Video to MP3 / WAV / OGG Extractor
Pull the audio out of any video file — pick MP3, WAV, or OGG, set bitrate, optionally trim, and download.
What this tool does
Pull the soundtrack out of a video — a podcast clip from a downloaded interview, audio from a Zoom recording for transcription, a song from a music video, voice notes from a screen recording. The tool decodes the video's audio track locally and re-encodes it to MP3 (universal compatibility — works on every player ever made), WAV (uncompressed, lossless, big files for editing software), or OGG Vorbis (smaller than MP3 at similar quality, popular on Linux and gaming). Bitrate is configurable for the lossy formats — 128 kbps is the classic "good enough" baseline, 192 kbps is transparent for most listeners, 320 kbps is overkill but sometimes required by archive standards. The whole conversion happens locally on your device — your video is never uploaded, never copied to a server, never logged. That privacy guarantee matters for the kind of recordings people typically extract audio from: meetings, interviews, voice notes, lectures, internal demos. Trimming is optional — drag the start and end sliders to grab a single quote without cutting the video first. There is no signup, no watermark, and no audible quality loss versus a desktop converter at the same bitrate.
How to use it
- Drop the file — Any video format with an audio track works (MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI). Audio-only files can be re-encoded too.
- Pick format — MP3 for compatibility everywhere. WAV when you need lossless for editing. OGG when filesize matters and the target supports it (Audacity, web).
- Set bitrate (lossy formats) — 192 kbps is a great default. Bump to 256/320 only if you need archival quality; drop to 96/128 for podcasts or voice notes where size matters.
- Trim and extract — Optionally drag the start/end sliders to grab just a segment. Hit Extract audio — first click downloads a one-time conversion engine (~25 MB), then encodes locally.
How the audio is encoded
When you trim a clip, only the selected segment is decoded — the converter does not have to read the entire video, which keeps phones responsive and saves time on long sources. The video stream is discarded entirely; only the audio track is read. MP3 output uses constant-bitrate encoding at the kbps you choose, which is the universally compatible format every podcast app, car stereo, voice recorder, and DAW expects. WAV output is uncompressed 16-bit PCM at the source's original sample rate — exactly what professional editing software like Audacity, Reaper, Logic Pro and Premiere want as input. OGG Vorbis is encoded at your chosen bitrate and is typically 10-20% smaller than MP3 at the same audible quality, with the trade-off of slightly less universal player support. Whichever format you pick, the audio quality you get is identical to a desktop converter — there is no in-browser quality penalty.
Format and bitrate quick guide
MP3 @ 128 kbps: ~1 MB per minute, perfect for podcasts. MP3 @ 192 kbps: ~1.4 MB/min, transparent for most listeners. MP3 @ 320 kbps: ~2.4 MB/min, archival-grade. WAV (44.1 kHz / 16-bit stereo): ~10 MB/min, lossless, for editing. OGG Vorbis @ 192 kbps: ~1.3 MB/min, slightly better than MP3 at the same bitrate but less universal.
