MOV to MP3 Converter

Extract the audio from a QuickTime MOV and save it as an MP3 — in your browser, no upload needed.

Why convert MOV to MP3?

QuickTime MOV files are what Apple devices record by default. If you want to share just the audio from a FaceTime recording, a lecture filmed on an iPhone, or a family voice memo video, an MP3 extraction is the shortest path. MP3 plays on literally every device ever made with a speaker.

The conversion decodes the MOV's AAC (or sometimes ALAC) audio track to raw PCM and re-encodes it as MP3. It's a lossy-to-lossy step so there's a small theoretical quality penalty, but at 192 kbps it's inaudible in speech and typical music. The video track is discarded. All local, no upload.

About MOV

MOV is Apple's QuickTime container and shares the same ISO-BMFF structure as MP4 — which is why converting between them is usually a fast remux rather than a re-encode.

MP3

About MP3
