How to turn a video into MP3 on your phone or computer

Recorded a lecture on video but want to listen to it like a podcast? Need the audio track from an interview, a webinar or your own footage? You do not need any software or queue-based converters — the audio comes out of the video right in your browser.

Three steps

  1. Open the video to MP3 converter — it works on phones and computers alike.
  2. Drag your video into the box or pick it with the button. MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV all work — whatever your phone, camera or screen recorder produces.
  3. Press "Convert to MP3" and download the result.

Even an hour-long recording takes minutes: the file is never uploaded and never waits in a queue — all the work happens on your device.

What quality you get

The MP3 is encoded at 192 kbps — the standard bitrate of music streaming services: plenty for speech, and "indistinguishable on regular headphones" territory for music. And if the video's audio is already stored as MP3, the track is simply copied as is, with no re-encoding at all.

Need something better or smaller? On the same page you can pick M4A — the AAC track inside an MP4 is then often copied without re-encoding and zero quality loss — or WAV, uncompressed audio for further editing.

Frequently asked questions

Is this legal? With your own recordings — absolutely. With other people's works the usual copyright rules apply: saving something you have access to for personal listening is one thing, distributing it is quite another.

Will a video without audio convert? No — if the clip has no audio track, the tool says so immediately instead of after a long wait.

What if I only need a fragment? First trim the video down to the piece you need — it takes seconds — then convert that fragment to MP3.
