or click to choose — MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV…
Preview of the result
The audio is extracted from the video. MP3 is small and plays everywhere; WAV is lossless but about ten times larger.

How to convert MP4 to MP3

  1. Drag a video into the box, for example an MP4, MOV or MKV.
  2. Choose MP3 and a bitrate (192 kbps is a good default), or WAV. For an MP4 with AAC audio you can also choose M4A: the original audio, lossless.
  3. Click Save audio and download the file.

Frequently asked questions

Which bitrate should I choose?

For speech, such as a lesson or a meeting, 128 kbps is enough. For music, 192 kbps is a good default; 320 kbps is the highest and gives the largest file. It will not sound better than the audio in the video.

What is the difference between MP3, WAV and M4A?

MP3 is small and plays everywhere. WAV is lossless, but about ten times as large. M4A appears for an MP4 with AAC audio: that is the audio exactly as it was in the video, without re-encoding it.

Can I trim the audio afterwards?

Yes, with Cut audio you keep only the part you need.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The work happens in your own browser, on your computer or phone: your file is not sent to our server. Only if you then choose to send the result as a download link is it uploaded.

Is it free?

Yes, up to a limit. Without an account you can do 3 operations per category (all PDF tools count together, for example) in a session, and with a free account 10 per category. If you need more, you need a subscription. See the prices.

Can I send the result straight away?

Yes. After the operation you can send the result as a download link, even if it is too large for an email attachment. To do so, sign in or create a free account.
