Frequently asked questions
Why convert MOV to MP3?
iPhone MOV videos (often HEVC) choke on older Windows, editors, and upload forms. Converting to MP4 H.264 unlocks them — or just extract the audio to transcribe a filmed meeting. MP3 is the format that opens on ANY device made since the 1990s — the safe choice for sharing, attaching to email, and playing on your car stereo.
Where do MOV files come from?
Typically from iPhone camera (recorded videos), Canon, Sony, and GoPro cameras in various modes and Final Cut and iMovie exports. MOV is the FATHER of MP4: ISO standardized Apple's container in 2001 as MPEG-4. In practice they differ in metadata — many MOVs become MP4 by remux, without re-encoding.
Is it worth using MP3?
MP3 is the format that opens on ANY device made since the 1990s — the safe choice for sharing, attaching to email, and playing on your car stereo. Typical bitrate 128–320 kbps (320 kbps ≈ 2.4 MB/min); uses the LAME encoder, the format's quality reference; ID3v2 tags store title, cover art, and chapters.
Do I lose quality when converting MOV to MP3?
There is a re-encoding between two compressed formats, with minimal technical loss — imperceptible for voice and most uses. If you're going to edit the audio multiple times, prefer converting to WAV or FLAC and compress only at the end.
What if I need a transcript of this audio?
After converting, you can transcribe the file with AI on VoxScriber: 30 free minutes per month, with automatic punctuation and speaker identification. Ideal for WhatsApp audio messages, meetings, and interviews.
Is my file sent to any server?
No. All processing is local (FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly running on the page). The file never leaves your device—it even works offline after the page loads.
Is there a size or quantity limit?
The limit is 500 MB per file (browser memory). There is no limit on the number of uses. For larger files, VoxScriber processes them on the server with uploads up to 5 GB.
