A speech, a nasheed, a podcast clip, a voiceover you recorded on your phone: often the part of a video you actually need is the sound. The Video to MP3 Converter pulls the audio track out of any video and saves it as an MP3 in a few seconds.
How to convert a video to MP3
- Open Video to MP3 and drop in your video.
- Pick the MP3 quality:
- 128 kbps – smaller files, fine for speech.
- 192 kbps – the recommended default for most uses.
- 320 kbps – best quality, for music.
- Press Start. Listen to the preview and download the MP3.
Which videos work?
MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV files that have an audio track, including videos recorded on iPhone and Android. If a video has no sound, the tool tells you instead of creating an empty file.
Practical uses
- Voiceovers: record your narration on your phone’s camera, then pull out the audio for your edit.
- Transcription: an MP3 is much smaller than a video, so it uploads faster to transcription services.
- Podcasts: turn a video interview into an audio episode.
- Editing: separate the sound so you can clean it up in Audacity before putting it back.
