Quick answer: To convert SVI to MOV, add the SVI file to the iHateFiles SVI 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. SVI is a format most software has stopped opening. MOV is not.
Should you convert SVI to MOV?
A safe conversion: SVI and MOV are both lossless, so this is a change of container rather than a change to the picture.
Nothing is discarded
SVI and MOV are both lossless, so every pixel survives the move intact. Convert back and forth as often as you like; the image does not degrade.

What usually goes wrong
About the SVI. Renaming .svi to .3gp often works, since that is essentially what it is.
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 SVI to MOV
- Add your SVI file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to MOV.
- Press convert and the MOV file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert SVI to MOV?
Open this page, add your SVI 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 SVI 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 SVI files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
