How to Extract Audio from Video Free (MP4, MOV, WebM)
Extract audio from any video file and save it as MP3 or WAV. Works with MP4, MOV, WebM and more — free, no software needed.
Why Extract Audio from a Video?
Extracting the audio track from a video file is one of the most common media tasks. You might need to:
- Save the audio from a lecture, webinar or meeting recording
- Extract music from a music video
- Get the audio from a video call for transcription
- Create a podcast episode from a video recording
- Reduce file size — an MP3 is typically 10–20× smaller than the equivalent video
Whatever the reason, it takes seconds online with no software.
Which Output Format Should I Choose?
MP3 — best for listening, sharing, uploading to podcast platforms
WAV — best for editing in audio software (Audacity, Logic Pro, etc.)
For most use cases, MP3 is the right choice. Use MP4 to WAV if you need to edit the audio afterwards.

How to Extract Audio from MOV (iPhone Videos)
iPhone videos are saved as MOV files. The process is identical:
1. Transfer the MOV from your iPhone to your computer (AirDrop, USB or iCloud)
2. Go to MP4 to MP3 in your browser
3. Upload the MOV file
4. Download the MP3
The converter accepts MOV files the same as MP4.
How to Extract Audio from a Zoom Recording
Zoom recordings are saved as MP4. The workflow:
1. Find your Zoom recording (usually in Documents/Zoom)
2. Go to MP4 to MP3
3. Upload the MP4
4. Choose 128kbps for voice recordings
5. Download the MP3
You can then use the MP3 for transcription, sharing, or archiving.
What About Very Long Videos?
The browser-based converter handles files up to 100 MB. For a typical video at 1080p, that is roughly 3–5 minutes. For longer recordings, the file size may exceed the limit.
For very large video files, splitting the video first or using desktop software like Audacity (free) with FFmpeg is a better approach.
