Route
/mov/decrypt
Canonical noun-first path on cryptvert.com.
Why teams protect MOV videos
People use this route when they need to encrypt MOV files online before sharing camera footage or review exports.
When Cryptvert is better than native protection
MOV files typically do not have native password protection. Cryptvert is better when you want to secure the full video file before it leaves your team.
Best for
- Camera footage passed to editors or vendors
- Review exports stored in shared locations
- Raw clips that should not sit unprotected in inboxes
Not for
- Video editing, transcoding, or proxy generation
- Streaming playback inside the vault
- MP4 workflows that already use the MP4 route
Common use cases
- Protect review exports during client approval
- Vault camera footage before external handoff
- Encrypt raw clips for archive storage
Mistakes to avoid
- Expecting Cryptvert to convert MOV to MP4
- Choosing the wrong route for MP4 or M4V files
- Closing the tab too early on large client-side files
Quick checklist
- Confirm the source file is .mov
- Keep the tab open while the video processes
- Download the resulting .vault package
- Share the passphrase separately

Visible FAQ
What does the MOV decrypt route actually do?
Cryptvert decrypts a .vault package that originally contained a MOV video and restores that file locally on your device.
Does Cryptvert transcode MOV footage?
No. The original MOV file is preserved inside the vault and restored as MOV after decryption.
Is this route better than the MP4 page for MOV files?
Yes. The MOV route is the better fit when the source video is .mov and you want clearer route-specific guidance.
What comes back after decryption?
You get the original MOV video file back, unchanged from the source clip.
