Convert MP4 to MP3

Free, in your browser, with no watermark and no signup. This produces an audio file, discarding any video track.

Why you have a MP4 file

Sometimes only the sound matters: pulling the audio from an interview to transcribe it, lifting a voiceover out of a finished edit, or turning a video into something you can listen to without watching.

What the conversion actually does

The video track is discarded entirely and the audio track is encoded to MP3. Because the picture is usually the overwhelming majority of a video file, the result is dramatically smaller.

Worth knowing first

This throws the video away permanently, so keep the original. And the audio is only as good as it was in the video; extracting cannot recover what a bad microphone never captured.
