Questions

How do I convert 3G2 to MOV?

Drop your 3G2 file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the MOV downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the video editor.

Is my 3G2 file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Will I lose quality?

MOV is a compressed format, and Anyfile saves at high quality, so the difference is very hard to notice.

Can I convert several 3G2 files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every MOV inside.
