Lemon/Video

Convert MP4 to MP3 on Mac

You want the sound from a video: a talk, a recorded call, a song from a clip. Lemon pulls the audio out as an MP3 right from Finder, without opening an editor.

Two ways to do it on a Mac.

With Lemon

One click in Finder.

  1. 1Hold Option and click the video in Finder.
  2. 2Flick it onto MP3 audio on the lemon that appears.
  3. 3The MP3 lands right beside the video.

Select several files first and they are all converted together. Nothing is uploaded: Lemon works with Wi-Fi off.

Built into macOS

Using QuickTime Player.

  1. 1Open the video in QuickTime Player.
  2. 2Choose File, then Export As, then Audio Only.
  3. 3Save the file.

This gives you an .m4a file, not an MP3.

Questions.

Yes. MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM all work.

More conversions

Every file, one flick.

Lemon converts images, video, audio, PDFs and documents from Finder. $4.99 once, no subscription.
