MOV (.mov) · Max 20 MB
Podcast hosting platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts all support M4A. It's the safe choice for distribution.
For spoken word, 128kbps mono is plenty. Music-heavy podcasts benefit from 192kbps stereo. AudioUtils lets you choose the right balance of size and quality.
Record in the highest quality your setup allows. Convert to your distribution format once, at the end. Every extra conversion degrades lossy audio slightly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why extract to M4A instead of MP3?
M4A using AAC delivers better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate and is the native format across Apple devices. If your MOV already contains AAC audio, extracting to M4A avoids re-encoding entirely.
Does this work with iPhone MOV recordings?
Yes. iPhone videos use MOV containers with AAC audio. This tool extracts just the audio track into an M4A file.
How long does extraction take?
Seconds. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly. No upload required.
