How to Convert MOV to WAV Online

Upload your MOV file

Drag and drop your .mov file onto the page or click to browse. You can select several MOV files at once to batch-convert them.

WAV is preselected

The output format is already set to WAV, so you can convert immediately. If you need to, adjust the audio codec, bitrate or sample rate in the settings panel first.

Convert and download

Click Convert. The WAV file is processed on your own device; nothing is uploaded to a server. When it finishes, click Download to save it (or Download all to get a batch as a ZIP).

Why Convert MOV to WAV?

Editors, podcasters and transcription services often ask for WAV because it opens instantly in every DAW and contains no compression artefacts. Converting MOV to WAV gives you exactly the audio your camera or screen recorder captured, ready for noise reduction, EQ or dubbing.

iPhone and Mac screen recordings sometimes carry uncompressed PCM audio already; in that case the WAV export is a lossless copy. If the MOV carries AAC, the WAV will be a faithful decode of it with no additional loss.

Private by design: your MOV file is converted on your own device and never uploaded.
WAV preselected: the output format is already chosen, so it is a one-click conversion.
Batch friendly: convert several MOV files in one go and download them as a ZIP.
No limits, no watermark: free for files of any size, with nothing stamped on the output.

MOV vs WAV

MOV (QuickTime File Format): MOV is Apple's QuickTime container. iPhones, iPads and Final Cut Pro record and export MOV natively, and it can hold high-quality H.264, HEVC or ProRes streams. It is best for Apple devices, iMovie and Final Cut Pro workflows.

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format): WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio exactly as it was recorded. It is the standard for audio editing, mastering and archiving, at the cost of large files (about 10 MB per minute of CD-quality stereo). It is best for editing, mastering, DAWs and archiving.

In short: keep MOV when the priority is Apple devices, iMovie and Final Cut Pro workflows, and switch to WAV when the file is headed for editing, mastering, DAWs and archiving. Need a different target? The full Video Converter supports every format listed below.

MOV to WAV FAQ

Can I lower the sample rate to keep the WAV small?

Yes, the sample rate is adjustable in the audio settings. For speech, 22.05 kHz cuts the file size in half with little audible change.

Does the WAV keep both audio tracks if my MOV has two?

You can select which audio track to export from the track picker. Export twice if you need separate WAV files for each track.

Is this MOV to WAV converter free?

Yes. Converting MOV to WAV on MediaConverter.io is completely free, with no watermark, no sign-up and no daily conversion limit.

Are my MOV files uploaded to a server?

No. The converter runs inside your browser using WebAssembly and WebCodecs, so your .mov file is read and converted on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, which keeps private recordings private and means there is no waiting in an upload queue.

Is there a file size limit for MOV to WAV?

No fixed limit. Because processing happens locally, the practical limit is your computer's memory and patience; multi-gigabyte MOV files convert fine on a desktop browser. Very large files take longer on phones.

Will converting MOV to WAV reduce quality?

WAV is a lossless format, so it stores exactly the audio decoded from your MOV file. No additional quality is lost during the conversion.

Which browsers support the MOV to WAV converter?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop all work. Chrome and Edge are fastest because they expose hardware-accelerated WebCodecs decoders.
