    MOV is Apple's QuickTime container and the default format an iPhone records video in. A voice memo, a concert recording or a voice message shot as video often ends up as MOV on the device - if you only want the audio, you do not need to keep the large video file.

    The tool demuxes the MOV container, drops the video track (-vn) and encodes the audio track with libmp3lame to MP3 at the chosen bitrate. Since MOV usually already carries the audio track as AAC, the result is a second, but barely perceptible round of compression.

    For voice recordings, a low bitrate in mono is enough; for music videos or concert recordings, stereo with more headroom pays off. The conversion runs entirely locally in the browser, with your iPhone video never uploaded.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop your MOV file.
    2. Choose bitrate and channels.
    3. Download the MP3 file.

    Limitations: Any existing text metadata of the source file is carried over by default; an embedded image is lost when the audio track is extracted. Very large/long videos can hit memory limits on mobile devices. One file per run.

    FAQ

    Is my video uploaded?

    No, the entire extraction runs locally in your browser.

    Why is MOV so common on the iPhone?

    The Camera app records in the QuickTime MOV container by default.

    Is this the same as for MP4 files?

    Almost identical - MOV and MP4 share the same technical basis (ISO Base Media Container), but the MOV extension is typical for Apple recordings.

    Can I drop an MP4 instead?

    Yes, there is the dedicated tool "MP4 to MP3" for that.
