Frequently asked questions
How do I extract audio from MP4?
Drop your MP4 video file, choose the MP3 bitrate, and click Convert. The tool extracts only the audio track and saves it as an MP3 file.
Which bitrate should I choose?
192 kbps is a good balance between quality and file size for most music and podcasts. Use 128 kbps for smaller files or 320 kbps for maximum quality.
Can I convert other video formats to MP3?
Yes. This tool works with MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and AVI. It extracts the audio track from any video. For more audio formats, try the <a href="/tools/audio-converter">Audio Converter</a>.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. The video never leaves your device.
Why is it slow?
Browser-based encoding is slower than desktop apps because it uses a single CPU thread. A 5 minute video can take 2 to 3 minutes. Audio extraction is faster than video conversion.
