About this MOV to MP3 converter
MOV is Apple’s QuickTime video container. iPhones and Macs record screen captures and camera clips as .mov files, and the audio track inside is usually AAC. If you only need the sound — a lecture, a song, an interview or a screen recording — this tool pulls the audio track out of your MOV file and saves it as MP3. The conversion happens on your own device, so the video is never uploaded.
Why convert MOV to MP3?
- Save the soundtrack of a MOV video as a MP3 file you can play or edit anywhere.
- Make a podcast, voice note or music track out of a recording.
- Shrink a large MOV clip down to just the audio before sharing.
Things to know
- Only the audio track is kept. The picture is dropped, which is why the MP3 file is far smaller than the original MOV.
- If your MOV file has no audio track, there is nothing to extract and the tool will tell you.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert MOV to MP3 for free?
Open this page, select your MOV file, click convert and download the MP3. No account, no app and no payment are needed.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your MOV file never leaves your device. That also means there is no server-side size limit — only your device’s memory.
Will I lose quality converting MOV to MP3?
The audio is re-encoded to MP3. If the page offers a quality setting, “High” keeps the difference very hard to hear; WAV output is uncompressed. The video picture is not included.
What is the difference between MOV and MP3?
MOV (QuickTime Movie) is best for iPhone and Mac recordings. MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) is best for music libraries, podcasts, voice memos and anything you want to play everywhere.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. Very large files (several hundred MB) can be slow or run out of memory on phones, so use a desktop browser for those.
