Video to audio conversion, with trimming
A video to audio converter keeps the sound and drops the picture. This one reads the audio stream in your video and encodes it as a standard MP3 that plays on any phone, computer or car stereo. It never processes the video frames, so it is much faster than converting a video to another video format.
Need only a section of the video? Type a start and end time in the Trim box above the drop area, for example 1:30 to 4:45, then add your file. Only that segment is converted, which is handy for saving a song from a concert clip, a quote from an interview, or one topic from a long lecture. Leave End empty to convert from your start time to the end of the video.
Pick 192 kbps for most videos, 320 kbps for high quality music, or 128 kbps to keep speech recordings small. Converting cannot add quality that the original audio did not have, so a poor recording still sounds poor as an MP3. Need WAV, FLAC or M4A instead? Try the Extract Audio from Video tool.

Video to MP3 FAQ
How do I convert a video to MP3?
Add your video to the converter on this page by clicking Choose files or dragging it onto the page, pick an MP3 quality, and the conversion starts automatically. When it finishes, click Download MP3. It is free, with no sign-up and no daily limit.
How do I convert a video to audio?
Add the video to the converter. It reads the audio track, drops the picture and saves the sound as an MP3 file. You can also trim the video first so that only the part you need is converted.
Can I convert only part of a video to MP3?
Yes. Enter a Trim start and end time, such as 1:30 and 4:45, before you add the file. Only that segment is converted. Leave the end empty to convert from your start time to the end of the video. The trim applies to every file you add.
Which video formats can I convert to MP3?
MP4, M4V, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, MPG, MPEG, VOB, TS, MTS and OGV files all work, as long as the video has an audio track. The file extension does not matter as much as what is inside the file.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The converter runs in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your video is read and converted on your own device and never sent to our servers. Only the converter engine itself is downloaded, once.
Can I convert a video link or YouTube URL to MP3?
No. This converter works on video files that are already on your device. It does not download videos from YouTube or other websites. If you have a video file that you own or have permission to use, choose it here.
What MP3 quality should I choose?
192 kbps is a good choice for most videos, 320 kbps gives the highest quality for music, and 128 kbps keeps speech recordings small. Converting cannot add quality the original audio did not have, so a poor recording still sounds poor as an MP3.
Is there a file size or length limit?
There is no upload limit because nothing is uploaded, so large files are fine. The practical limit is your device: in our tests a 1 GB, 21-minute video converted in about a minute on a computer, while phones and tablets work best with shorter videos.
Can I convert video to MP3 on iPhone, Android, Mac or Windows?
Yes. Open this page in Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox on any of them, choose a video, and download the MP3 when it is ready. On iPhone and iPad the file is saved to the Downloads folder in the Files app.
Can I convert video to MP3 offline?
Once this page and the converter engine have loaded, the conversion itself runs on your device and does not need an internet connection. The page has to load first, so it is not an offline app.
Can I convert a video to WAV or M4A instead?
This converter saves MP3 only, the audio format with the widest support on phones, computers and car stereos. For WAV, FLAC or M4A, use the Extract Audio from Video tool on this site.
How can I turn the audio into text?
After converting, click Transcribe to text next to your file to send the MP3 to TranscribeText's AI transcription. You get a transcript with timestamps that you can export as TXT or SRT subtitles.
Why is my first video to MP3 conversion slower?
Your browser has to download the converter engine (about 9 MB) the first time. After that it is cached, so the next videos start converting almost immediately.
Conversion is powered by FFmpeg via ffmpeg.wasm, running locally in your browser.
