MOV (.mov) · Max 20 MB
MOV already discarded some audio data during its initial compression. Converting to WAV wraps the remaining audio in a lossless container. No additional quality is lost.
This is useful when your editing tools require WAV input. You get compatibility without a second round of lossy compression.
For the best results, always start from the highest quality source you have. If you have the original uncompressed recording, convert that instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose WAV over MP3 when extracting from MOV?
Choose WAV if you plan to edit the audio in a DAW or audio editor. WAV is uncompressed and avoids the generation loss you'd get from compressing to MP3. Choose MP3 if you just need a smaller file for listening.
Does this work with all MOV files?
Yes. This tool handles MOV files from iPhones, cameras, QuickTime, and other sources regardless of the internal audio codec.
How large will the WAV file be?
WAV files are significantly larger than the compressed audio in a MOV file. A 1-minute extraction at CD quality (44.1kHz, 16-bit stereo) produces about 10MB.
