Everything about MP4 to MP3

Why convert MP4 to MP3?

MP4 is the most common video format: Android phones, cameras, screen recorders and video sent through messaging apps all use it. When only the sound matters — a song, a lecture, an interview, a podcast recorded on video — an MP3 is ten to twenty times lighter, plays in the background on any phone, and works in car radios and players that don't read video.

What happens to the audio inside an MP4

An MP4 is a container: it holds a video track (usually H.264 or H.265) and an audio track (usually AAC). The converter reads that audio track and re-encodes it to MP3 with the LAME encoder. The video is simply ignored, which is why the conversion takes a few seconds even for a long video.

Other formats from the same MP4

The same page also produces M4A (AAC, ideal for Apple devices), WAV (lossless, for editing software) and OGG (open, compact). And it accepts MOV, MKV, WebM and AVI as well as MP4.

How it works

How to convert MP4 to MP3

  1. Add your MP4 file

    Drag and drop the MP4 video onto the page, or browse to select it. Other video formats work too.

  2. Keep MP3 or pick another format

    MP3 is preselected. Choose the quality, and move the start / end handles if you only need part of the sound.

  3. Download the audio

    The file is ready in seconds, named after your video. Download it, or send it to the audio compressor.

Practical guides

Tips & guides

MP3 or M4A?

MP3 plays absolutely everywhere, including car radios and old players: it is the safe choice.

If the file is only for an iPhone, a Mac or iTunes, M4A (AAC) sounds slightly better at the same size — it is one click away in the format selector.
