About this tool
This takes the sound from a video and saves it as an MP3. It works on MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV files: upload the video, pick a bitrate, and download an audio file you can play anywhere. Use it when the picture was never the point — a talk, a lesson, an interview, a song.

What it will not do
Worth knowing before you upload, rather than after.
- The picture is discarded — you get audio only.
- A video with no sound fails, because there is nothing to convert.
- If a video has several audio tracks, such as two languages, only one is converted.
- Free files are limited to 100MB and 20 minutes.
Questions
How do I convert a video to MP3?
Choose the video above, keep the bitrate at 192 kbps unless you need a smaller or higher-quality file, and press Run. Download the MP3 when the job is done.
Which video formats can I convert to MP3?
MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV, plus most other common formats. The MP3 is the same whichever one you start from.
Can I convert a YouTube video to MP3?
Not from a link. This converts files you upload; it does not download from YouTube or other streaming sites.
MP3 or M4A — which should I get?
MP3 plays on everything. M4A, from the Extract audio from video tool, is also widely supported and is what Apple apps prefer. Either is fine for most uses.
Is it free?
Yes — free, no account, no watermark, for files up to 100MB and 20 minutes long.
What happens to my file?
Your upload goes to private storage that is never public and never listed, and only the anonymous session that created the job can read it. The original file is deleted as soon as processing succeeds. The result stays available for about 90 minutes, and you can delete everything immediately with the Delete now button.
