Step by step
- Open the MP4 to MP3 converter. Got a MOV, MKV or WebM video instead? The formats page lists every video you can turn into MP3, such as WebM to MP3.
- Drop your video in, or paste a direct link to it.
- Open the settings next to MP3 to choose the bitrate, and set trim start and end if you only need part of it.
- Select Convert and download the MP3.
Which bitrate?
- 96–128 kbps: speech, lectures, podcasts. Small files.
- 192 kbps: music for everyday listening.
- 320 kbps: the best MP3 quality, for music you care about.
The MP3 can't sound better than the soundtrack in the video, so a phone recording won't gain anything above 192 kbps.
MP3 or WAV?
Choose MP3 to listen, share or upload. Choose WAV if you'll edit the audio in Audacity or a DAW, or run it through transcription software: it's uncompressed, so editing won't add more quality loss. WAV files are about ten times bigger.
