or click to choose it. Files up to 25 MB are supported, and nothing is uploaded until you publish.

  2. 2

    Pick an address

    Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: screen-recording.99helpers.site

  3. 3

    Publish and share

    Create a free account — that step exists so the file is yours to update, replace or delete — and the link is live within seconds.

What happens when someone opens the link

It generally plays in the browser, since most MOV files contain H.264 video that browsers understand. Files using Apple-specific codecs like ProRes will download instead.

Why host a MOV file instead of emailing it?

A MOV straight off an iPhone is too big to email and gets recompressed by messaging apps. Hosting it delivers the file as recorded, at a link anyone can open.

Worth knowing before you publish

  • Converting to MP4 guarantees playback everywhere — a MOV with ProRes or an unusual codec will download rather than play.
  • ProRes files are enormous; export H.264 for anything that just needs to be watched.
  • 25 MB is the limit, so trim before uploading rather than after.

MOV hosting questions

Should I convert MOV to MP4 before hosting?
If the video needs to play reliably for everyone, yes. Most MOV files contain H.264 and play fine, but MP4 removes all doubt — and any editor or QuickTime can export it.
Why does my MOV download instead of playing?
It's using a codec the browser doesn't support, most often ProRes from Final Cut. Export as H.264 MP4 and it'll play in the browser.
Can I share an iPhone video this way?
Yes — AirDrop or transfer it to a computer and drop it in. Under 25 MB it works directly; longer clips need trimming or exporting at a lower resolution first.
