Why People Convert Video to MP3
A video file carries a picture you often do not need. A lecture, a concert you filmed, a sermon or an interview is just as useful as sound, and as an MP3 it is a fraction of the size, plays on every phone and car stereo, and fits in a podcast app or a playlist. A video to MP3 converter drops the picture and keeps the audio. These are the problems it solves most often.
- Videos that eat gigabytes of phone storage when you only want to listen
- Talks and lessons you would rather hear on a run than watch on a screen
- Clips that will not play in music apps, car stereos or audio editors
- Upload sites that are slow, add limits or keep a copy of your files
- Converting a folder of videos one file at a time
What You Get With This Free Video to MP3 Converter
Everything happens in your browser tab, so a video to audio converter free of uploads can still be fast and full of options.
Nothing Is Uploaded
The video is opened and converted on your own device. There is no upload, no server queue and no copy kept anywhere, which makes it the safest way to convert private recordings.
Choose the Quality
Pick MP3 at 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps, or WAV at 16 or 24 bit. Keep the original sample rate or set 44.1 or 48 kHz, in stereo or mono.
Batch Conversion
Add a whole folder of clips. Each file gets its own progress bar in the queue, and you can download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.
Trim, Fade and Normalize
Cut the intro and outro, add a gentle fade in and out, and normalize the volume so quiet recordings play louder.
Title, Artist and Cover
Write ID3 tags into the MP3 so it shows up properly in music apps, car stereos and podcast players, cover image included.
Text From the Audio
Need the words too? One click sends the finished audio to the EzTranscriber transcriber for a transcript with timestamps (sign-in applies there).
How to Convert Video to MP3 in Three Steps
Here is how to turn video into audio on a computer, an iPhone or an Android phone, how to turn videos into audio files in bulk, and how to convert screen recording to audio file formats, with nothing to install.
- 1
Add your videos
Drag one or more videos into the box above or tap to pick them. MP4, MOV, WEBM and MKV files that your browser can read open right away, and a file it cannot read is flagged before you start, so there are no surprises halfway through a batch.
- 2
Pick MP3 or WAV
Choose MP3 to change video to MP3, or WAV for editing, then trim, fade, normalize or fill in the title and artist if you like. The size of each output file is estimated before you convert.
- 3
Convert and download
Click Convert. The audio is encoded in your browser, and each finished MP3 can be played, downloaded on its own or saved with the rest in one ZIP.
Features of the EzTranscriber Video to Audio Converter
Built for people who convert video to audio every week, not just once.
Convert Videos to MP3 in Batches
Most online converters make you upload, wait and download one clip at a time. Here you can convert videos to MP3 in one go: drop twenty clips from a shoot, a semester of recorded lectures or a folder of phone videos, and the queue works through them one after another while you keep browsing. Remove a file, cancel the batch or change the settings at any point, and when it finishes, download every MP3 in a single ZIP with the original file names. It is the quickest way to change video into MP3 for a whole folder and keep your videos in MP3 form for listening.
Convert a BatchPick the Right MP3 Quality for Every Video
Speech sounds clean at 128 kbps and takes about a megabyte a minute, while music deserves 256 or 320 kbps. Choose WAV when the audio is heading to an editor and you want every detail kept, at 16 bit for everyday use or 24 bit for production work. You can also downmix to mono for spoken word and set the sample rate. The estimated size updates as you change settings, so you know what each video to audio file will weigh before you start. Need a video to sound file for an editor? WAV is the one.
Choose a QualityVideo to MP3 With Proper Tags and Cover Art
A file called VID_2041.mp3 is hard to find in a music library. Before you convert, add a title, artist, album and year, and attach a cover image. The tags are written into the MP3 the standard way, so the track shows a name and artwork in iTunes, Windows, Android music apps and most car stereos. It turns a quick video to MP3 file into a tidy track you can actually find later, which no basic video to sound converter bothers with.
Add TagsTurn Video to Audio, Then Audio to Text
Lectures, interviews and meetings are often converted because someone needs the words. When the MP3 is ready, one click opens it in the EzTranscriber transcriber with speaker labels and timestamps. For text straight from the clip, open video to text, for captions use audio to SRT, and for an MP4 recording there is MP4 to text.

Three phone and screen recordings in different formats go through the same queue. Change the setting and the estimated sizes update the way they do in the real tool: at 128 kbps a 20 minute talk shrinks from hundreds of megabytes of video to about 19 MB of MP3 from video, small enough to email. Unlike an MP3 from video converter that uploads first, nothing here leaves your computer.

Journalists
Keep interview audio light enough to email, then turn it into a quotable transcript with timestamps.

What Users Say About Turning Video Into Audio
I recorded a whole semester of lectures on my phone. Converting them all to MP3 in one batch freed up almost 40 GB, and now I study on the train.
Priya Sharma
Nursing Student
Our church films every service. I drop the video in, set 128 kbps mono with the right title, and the podcast episode is ready in minutes.
Daniel Okafor
Media Volunteer
What sold me is that nothing gets uploaded. Some of our interview footage is under embargo, so this is the only converter we are allowed to use.
Helena Fischer
Newsroom Producer
I edit on a laptop with little free space. I export the location sound as 24 bit WAV, trim it here and send it to the mixer without opening a big editor.

Video Editor
Video to MP3 Converter FAQs
Quick answers about turning video into MP3 and other audio files.
How can I convert video to MP3?
Drop the video into the box at the top of this page, choose MP3 and a bitrate, and click Convert. The audio is encoded in your browser at about ten times real time, so a 30 minute talk takes around three minutes and WAV is almost instant, with no sign-in and no upload. That is all there is to how to convert video to audio on Windows, Mac or a phone, and how to turn video into MP3 in bulk too.
Is this video to MP3 converter free?
Yes. It is free of charge, with no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because the work runs on your own device instead of our servers. Only the optional transcript of the audio uses credits, and new accounts get free credits for that too.
Are my videos uploaded anywhere?
No. The video is read and converted inside your browser tab and never sent to a server. Close the tab and nothing is left behind, which is why newsrooms and schools use it for private recordings.
Which video formats can I convert?
Chrome and Edge read MP4, MOV, M4V and WEBM, and MKV files with AAC or Opus sound; Safari reads MP4 and MOV. Every video file to MP3 job can be up to 1 GB and 60 minutes long. AVI is not supported, so to convert AVI to MP3, save the clip as MP4 in your video app first. If a file cannot be read, the queue says so before you convert.
How to change video to audio on an iPhone?
Open this page in Safari, tap the upload box and pick a clip from Photos or Files. You do not need an app to convert video to MP3 (iPhone, iPad and Mac work the same way): the file downloads to the Files app, ready to play or share. The same steps convert iPhone video to audio as WAV. Very long clips can run out of memory on a phone, so convert those on a computer.
What bitrate should I choose?
128 kbps is plenty for speech and keeps files small. Choose 192 or 256 kbps for music you listen to every day, and 320 kbps for the best MP3 quality. For editing or archiving, pick WAV, which keeps the audio without compression.
How to convert video to audio file without losing quality?
MP3 is a compressed format, so a little detail is always lost, but at 256 or 320 kbps it is very hard to hear. If you need the sound exactly as recorded, choose WAV instead, which turns a video into audio file form with no compression at all.
How to convert videos into MP3 all at once?
Add as many files as you like and the queue converts them one after another. Download each MP3 on its own or everything as one ZIP, with each file keeping its original name. The same answer covers how to convert video file to audio in batches on a PC or Mac.
Can I cut part of the video before converting?
Yes. Trim the start and end on the waveform, add a fade in or out and normalize the volume, then convert only the part you need. It is also how to make a video into audio clips for a ringtone, a podcast intro or a voice note. Can I make a screen recording my ringtone? Yes, the same way: trim it to the part you want and convert.
Can you turn a screen recording into an MP3?
Yes. A screen recording is just a video, so you can convert screen recording to MP3 like any other clip: this page works as a screen recording to MP3 converter for phones and computers. Phone recordings save as MP4 or MOV and many computer ones as WEBM. That is how to turn screen recording into MP3, and choosing WAV is how to convert a screen recording into an audio file for editing.
Can I download MP3 from video links on YouTube or TikTok?
No. This tool converts video files that are already on your device, so it never downloads from websites or apps. Save a video you have the rights to use, then add the file here.
Can I get a transcript of the video?
Yes. After converting, click Transcribe to open the audio in the EzTranscriber transcriber, which adds speaker labels and timestamps (sign-in applies). Or start from video to text.
What is the difference between MP4 and MP3?
MP4 is a container for picture and sound, while MP3 holds sound only. Converting keeps the audio and drops the picture, which usually makes the file far smaller. The MP4 to MP3 page has more tips for MP4 files in particular.
