Extract audio from any video
Recorded a lecture, interview, podcast, DJ set, sermon or voice memo as video and only need the sound? VidShift's video to MP3 converter pulls the audio track out of any common video container - MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and more - and saves it as a standard MP3 that plays on every phone, car stereo, smart speaker and music app. It is the quick way to turn a screen recording of a meeting into a file you can listen to on the commute, or to lift the soundtrack from a clip you want to reuse.
Choose the bitrate that suits you: 128 kbps for the smallest files when the source is speech, 192 kbps as a balanced default for most content, or 320 kbps for the highest MP3 quality when the audio is music and you want it to sound its best. There is no point setting a bitrate higher than the source, so options above your file's original quality are hidden automatically.
Prefer to keep the original audio untouched? Select Match source to copy the existing bitrate rather than re-encoding, or export to AAC, WAV or FLAC when you need a lossless file or a specific format instead of MP3. Whatever you pick, only the audio is processed, so extraction is far quicker than a full video conversion.
Everything runs in your browser, so even a two-hour recording is processed without uploading a single byte. That keeps your audio private, removes any file size cap, and means there is no waiting on a slow upload before the work can start. If you specifically have an MP4, our dedicated MP4 to MP3 converter targets that format directly.
