About MOV
Apple introduced the QuickTime format in 1991, and MP4 was later built on it. iPhones record MOV files, and Macs, Final Cut Pro and many professional cameras save them too.
iPhones have recorded HEVC since 2017, in HDR from the iPhone 12 on, or H.264 when set to Most Compatible. Editing apps and pro cameras often use ProRes, which keeps more detail in much bigger files.
Safari plays MOV by itself. In Chrome, Edge and Firefox, Filepeek reads the file, lets the browser decode H.264 and HEVC, and decodes ProRes on its own. HEVC plays where the browser and device can decode it, as on most Macs and iPhones and many PCs.

Questions
Why won't iPhone videos play on my PC?
iPhones record HEVC, and not every PC can decode it. Filepeek plays it wherever your browser can, and Export then saves an H.264 MP4 that plays on any PC.
Can it play ProRes?
Yes. Filepeek decodes ProRes inside your browser when the browser can't, so it plays in Chrome, Edge and Firefox too.
What happens to HDR when I export?
Filepeek tone maps it to SDR, so the MP4 or MOV looks right on every screen instead of washed out.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video plays inside your browser, so personal videos never leave your device.
