About QuickTime (MOV)
MOV is the QuickTime container format from Apple. MP4 was based on it, so the two share the same structure, but MOV is also used for editing codecs such as Apple ProRes.
iPhones and many cameras record MOV, and editors such as Final Cut Pro export it.
Outside Apple software, MOV files that use ProRes or other professional codecs often do not play without extra software.
Convert MOV to PNG online free, no account required — PNG is a lossless image format with transparency.

Why won't my MOV file play on Windows or Android? QuickTime containers often carry Apple-specific codecs such as ProRes, so converting to MP4 with H.264 makes the video play everywhere.
About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a free replacement for GIF. It supports full colour and an alpha channel for transparency.
Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and any image with text or sharp edges.
For photos a PNG is several times larger than a JPEG, and plain PNG has no animation (that is APNG).
Why convert an image to PNG? When sharp lines, text and transparency matter more than file size: screenshots and logos stay pixel-perfect.
