MP4 to MP3

RUNS ON THIS DEVICE

Pull the audio track out of a video and save it as an MP3, right in your browser. Choose 128, 192, or 320 kbps and download the result in seconds.

When you need the audio, not the video

Plenty of recordings end up as video even though the picture does not matter: a lecture captured on a phone, an interview recorded over a video call, a voice memo saved as a screen recording, a podcast segment clipped from a longer episode. Keeping the full video wastes storage and makes the file awkward to play on the go. Extracting the audio into an MP3 gives you something any music or podcast app can play, at a fraction of the size.

How the extraction works

Drop in an MP4, MOV, or WebM file and the tool decodes it with the media codecs already built into your browser — the same hardware-accelerated ones that play video on every site you visit. The audio track is then encoded to MP3 by a small LAME encoder compiled to WebAssembly, running entirely on your own machine. Because there is no server involved, a long recording starts converting the moment you add it: no upload progress bar, no queue, and no counter ticking down your free tasks for the day.

Choosing a bitrate

The tool offers 128, 192, and 320 kbps. For speech — lectures, interviews, meetings — 128 kbps is usually indistinguishable from the source and keeps files small. 192 kbps is a sensible middle ground for mixed content. Save 320 kbps for music, where the extra detail is audible; for a one-hour talk it mostly just triples the file size. Whatever you pick, the original video is left untouched.

Frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Both the video decoding and the MP3 encoding run inside your browser tab, so the file stays on your device from start to finish.

Which formats can I extract audio from?

MP4, MOV, and WebM are supported, which covers phone recordings, screen captures, and most downloaded video.

What bitrate should I pick for a lecture?

128 kbps is plenty for speech and keeps a one-hour recording around 55 MB. Use 192 or 320 kbps when music quality matters.

Is there a limit on how many videos I can convert?

No. There are no daily task caps, accounts, or watermarks — the work happens on your hardware, so there is nothing for us to meter.
