MP4 at a glance
MP4
Convert to MP4 when the goal is reliable playback almost everywhere.
It is the best default for web uploads, customer downloads, course content, product demos, internal training videos, social publishing, and mobile-friendly delivery.
Use MP4 when you need a compact file with broad hardware decoding support and minimal friction for recipients.
It is less ideal than MOV for certain post-production handoffs and less flexible than MKV for niche container features, but for mainstream delivery and compatibility, MP4 is usually the right answer.
NUMBERS at a glance
NUMBERS
Convert to NUMBERS when the recipient is expected to work further in Apple Numbers, especially for schedules, lightweight financial sheets, classroom materials, or visually arranged tables in Mac- and iPad-based workflows.
It is useful when the Apple editing experience matters more than cross-platform ubiquity.
For broad office interoperability, XLSX is usually the safer spreadsheet target.
