Why convert Video to MP3?
This is the all-in-one option: whatever video format you have, from MP4 to MKV, MOV, WebM or AVI, you get its soundtrack as an MP3.
- MP3: plays on every device.
- MP3: small files.
If you only need part of the video, use Video to MP3 with Trim to save just that section.
Does converting Video to MP3 lose quality?
Only the sound is kept and re-encoded as MP3. Video soundtracks are usually AAC at 128–256 kbps, so choosing 192 kbps or more keeps the MP3 sounding the same as the video.
How long does it take?
Fast. Only the sound is decoded, so even a long video usually converts in well under a minute.
What is an MP3 file?
MP3 is the most widely used audio format in the world. It removes sounds people are unlikely to hear, shrinking a song to about a tenth of its CD size. At 192 kbps or higher most listeners cannot tell it from the original, and every device plays it. Its patents expired in 2017, so it is now free to use.
