How to Convert Video to MP3
Sometimes you only need the sound of a video – a lecture, a speech, an interview, a song you recorded or a voice memo you filmed with your phone. Converting the video to MP3 gives you a small audio file you can listen to anywhere.
Why Convert Video to MP3?
- Listen to lectures, meetings or speeches while walking or driving.
- Save space: an MP3 is usually many times smaller than the video.
- Send a recording by WhatsApp or e-mail more easily.
- Use the sound in a presentation, podcast or another video.
How to Convert Video to MP3 with EOConvert
- Open the Video to MP3 converter.
- Choose your video file. MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and other common formats are supported.
- Start the conversion and wait until the MP3 is ready.
- Download the MP3 file.
Which Quality Should You Choose?
MP3 quality is measured in kilobits per second (kbps). Higher numbers sound better but make larger files.
- 128 kbps – enough for speech, lectures and voice recordings.
- 192 kbps – a very good balance for music and speech.
- 320 kbps – the highest MP3 quality, best for music.
Converting cannot make the sound better than the original video. If the recording is quiet or noisy, the MP3 will be too. If you want to choose the quality yourself, use our Audio Converter, which also accepts MP4 and WEBM videos.
Converting Videos from Your Phone
You can use EOConvert directly in the browser on your phone. Choose the video from your gallery, convert it and save the MP3. iPhone videos are usually MOV files and work the same way.
If you only need part of the sound, trim the video first with the Video Trimmer, or cut the MP3 afterwards with the Audio Trimmer.
Use Only Videos You Have the Right to Use
Convert your own recordings or videos you have permission to use. Music, films and other content made by others are usually protected by copyright.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much smaller is the MP3 than the video?
It depends on the video, but the MP3 is often 10 to 50 times smaller, because the picture is removed and only the sound is kept.
Can I convert an M4A or WhatsApp voice message to MP3?
Yes. Use M4A to MP3 for M4A files and WhatsApp Audio to MP3 for voice messages.
Is the video kept on the server?
Your file is used only to create the MP3. Do not upload videos containing information you do not want to process online.
