Converting MOV to MP3: what to know
When you need it
Save the audio of an iPhone or camera video, such as a speech at an event, a rehearsal, an interview, a lesson or a song you recorded, to listen to without the picture or to send as a light file.
What to expect
The soundtrack is extracted and encoded as an MP3 that plays everywhere, a small fraction of the MOV's size. Phone recordings often carry background noise; converting doesn't remove it.
Tip: For interviews and speech, 128 kbps under Advanced options keeps files small; choose 320 kbps for music.

What is MOV?
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, the default format for iPhone recordings and Final Cut Pro exports. It supports high-quality codecs such as ProRes and HEVC, but outside the Apple ecosystem it is less universally supported than MP4.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the classic compressed audio format. It removes sounds the ear barely notices to shrink files to roughly a tenth of CD size, and it plays on every phone, car stereo and music app, which is why it remains the default for music and podcasts.
Tips for converting MOV to MP3
- Only the soundtrack of your MOV file goes into the MP3; the picture is discarded.
- For music or podcasts choose 192 or 320 kbps under Advanced options; the automatic setting is enough for speech.
- Long videos still take a while to process, and the MOV upload itself must fit the 50MB free limit.
- Keep the original video: the audio file cannot be turned back into it.
