MP4
MP4 is one of the most widely supported video formats. You can upload MP4 files to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other platforms, and play them on Windows Media Player, VLC, QuickTime, iPhone, iPad, Android, and most media players. MP4 files stay compact even at high quality, making them easy to share. MP4 (short for MPEG-4) can contain video and audio, and also supports images and subtitles.
MPEG
MPEG is used to store films and movies. You can upload MPEG videos to Facebook and YouTube, but not to mobile-first platforms like Instagram and TikTok. VLC plays MPEG files well; QuickTime does not support them.
MPEG stands for Moving Pictures Expert Group. Files are typically compressed as MPEG-2 or MPEG-4, which makes them faster to download and easier to stream. MPEG-4 files are better suited to mobile devices as they compress to smaller sizes than MPEG-2.
