How to convert a video to MP3

  1. Pick the MP3 quality. 192 kbps suits most videos; choose 128 kbps for speech if you want a smaller file.
  2. Click Choose file and select your MP4, MOV or other video, or drag it onto the box.
  3. Wait while the audio is extracted. The progress bar shows how far along it is.
  4. Listen to the result, then click Download MP3. The file keeps the video's name.

Which MP3 quality should you choose?

The number is the bitrate: how much data is used per second of sound. Higher means a bigger file and more detail. For speech, 128 kbps already sounds clear; music benefits from 192 or 320.

QualityPer minutePer hourGood for
128 kbpsabout 1 MBabout 58 MBLectures, podcasts, interviews, voice memos
192 kbpsabout 1.4 MBabout 86 MBMusic and mixed content; a safe default
320 kbpsabout 2.4 MBabout 144 MBMusic when you want the most MP3 can give

Phone and camera videos usually store their sound at 256 kbps or less, so 320 kbps makes the file larger without making it sound better than the original.

Converting on an iPhone or Android phone

Open this page in Safari or Chrome and tap Choose file. On an iPhone, pick Photo Library for videos you filmed, or Choose File for files in the Files app. Keep the page open until the MP3 is ready, then tap Download MP3; on an iPhone it's saved to the Downloads folder in Files. Short clips convert quickly on a phone; for long videos, a computer is faster and has more memory.

What it doesn't do

  • It doesn't download videos from YouTube, TikTok or other sites: you need the video file itself.
  • It can't open copy-protected videos, such as films bought or rented from a streaming store.
  • It converts one file at a time and doesn't trim the audio. Every file is converted in full.

Need the words, not just the audio?

If you're extracting the audio of a lecture, interview or meeting so you can write it up, click Transcribe to textafter converting. You get the transcript with timestamps in a few minutes, and can download it as Word, TXT or SRT subtitles. You can also upload the video itself: see video to text andMP3 to text.

FAQ

Video to MP3 questions

Can't find an answer? Email us.

Is this video to MP3 converter free?

Yes. Converting is free, needs no account, and has no daily limit, because it runs on your device and costs us nothing.

Is it safe to convert private videos here?

The conversion happens in your browser. The video and the MP3 stay on your device; nothing is sent to our servers unless you click Transcribe to text.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no fixed limit. The video is read straight from your disk, so even large files work, but the MP3 is built in your browser's memory. Recordings of several hours are fine on a computer; on a phone, very long videos can fail.

How long does it take?

It depends on your device. In our tests on a computer, an hour of video took about a minute to convert. Phones are slower, and the first conversion also has to load the converter.

Why is the first conversion slower?

The first time, your browser downloads the converter (about 30 MB). It's cached afterwards, so later conversions start right away.

Will the sound quality get worse?

MP3 is a compressed format, so a little detail is always lost, but at 192 kbps or more most people can't hear a difference from the video's own audio. A higher setting can't add quality the original didn't have.

Can I convert a YouTube or TikTok link?

No. This tool converts files on your device. It doesn't download videos from websites.

Can I convert audio files too?

Yes. M4A, WAV, OGG, WhatsApp voice notes (.opus) and most other audio files can be converted to MP3 the same way.
