Question 1

How do I extract audio from a video?

Accepted Answer

Upload the video, choose the MP3 quality, and convert. The tool reads only the audio stream of your file and re-encodes it as a proper MP3 using FFmpeg's LAME encoder, the reference MP3 encoder. The picture is discarded entirely, which is why the result is a small audio file you can play anywhere, instead of a video with a black screen.

Question 2

Which quality should I choose?

Accepted Answer

High (VBR around 220 kbps) is transparent for music: almost nobody can hear a difference from the source. Medium (around 165 kbps) suits most listening. Standard (around 130 kbps) is plenty for speech: lectures, interviews, sermons and podcasts stay perfectly clear at a smaller size. If the video's own audio was poor, no setting improves it; extraction preserves, it does not restore.

Question 3

Which video formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Any format FFmpeg understands, which is effectively all of them: MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, FLV and more, including phone recordings. If a file uses a genuinely exotic codec the conversion will say so plainly rather than producing a broken MP3. The file never leaves your device either way, so trying costs nothing.

Question 4

Is it legal to convert videos to MP3?

Accepted Answer

Converting your own videos, recordings you made, lectures you are entitled to keep, and content whose licence allows it is fine everywhere. Downloading or ripping other people's copyrighted work without permission is a different matter and depends on your country and the source terms. This tool works on files you supply from your own device; what you are entitled to do with them is your call to make honestly.

Question 5

Can I extract audio from a long video, like a full lecture?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The practical limit is your device's memory, since the engine works in the browser: lectures and podcast-length videos convert comfortably on a desktop, and progress is shown while you wait. For a two-hour video on a phone, expect it to be slower; splitting the job with the video trimmer first, or using a desktop browser, is the smooth route.
