Frequently Asked Questions

3 questions answered

What if the video has no audio track?

Screen recordings, time-lapses, or videos exported without audio won't have an audio track to extract. The tool will produce a silent or zero-byte file in this case.

Can I extract audio from a MOV file from my iPhone?

Yes. iPhone MOV files are fully supported. The AAC audio track inside the MOV is decoded and re-encoded as MP3.

Will extracting audio reduce quality?

Converting from AAC (common in MP4/MOV) to MP3 involves transcoding, which can introduce a tiny quality reduction. At 192 kbps or above, this is imperceptible to the human ear.
