Build a Convert Video Format Shortcut for iPhone

iPhone records video in HEVC or MOV format by default, which many platforms, email clients, and Windows computers can't play without special software. A convert video format shortcut for iPhone converts any video to MP4 or another compatible format directly on your device, in one tap, without needing a desktop computer or a subscription video converter.

How this video conversion shortcut works

Share a video to the shortcut from your Photos app or Files. Choose your desired output format, MP4 is the most universally compatible, and the shortcut re-encodes the video using iOS's native media handling. The converted file is saved back to your Photos library or Files for easy sharing.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Build a Convert Video Format Shortcut shortcut free?

Signed-in users can build one custom AI shortcut each day for free, subject to free-model availability. Continued generation uses prepaid credit according to model usage, and a 0.1 credit compile fee applies only when an installable paid shortcut is stored. No subscription or App Store download is required.

Which iPhone, iPad, and Mac models does this shortcut support?

Compatibility depends on the actions the shortcut uses and the software on your device. Review the generated actions before installing, especially when a shortcut relies on newer Apple features or third-party apps.

Does this shortcut need an internet connection to run?

It depends on its actions. Device-only actions can run locally, while web, weather, AI, and other online services need a connection. Turin needs a connection to build and install the shortcut.

Can I customise this shortcut after installing it?

Absolutely. You can describe any changes to Turin and get a new version in seconds, or open the shortcut in the Apple Shortcuts app and edit the actions directly.
