How to convert video to MP3 online

01

Pick format and quality

Choose MP3, M4A (AAC) or lossless WAV and a bitrate from 128 to 320 kbps. Turn on Normalize volume if the recording's microphone was quiet. Your choices are remembered for next time.

02

Drop your video

Select or drag in any MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, or WebM file. FFmpeg extracts the audio locally — nothing is sent to a server — and the progress bar shows what's happening.

03

Listen, then download

Play the result right on the page to check it, then download. Want a different format or bitrate? Change the setting and re-export the same file without uploading it again.

Screen recording to MP3

A screen recording to MP3 conversion only needs the audio track. Drop a QuickTime, Screenshot toolbar, or Screen Charm recording here and download the sound as MP3. The picture is discarded, so the file is small enough to drop into a podcast app, a transcript, or an email.

Screen record to MP3 works the same way for any other video — MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, or WebM. If the recording has no sound, the MP3 will be silent. Record the mic or system audio first, then convert. The screen record with audio on Mac guide covers that setup, and no sound on a Mac screen recording covers the usual fixes.

Why extract audio from a video?

Pull the narration from a tutorial

Recorded a screen tutorial with your voice? Extract the audio track to reuse as a podcast episode, voice-over, or transcript source.

Save a conference call recording

Got a Zoom or Teams video you only need the audio from? Convert it to MP3 and listen back at 1.5× speed in any podcast app.

Use video music in other projects

Background music recorded in a video can be extracted as MP3 and added to slide decks, other videos, or shared as a standalone track.

Reduce file size for sharing

An MP3 audio file is a fraction of the size of the original video — making it easier to email, upload, or store in the cloud.
