    How it works

    1. Drop the video. MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV — the audio track is found automatically.
    2. Extract. The soundtrack is decoded and re-encoded as a VBR MP3 at roughly 190 kbps.
    3. Download. Save the MP3 straight from your browser.

    When you only need the sound

    A recorded meeting, a conference talk, a lecture, a podcast published as video — in all of these the picture is dead weight. Extracting the audio typically cuts the file by 90% and makes it playable on anything, including devices with no video support.

    Why MP3 rather than a stream copy

    Most video files carry AAC audio. Copying that stream out untouched is faster and lossless, but produces an .m4a — which some players and transcription tools still refuse. Re-encoding to MP3 costs one lossy generation and buys universal playback; at 190 kbps VBR that generation is inaudible for speech and near-inaudible for music.

    Next steps

    Need a different audio format or a mono downmix for transcription? Run the result through the audio converter, which can output WAV or re-encode MP3 at a specific bitrate and channel count.

    Frequently asked questions

    What quality is the extracted MP3?

    It is encoded at LAME quality level 2 — variable bitrate averaging roughly 190 kbps, which is transparent for almost all material and much better than a fixed 128 kbps.

    Can I extract audio without re-encoding?

    Not here. Video soundtracks are usually AAC, and copying that stream out would give you an .m4a rather than an MP3. This tool re-encodes so the result plays everywhere.

    Does it work with any video format?

    MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI and more — anything the built-in engine can demux, which is nearly everything.

    Is my video uploaded?

    No. The extraction runs in your browser, which matters for recorded meetings, interviews and lectures.

    Can I choose a time range before extracting?

    No. This tool converts the complete audio track from the video. Trim the video first if you only need one section, because there are no start and end controls here.
