Extract MP3 audio from video

Free, no watermark, no signup, and your file never leaves your device.

Sometimes the video is just packaging: a recorded lecture you want on your commute, a voice memo someone sent as a video, music from a clip you own. Extracting the audio track gives you a small MP3 instead of a bulky video file.

This tool decodes the audio from your video and re-encodes it as a 192 kbps MP3, the compatibility king that plays on everything from car stereos to twenty-year-old iPods. The video track is simply discarded; nothing is uploaded anywhere in the process.

Questions people ask

Why MP3 and not M4A or AAC?
AAC in an M4A is technically more efficient, but MP3's universal support still wins for portability, every device and app plays it. If you need M4A, tell us; it's on the roadmap.
Is the audio quality reduced?
The extraction re-encodes at 192 kbps, transparent for speech and very good for music. The source audio in most videos is 128-256 kbps to begin with, so little is lost.
How long does a big video take?
Audio-only processing is fast, decoding video frames is skipped entirely. Even long recordings extract in well under real time.
