MOV to MP3 Converter

How to turn a MOV into an MP3

1. Choose the MOV file above. On an iPhone, tap the box and pick the video from Photos or Files.
2. Leave the quality at 192 kbps, or choose 128 kbps for speech to get a smaller file.
3. Press "Convert to MP3" and save the result.

iPhone videos and HEVC

Since the iPhone 7 generation, the camera's "High Efficiency" setting records video as HEVC (H.265) inside a MOV file. Many Windows apps and older editors can't open those files, which is often why people look for a converter in the first place. Here it doesn't matter: the converter ignores the picture and only decodes the AAC sound, so HEVC and H.264 MOV files behave the same.

If you want the whole video to play on Windows or upload anywhere, the MOV to MP4 converter rewraps it as an MP4, usually without re-encoding the picture.

Getting the MOV off your iPhone

You can run this page directly in Safari on the phone. If you prefer a computer, AirDrop the video to a Mac or use the Photos app on Windows; both deliver the original MOV. Sending a video through a messaging app usually compresses it first, which also lowers the sound quality, so convert the original when you can.

Screen recordings from a Mac

QuickTime Player and macOS screen recordings are saved as MOV. A recording of a call or a lecture made this way converts the same way, and at 128 kbps the MP3 stays small enough to email. A recording made without the microphone enabled has no sound track at all, and the tool tells you so instead of producing a silent file.

From MP3 to text

Recorded a meeting, an interview or a voice note as a video? The MP3 can go into mydubly's audio to text tool, or you can give it the MOV itself on the MOV to text page and get a timestamped transcript either way.

How the free converter works

The converter is ffmpeg, the open-source media toolkit, compiled to WebAssembly so it runs inside your browser tab. Your file is read straight from your disk by that engine; it is never uploaded to mydubly or anywhere else, and no account is needed.

• The engine is about 30 MB and downloads the first time you convert something. After that your browser normally keeps it.
• Large inputs are fine because the file is read in place, but the result is built in memory, so outputs are capped at about 1.5 GB.
• Speed depends on your device. Copying streams takes seconds; re-encoding video is the slow case.
• Keep the tab open until the download button appears. Closing it stops the conversion.
