How this Free MOV to MP3 Converter — Extract Audio from MOV works

This audio extraction tool pulls the audio stream from Apple QuickTime MOV video files and encodes it as MP3 using FFmpeg WebAssembly. The conversion uses the libmp3lame encoder with configurable bitrate options: 128 kbps for speech and podcasts, 192 kbps for general-purpose music, 256 kbps for high-fidelity audio, and 320 kbps for maximum quality. Output is fixed at 44.1 kHz stereo for maximum playback compatibility.

The FFmpeg command strips the video stream entirely using the -vn flag, then re-encodes only the audio track. This approach works regardless of the original audio codec inside the MOV container—whether AAC, PCM, or Apple Lossless. The tool loads FFmpeg core via UMD build from CDN, writes the MOV file to the virtual filesystem, executes the extraction command, and reads the resulting MP3 as a downloadable Blob.

Primary use cases include extracting audio from iPhone and Mac screen recordings, converting FaceTime or QuickTime lecture recordings to audio-only format for portable listening, and pulling music tracks from MOV-wrapped video files. The built-in audio player provides immediate playback verification.
