Convert video to MP3

Lectures, podcasts, interviews and songs are often trapped in a video file you cannot listen to in the background. Pull the audio out as an MP3 — and if you only want one section, clip it first so you download minutes instead of hours.

Works with public and direct video links.

How to use it

  1. Paste the video link and press Analyze Video.
  2. Choose Extract Audio.
  3. Pick the MP3 quality — 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps.
  4. Optionally set a start and end time to take only part of it.
  5. Press Extract and download the MP3.

Features

Audio only, not the video

When a source keeps audio in its own stream we read only that stream. Extracting an hour of audio then costs a fraction of downloading an hour of video.

Extract just one section

Only need 12:30 to 14:45? Set the range and that is all you get — and all we transfer.

Private by default

No sign-up, no tracking of what you process, and automatic deletion. Your links are never sent to analytics and your files are never made public.

Built for phones

Large touch targets, a timeline you can actually drag with a thumb, and a sticky action button. Works in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android without an app.

How it works technically

If the source audio is already in a compatible codec — AAC into M4A, for instance — we copy it straight across with no re-encode, which is both faster and lossless. MP3 always requires an encode because almost no video carries MP3 natively; we use LAME at the bitrate you pick. Above 192 kbps the difference is rarely audible on phone speakers or ordinary earbuds.

Frequently asked questions

Which MP3 bitrate should I pick?

192 kbps is the sensible default for music. For speech — lectures, podcasts, interviews — 128 kbps sounds the same and halves the file size. Choose 320 kbps only if you are keeping it for good.

Can I get M4A or WAV instead?

Yes — M4A, AAC and WAV are all available. M4A is usually the best choice because it is often copied without re-encoding, so it is both instant and lossless.

What happens to my file after processing?

It is deleted automatically. Your result is stored in a temporary folder for a short window so you can download it, then removed permanently along with any intermediate files. We do not publish, index, share or keep your media, and we never use it to train AI models.

Do I need to install any software?

No. Everything runs in your browser and on our servers, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone. There is no app to install and no account to create.

Can I process any video I find online?

Only content you own or are otherwise permitted to process. The service works with publicly accessible links and does not bypass DRM, paywalls, sign-in or any other access control. You are responsible for having the rights to the material you submit.
