Three steps to your MOV summary
From a .mov file on your Mac or iPhone to a readable summary in under a minute.
Upload Your MOV
Drag a .mov file into the upload area or click to browse. Works with iPhone screen recordings, Mac screen captures (QuickTime Player), camera exports, and any standard QuickTime .mov file. You won't need to convert to MP4 first.
AI Transcribes & Summarizes
We extract the audio from the QuickTime container, transcribe it with a speech-to-text model, then run the transcript through a large-language model tuned for summarization. You get the structure, key points, and decisions.
Get a Structured Summary
Receive a clean text summary you can copy, paste, or share. Scan it fast for meeting recaps, lecture notes, or video reviews.
Built for Mac and iPhone workflows
iPhone and Mac use .mov by default, but most summarizer tools force you to convert it first. We accept it directly.
Skip the MP4 Conversion
Most summarizer tools only accept MP4 and require you to re-encode .mov first. We accept QuickTime files directly, with no extra encoder step and no quality loss from a needless conversion.
Transcribes the Real Audio
We run real speech-to-text on the audio track inside your .mov, then summarize the transcript. The summary reflects what was said, which works well for FaceTime recordings, iPhone meeting captures, and Voice Memo screen recordings.
Free with No Signup
100% free, no Pro tier, no "3 file imports lifetime" trick like other tools. Upload as many .mov files as you need.
Multilingual & Private
Works on videos in dozens of languages, and you can request the summary in any of them. Files upload over HTTPS. We process them only for the summary job, and we don't retain them or use them to train models.
Why use this MOV summarizer?
Compared to the most-recommended alternatives, ours is the cleanest path from a QuickTime export to a sharable recap.
Drag-and-Drop Simple
Drop the .mov, click summarize, read. No MP4 conversion step, no re-encoding hassle, no "please use a different format" error message.
Tuned for Long Recordings
We chunk and summarize long transcripts, so the summary holds up for a 5-minute screen recording and a 90-minute FaceTime meeting.
Real Speech-to-Text
We transcribe the real audio track instead of relying on metadata or auto-captions. The model manages background music, multiple speakers, and accented audio without extra setup.
Structured Output
Summaries include clear section breaks and key takeaways, so you can copy them straight into Notion, Slack, or your meeting recap email.
Browser-Only
No desktop app, no QuickTime Pro, no Final Cut, no Adobe license. Works on Mac, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, even iPad.
Six Languages
Interface available in English, German, Spanish, French, Indonesian, and Brazilian Portuguese. Underlying AI handles dozens more languages.
Fast, free, frictionless
MOV in, summary out. Skip the MP4 conversion middleware.
