MOV to MP3 converter

Get the audio from an iPhone video: a performance, a lecture, a voice note.

What happens to your MOV

The MOV's AAC or PCM audio is decoded and encoded to MP3. The video is ignored, so this is fast even for long clips.

Tip: Pick WAV if you plan to edit the audio in a DAW; it avoids a lossy generation.

How to convert MOV to MP3

  1. Drop your MOV file on the box above, or tap it to pick one. The engine (about 31 MB) loads once per visit.
  2. The converter reads the file's streams and shows which codecs are inside.
  3. Pick a bitrate, or leave the default to keep the original audio when possible.
  4. Press the button, wait for the progress bar, then download your MP3.

Prefer the command line?

This is the FFmpeg command the converter runs for a typical MOV (hevc + aac). Paste it into a terminal with FFmpeg installed for batch jobs or files too big for a browser tab:

ffmpeg -y -i input.mov -vn -sn -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 2 output.mp3

This re-encodes, so expect it to take a while on long files. Your own file may contain different codecs; the converter above detects them and adapts. For other jobs, ask the FFmpeg command helper.

Questions

Does it read iPhone MOV files?

Yes, including HEVC video clips, because only the audio track is processed.

Is my MOV file uploaded?

No. The MOV is read from your device by FFmpeg running as WebAssembly in the page, and the MP3 is written back to your device. No server ever receives it.

Is there a size limit for MOV to MP3?

We set none. The practical limit is browser memory: roughly 2 GB of output on a computer, and much less on phones.
