Frequently asked questions

Does this extract only the audio from the video?
Yes. The video track is discarded and only the soundtrack is saved as an MP3, so the download is far smaller than the video and plays in any audio app — handy for turning a talk, interview or music video into something you can listen to with the screen off.
Which video formats can I use to extract audio?
Any format the converter accepts — MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV, WebM. Just upload the video and choose MP3 as output; the audio is pulled straight out of the file, so there is nothing to re-record or download twice.
Can I extract audio from several MP4 videos at once?
Yes. Add all your MP4 files together and click Convert — each one's audio is extracted as a separate MP3, so a whole folder of clips becomes a set of MP3s in one pass.
Will the audio quality drop when I extract MP3 from MP4?
The audio inside an MP4 is usually AAC, and saving it as MP3 re-encodes it, so there is a small one-time quality step. At the default bitrate it is inaudible for speech and fine for music — most extracted MP3s land around 128–192 kbps, which matches typical streaming quality. The MP3 can never sound better than the track already in the video, only more compatible.
Is there a size or length limit for the video?
You can upload files up to 2 GB, which is several hours of audio, so full lectures, interviews, sermons and long recordings convert to a single MP3 without being trimmed or split.
Can I do this on my phone and use the MP3 as a podcast or ringtone?
Yes. Open Converters.live in any mobile browser, upload the MP4 and download the MP3 — no app to install. The result is a standard MP3 that plays in podcast apps, music players and car stereos; for a ringtone, upload a short clip, since most phones cap ringtones at 30–40 seconds.

About MP4 and MP3

Key things to know before you convert MP4 to MP3:

MP4

MP4 with H.264 is the universal video format: phones, TVs, browsers, editors and messengers all play it. When in doubt, send MP4.

MP3

MP3 is the most compatible audio format in existence: every player of the last 25 years handles it. Less efficient than modern codecs, but compatibility usually wins.
