Question 1

Which video formats can I convert to MP3?

Accepted Answer

MP4, M4V, MOV, WebM and MKV files work. The audio track needs a codec your browser can decode, such as AAC, MP3, Opus, Vorbis, FLAC or PCM, which covers nearly all phone videos, screen recordings and downloaded clips. Movie rips with Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS soundtracks usually can't be decoded in a browser.

Question 2

Can I paste a YouTube or TikTok link?

Accepted Answer

No. This tool converts video files that are already on your device. It doesn't download anything from links. If you recorded or exported the video yourself, drop the file here.

Question 3

How long does the conversion take?

Accepted Answer

Usually much less than the length of the video, because only the audio is decoded and the video frames are skipped. Speed depends on your device, so a long video takes longer on an older phone than on a laptop.

Question 4

What bitrate should I use for a video's audio?

Accepted Answer

128 kbps is plenty for talks, lectures and podcasts. Use 192 kbps for music videos, and 256 or 320 kbps if you plan to edit the audio further. A setting above the bitrate of the video's own audio track won't make it sound better.

Question 5

Do you keep a copy of my videos?

Accepted Answer

No. Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded, so there's nothing on our side to keep or delete. Closing the tab clears the converted audio from memory.
