How it works
- 01
Drop your MOV in
On an iPhone, from Photos or Files. On a Mac, from Photos or Finder. Drop it on the tool at the top of this page, or tap Choose a file. Up to 500MB and 20 minutes.
- 02
It converts right there
The sound comes out in your browser while you watch. Nothing is uploaded, so even a big file doesn't wait.
- 03
Download the MP3
The Download button is already on MP3, and the format beside the tool (the Convert tab on phones) switches it to MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC or WebM. Only want part of it? Tap Trim and extract first.
What people use it for
- Save the audio of a video you took on your iPhone.
- Turn a voice-over you filmed into an MP3.
- Keep a song from a clip in your camera roll.
- Keep the sound of a Mac screen recording of a call or a demo.
About MOV files from iPhones, Macs and cameras
MOV is Apple's QuickTime format. iPhones and iPads record it, a Mac saves its screen recordings and QuickTime Player recordings as MOV, and many cameras use it too. An iPhone video is usually HEVC with AAC sound, or H.264 when Settings, then Camera, then Formats is set to Most Compatible. Only the sound is converted, so HEVC or H.264 makes no difference to the MP3.
Many cameras record MOV with uncompressed (PCM) sound. That converts too, and since nothing in it has been compressed yet, WAV is the better download if you're going to edit it.
A Live Photo is a still with about three seconds of video and sound. To get that sound, open it in Photos, tap Share, then Save as Video: the clip is saved as a video of its own, which you can pick here like any other.
Moving a video to a Mac? AirDrop it, and it lands in Downloads as a .mov. On the iPhone itself, the picker's Photo Library shows your camera roll and Choose File opens the Files app, for a video someone sent you or one you saved there from Photos with Save to Files.
Long 4K or ProRes clips get big quickly, and the converter takes files up to 500MB. Trim a long one first: in Photos, tap Edit, drag the ends of the timeline and pick Save Video as New Clip; on a Mac, QuickTime Player's Edit, then Trim, does the same.
Questions
How do I convert MOV to MP3?
Drop the MOV on the tool at the top of this page, or tap Choose a file. The sound comes out right in your browser, and the Download button is already on MP3. To keep only part of it, tap Trim and extract.
Do I need to change the MOV to MP4 first?
No. Drop the MOV as it is, in Safari or Chrome, on an iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Why is my Mac screen recording silent?
A Mac screen recording only has sound if a microphone was picked in the recording options before you started. If none was, the file has no audio track, and Extractune says so instead of handing you a silent MP3. Record it again with a microphone picked under Options.
Is my MOV uploaded to make the MP3?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device, and a big one doesn't wait on an upload.
Is the MOV to MP3 converter free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert to MP3.
