Why convert MP4 to MP3?

Converting MP4 to MP3 is useful when:

  • you want to listen to a conference or course without watching the video,
  • you’re turning a recorded video into a podcast episode,
  • you only need the music or soundtrack from a clip,
  • you want to save storage by stripping away the video track.

MP3 files are:

  • much smaller than videos,
  • supported by all audio players,
  • easy to send via email or messaging apps,
  • perfect for offline listening on the go.

What bitrate should you use?

The bitrate controls both audio quality and file size:

  • 128 kbps – good enough for voice content (talks, lectures, interviews).
  • 192 kbps – solid balance for most use cases.
  • 256–320 kbps – higher quality, ideal for music and important soundtracks.

Higher bitrate = better quality, but also a larger file.

FAQ: MP4 to MP3

Is my original MP4 deleted?

No. The converter creates a new MP3 file from your video. Your original MP4 stays exactly where it is.

Can I convert multiple MP4 files at once?

Yes, you can queue multiple videos and convert them in one session — perfect for turning a whole course or playlist into audio.

Will the audio quality drop?

MP3 is a compressed format, but with a proper bitrate (for example 192 kbps or higher for music), it will sound very good for most listeners and devices.

Will my MP3 play on any device?

Yes. MP3 is one of the most widely supported audio formats and works on virtually all phones, computers, and modern car stereos.
