Extract the audio from any video and save it as one of many useful audio formats — MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, or WMA — directly in your browser, and for free. Works with MP4, MOV, AVI, and more. No signup required, no software to install, no audio watermark on the output.
How to Convert Video to MP3
- Upload your video — Click "Select Video" or drag and drop the video file inside the dotted rectangle. The tool accepts MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WEBM, and other common video formats.
- Choose the audio format:
- MP3 — The best known and best all-around choice. Small files, plays on every device.
- WAV — Uncompressed, highest quality. Best for editing.
- AAC — Better quality than MP3 at the same file size. Common on Apple devices.
- FLAC — Lossless compression. Audiophile quality at smaller sizes than WAV.
- WMA — Microsoft's own format. Use only if your software specifically requires it.
- Click the Convert Video button — Wait for processing, then download your audio file.
Tip: If you're not sure which format to pick, go with MP3. It works on every phone, computer, car stereo, and media player. For professional audio editing, go with WAV — it's lossless and widely accepted by editors.
Audio Format Comparison
When to Extract Audio from Video
Save a Lecture or Meeting Recording as Audio
Recorded a Zoom call, lecture, or webinar? You probably don't need the video — just the audio. Convert it to MP3 and you can listen on your phone during a commute, workout, or walk without the video data taking up needless space. A 1-hour video meeting of 500MB becomes a 30MB MP3.
Create a Podcast from Video Content
If you record video podcasts or interviews, extracting the audio lets you publish on audio-only platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts) without re-recording. Upload your video, save as an MP3 (128–192 kbps is standard for podcasts), and you're ready to publish.
Extract Music or Voiceover for Editing
Working on a video project but only need the audio track? Extract it as WAV (for lossless quality) and import it into your audio editor (Audacity, Adobe Audition, GarageBand, etc.) for processing.
Save Phone Storage
Videos recorded on your phone eat storage fast. If you only need the audio (a voice memo, an interview, a conversation), extract it as an MP3 and delete the original video. You'll save 90–95% of the space and still have the important bit.
Listen to Lectures Offline
Downloaded a video lecture or training session? Convert it to MP3 and listen offline without keeping the large video file. If you're doing a long course, those files can soon mount up.
Video to MP3 vs. Audio Extractor — What's the Difference?
These two tools on this site are very similar and often used for the same task. The main difference is how people think about the task and what they search for. Both ultimately do the same thing — they take the audio from your video and save it as a separate audio file. We provide both pages because people search for different terms depending on what they're trying to do.
What Makes This Tool Different?
- 5 output formats — MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, and WMA (most free tools only offer MP3).
- Free, no watermark — Clean output, no added branding.
- No signup — Upload and extract immediately without giving away your email address.
- No software — Works in any browser on any device.
- Fast processing — Audio extraction is quicker than video conversion because no video re-encoding is required.
- Privacy-first — Files are encrypted during upload, never shared with third parties, and deleted after 24 hours.
- Works with iPhone video — MOV files from iPhone/iPad are supported natively.
