Last updated
Quick answer: To convert DIVX to MOV, add the DIVX file to the iHateFiles DIVX to MOV converter and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. DIVX is a format most software has stopped opening. MOV is not.
Should you convert DIVX to MOV?
Yes. DIVX is a format most current software no longer opens, so converting it is the reliable way to keep watching it. MOV is a reasonable target; MP4 is the safest.
The picture is re-encoded
A DIVX usually holds DivX MPEG-4 Part 2 video with MP3 or AC3 sound. This writes H.264 video with AAC sound into the MOV. Both sides are compressed with loss, so this is a second generation: leave the quality at its default or higher, because the encoder is working from DIVX artefacts rather than the original.
Expect a smaller MOV
H.264 video is a much more efficient codec than what a DIVX holds, so at the same visual quality the MOV is usually a third to a half of the size.
Where the MOV will play
MOV plays on every Apple device, Windows 10 and later, and most editors.

What usually goes wrong
About the DIVX. DivX, XviD and MPEG-4 Part 2 are near enough the same thing under different names, and all three convert the same way.
About the MOV. A MOV recorded on an iPhone is usually H.264 or HEVC and plays anywhere. A MOV exported from an editor may be ProRes, ten times larger, and rejected by the same places.
How to convert DIVX to MOV
- Add your DIVX file. It is read from your disk and stays there.

Questions
How do I convert DIVX to MOV?
Open this page, add your DIVX file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this DIVX to MOV converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Will converting to MOV lose quality?
MOV is a lossy format, so some detail is discarded. The quality control on this page decides how much. The default is set high enough that most people cannot see the difference.
Can I convert several DIVX files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
