Video to MP3 Converter
Extract the audio from a video file and save it as MP3 (or WAV) — right in your browser. Drop an MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, or Ogg you already have and pull out the soundtrack. Nothing is uploaded; everything is processed locally.
How to Use
- Drop a video file you have on your device — MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, or Ogg work directly.
- Choose MP3 (pick a bitrate) or WAV for the output.
- Click Extract — the audio is decoded and encoded locally, in seconds.
- Download the audio file. The video never leaves your device.
Drop a video file or click to browse
MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, Ogg — the audio is extracted in your browser, nothing uploaded
Pull the audio out of any video — privately
Got a video and you only want the sound? Drop it here and this extracts the audio track and hands you back an MP3 or a lossless WAV, all inside your browser. It works on MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM and Ogg, reading the audio straight out of the file with your browser's own decoders — so your footage and the audio you get back never touch a server, and there's no big engine to download. That makes it safe and fast for personal recordings, interviews, lectures, gig footage, and anything else that's yours. (Got an MKV or AVI? Remux it to MP4 first, then drop it here.)
MP3 is the right pick when you just want to listen — it's small and plays on everything; choose 192–320 kbps for great quality. Pick WAV when you need lossless audio to drop into an editor or DAW.
What about YouTube?
A lot of people land here looking to turn a YouTube video into an MP3, so let's be straight about it: no in-browser tool can download from a YouTube link — YouTube doesn't allow it, and ripping copyrighted videos breaks YouTube's Terms of Service. This converter works on video files you already have on your device. The legitimate ways to get audio from YouTube are YouTube Premium (which lets you download videos for offline use in the app) and, if it's your own upload, downloading it from YouTube Studio. Once you have a file you're allowed to use, drop it above and you'll have the MP3 in seconds — without uploading anything or trusting a sketchy ripper site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a YouTube video to MP3?
This tool converts video files you already have on your device — it does not download from YouTube links, and no in-browser tool legitimately can (YouTube blocks that, and stream-ripping copyrighted videos violates YouTube's Terms of Service). The legal way to get audio from YouTube: a YouTube Premium subscription lets you download videos for offline use in the app, and creators can download their own uploads from YouTube Studio. Once you have a video file you're allowed to use, drop it here and this extracts the MP3 in seconds — privately, on your own machine.
Which video formats can I use?
MP4, MOV (QuickTime), M4V, WebM, and Ogg work directly — the browser decodes the audio track straight out of the container. MKV and AVI aren't decodable in the browser; if you have one of those, remux it to MP4 first (most editors and tools can do this) and then drop it here.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The decoding and encoding run entirely in your browser — your video and the resulting audio never leave your device. That makes it safe for personal recordings, screen captures, and private footage. There's nothing to upload and nothing to download to get started.
Should I pick MP3 or WAV?
MP3 for a small, share-everywhere file (192–320 kbps sounds great for most listening). WAV if you want lossless audio to edit in a DAW or video editor. MP3 is the right choice for music and podcasts you just want to listen to.
Why is it so fast with no upload?
Modern browsers already include the audio decoders for common video containers, so this reads the audio track directly — no big engine to download, no server round-trip. The only library it uses is a tiny MP3 encoder that loads in a fraction of a second.
How do I use the Video to MP3 Converter?
Simply type or paste your value and read the result, which refreshes the instant you change something. There is nothing to submit and nothing to wait for.
Is it free? Does it work without internet?
Yes to both. It is free with no sign-up, and once the page has loaded it keeps working even with no internet.
Where does my data go?
Nowhere — every calculation runs on your own device. Nothing you enter is uploaded, logged, or stored.
