How to convert a video file to MP3 on iPhone

Import a video already saved in Photos or Files, then convert and save its audio as an MP3.

01

Confirm the imported video in the file list

A video imported from Photos or Files appears in the Documents list. Check its filename, extension, and size so you select the intended source. Use a recording you made or another file you are authorized to convert.

Wait for conversion to reach 100%

A circular indicator shows the actual conversion progress. Long videos or higher-quality settings can take more time, so keep the app open until it finishes. Conversion operates on a file already stored on your device.
