What is MOV?

Apple QuickTime video container. Common for iPhone recordings and Final Cut Pro exports. Extract the audio track to MP3, WAV, or other formats.

What is WAV?

Uncompressed audio format. Perfect quality with no data loss. Standard for music production and professional audio work.

Why Convert MOV to WAV?

MOV files mostly come from two places — iPhones and cameras — and both produce moments where the audio matters more than the picture: an interview filmed on a phone, a live performance someone recorded, a lecture, a voice you want to sample, field sound captured while shooting b-roll. Extracting that audio to WAV is the professional route because of what happens next. If you're going to edit — denoise wind, cut out pauses, EQ a voice, sync sound to another edit — you want to work on uncompressed PCM, not on a re-compressed MP3. iPhone MOV audio is AAC (already lossy), so decoding it once to WAV means no further loss through your entire edit chain; going to MP3 first would stack a second lossy generation before you touch a fader. Some professional cameras and screen-recording tools actually store uncompressed PCM inside MOV, and in that case WAV extraction is perfectly lossless — you get exactly the recorded samples. WAV also imports flawlessly into everything: Logic, Pro Tools, Premiere, Final Cut, Audacity, DaVinci — no codec surprises, instant scrubbing, sample-accurate cuts. The whole extraction runs in your browser, which matters for footage you'd rather not upload anywhere: nothing leaves your device. Expect about 10 MB per stereo minute; keep the WAV as the working copy and export to a compressed format only at delivery.

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.

Is extracting from an iPhone MOV lossless?

iPhone video audio is AAC, which is lossy at capture — extracting to WAV decodes it once with no further loss, which is the best you can do. MOV files from pro cameras or screen recorders that store PCM audio extract perfectly losslessly.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The extraction runs entirely in your browser with FFmpeg WebAssembly — the footage never leaves your device, which matters for personal videos and client material.

Is this MOV to WAV converter free?

Yes. Free users get 5 conversions per month. The output is limited to the first 10 seconds as a preview, with a 20MB input file size limit. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited, full-length conversions.
