How to convert MP4 to MP3

  1. 1

    Add your video

    Drop in an MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV — most video and audio files work. Batches are fine.

  2. 2

    Pick a bitrate

    320 kbps for music, 192 for podcasts and voice, 128 when size matters most.

  3. 3

    Download your MP3s

    The audio track is extracted locally. Save each file or grab them all as a ZIP.

Full audio fidelity

Up to 320 kbps extraction keeps concerts and lectures crisp, with nothing re-recorded.

Private by design

Conversion runs on your hardware with WebAssembly. Videos never leave your device.

Batch extraction

Queue up to ten videos and pull audio from all of them in one run.

Plays everywhere

MP3 works in every music app, phone, car stereo, and editor ever made.

What is an MP3?

MP3 is the universal audio format. Three decades after its debut, every device and app on earth plays it — which is why ripping audio to MP3 remains the safest way to keep sound portable.

  • Plays on every device, app, and car system
  • 128–320 kbps covers voice to studio music
  • Small files compared to video soundtracks

Which bitrate should I pick?

Bitrate is the amount of audio data per second. Higher sounds better and takes more space. For spoken word, 128–192 kbps is transparent. For music you care about, go 256–320 kbps.

  • 128 kbps — voice, lectures, small size
  • 192 kbps — podcasts and everyday music
  • 320 kbps — maximum MP3 quality

Frequently asked questions

Does converting MP4 to MP3 lose quality?

The audio is decoded from the video and re-encoded to MP3. At 256–320 kbps this is transparent to almost every listener; at 128 kbps you trade a little fidelity for a much smaller file.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion engine is WebAssembly running in your browser. Your video is read from disk, processed on your own CPU, and the MP3 is saved straight back.

Why does the first conversion take longer?

The first run downloads the conversion engine (about 30 MB) and caches it. After that, conversions start instantly for the rest of your session.

Which video formats can I convert from?

MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, and M4V all work, plus audio files like WAV, M4A, FLAC, and OGG that need MP3 copies.

Can I convert several videos at once?

Yes — add up to ten files. They are processed one after another and you can download the results individually or as a ZIP.
