    Pick a MOV or MP4 file, or drop it into the box.

  2. 2. Pick a quality

    Your MP3 downloads in seconds, without the video.

Why pull audio out of a MOV

An iPhone video, a QuickTime recording and a screen recording all save as MOV by default.

Sometimes you only want the sound, like an interview or a lecture you recorded as a video. This tool gets you just the audio, as a small MP3.

Choosing your MP3 quality

Kbps stands for kilobits per second. A higher number keeps more sound detail and makes a bigger file.

128 kbps is a good fit for speech, like an interview or a lecture. 192 or 320 kbps keeps more detail if there is music in the background.

Works with MP4 too

This tool also reads the sound inside MP4 videos, not only MOV. It also accepts M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC, AIFF and FLAC files directly.

Only the sound track is read, so even a large video file converts quickly, and the video itself is never uploaded.

Good to know before you start

This tool handles one video at a time, up to 2 hours long. It checks your file first, so it never freezes partway through a long one.

It works in modern browsers on iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and Mac or Windows computers, including Chrome, Safari and Edge.

Who this is for

Anyone who filmed a conversation, a lecture or a voice note as a video and just wants the sound. Once you have the MP3, try audio to text to get a transcript, or the audio compressor to make the file even smaller.
