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.
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.
Go to getturin.com and describe your shortcut (e.g., 'Convert a MOV video from Photos to MP4 format').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the video converter shortcut.
Tap the 'Install' button to add it directly to your Apple Shortcuts app.
Convert to MP4 for guaranteed playback on any device, platform, or operating system.
Convert video entirely on your iPhone without needing a Mac or PC.
The original video file is preserved — the shortcut creates a new converted copy.
