how to video to mp3
- drop a video from your device onto the box above.
- optionally set start and end to keep only one part.
- choose mp3 (or another format) and a bitrate; tick mono for speech.
- press extract audio and download the file.
mp3 file size follows one rule: bitrate times length. 192 kbps is about 1.4 mb per minute, 128 kbps about 1 mb, and 320 kbps about 2.4 mb. mono halves that again, which is a good trade for talks, lectures and voice notes where stereo adds nothing.
if the original video uses aac audio (most phone and camera files do), converting to mp3 is a second lossy step. to avoid that, choose m4a, which saves the sound in a similar format at about the same quality. mp3 is the safer pick when the file needs to play in older cars, players and editing programs.
use this only for audio you recorded or have the right to use. nothing is uploaded, so there is no link or download option for online video sites; it works on files that are already on your device.

frequently asked questions
what bitrate should i choose?
192 kbps sounds good for most music and speech. choose 320 kbps for the best quality, or 128 for small files.
can i get other audio formats?
yes, choose m4a, wav, ogg or flac in the format menu.
is the video uploaded anywhere?
no. the audio is extracted locally in your browser.
can i extract only part of the video's audio?
yes. use the start and end sliders to select a section, press preview selection to hear it, and only that part is converted. a fade in and out option avoids clicks at the cut points.
will converting to mp3 improve the sound?
no. the audio inside most videos is already compressed (aac or opus). a higher mp3 bitrate keeps more of it but cannot restore what was lost, so 192 kbps is plenty for almost everything.
why is my mp3 silent or does it fail?
the video may have no audio track, for example a screen recording with the microphone off. play the preview above: if you hear nothing there, there is nothing to extract.
