Key facts
- A 1.6 GB, 5-minute 1080p MOV becomes a 13.6 MB MP3 (320 kbps) in 28 seconds — right in your browser.

- Output: MP3 at 320, 256, 192 or 128 kbps, or 16-bit WAV.
From iPhone or Mac
Videos recorded on an iPhone and screen recordings made with QuickTime are saved as .mov files. Getting the sound out works three ways:
- On a Mac: drag the video out of Photos onto your desktop (or find the QuickTime recording in Movies), then drop it into the box above.
- From iPhone to a computer: AirDrop the video to your Mac, or send it to your PC with iCloud Photos, then drop it in.
- Right on the iPhone: open this page in Safari, tap choose a file → Photo Library, pick the video and tap Convert. The MP3 is saved to Files → Downloads. The iPhone guide has screenshots.
MOV to WAV
If you're taking the audio into GarageBand, Logic or Audacity, choose WAV in the format row. You get uncompressed 16-bit audio at the same sample rate as the recording, which is what editors expect. For listening or sharing, MP3 at 192 or 320 kbps is much smaller and sounds the same to most ears.
