The Bitmap Image format stores uncompressed pixel data in a simple row-by-row grid, resulting in large file sizes but zero quality loss. Converting to MOV produces a video file that packages video and audio in Apple's QuickTime container, which can hold ProRes, H.264, or HEVC tracks. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. Metadata such as creation date and embedded colour profiles is preserved where the target format supports it. This makes MOV the practical choice when the destination system requires it or when the original format is not supported by the target application. 1converter runs this conversion on the server: your file is uploaded encrypted over HTTPS, converted using trusted open-source libraries, and the output is held for 24 hours before automatic deletion.
