MOV to MP3
iPhones and Macs save videos as MOV files. Save the sound from one as an MP3, for a talk, a voice note or music from your own videos. The video stays on your device.
How to use it
- Choose the MP3 quality; 192 kbps suits most uses.
- Choose your MOV videos, or drag them onto the box.
- Download each MP3, or all of them as a ZIP file.
Which quality should I pick?
128 kbps is fine for speech and keeps files small. 192 kbps is good for music and most other uses. 320 kbps is the highest MP3 quality. Choosing a higher quality than the video's own sound cannot improve it; it only makes the file larger.
iPhone videos
The page reads the sound track out of the MOV file itself, so it works even where the browser cannot play the video, for example iPhone videos recorded in HEVC. Where a video has more than one sound track, the first ordinary one is used.
Only use videos you have the right to
This page converts files that are already on your device. It should only be used for recordings you own or have permission to use.
Questions
How long a video can I convert?
Videos up to about an hour are comfortable on a computer. Longer videos need a lot of memory while they are being converted, and a phone may run out sooner.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The work happens inside your web browser, on your own device. Before your file is opened, this page locks itself: from then on your browser refuses to let it fetch, upload or send anything at all. You can check: once the page has loaded, switch off your internet connection and it will still work. How the lock works.
