    Why use this MP4 to MP3?

    Extract audio from a recorded meeting, lecture, or interview so you can listen on the go without carrying the full video file. MP3s are 5-10x smaller than the equivalent MP4 and play on every device.

    Most online MP4 to MP3 converters require uploading your video, which is slow, uses your bandwidth, and risks your content being kept on the server. This converter runs FFmpeg locally in your browser, so a 100MB video extracts in seconds with no upload wait.

    The output MP3 works on iPhones (in Files and most music apps), Android phones, Windows Media Player, VLC, iTunes, car stereos via USB, and every other MP3 player.

    Frequently asked questions

    What audio quality will the MP3 have?
    192 kbps stereo by default — high quality suitable for music, podcasts, and lectures. The output can't be higher quality than the source video's audio track.
    Is there a video length limit?
    Limited only by your device's memory. Most browsers handle 1-2 hour videos comfortably.
    Can I extract audio from YouTube videos?
    Not directly — YouTube doesn't expose downloadable MP4s. Use our YouTube Video Downloader first to get the MP4, then convert it to MP3 here.
    Does the converter upload my video?
    No. FFmpeg runs in your browser via WebAssembly. Your video file never leaves your device.
