Video to Audio Converter
Video to audio saves just the sound of a video — from a link or a file on your computer — as MP3 to play anywhere, M4A for iPhone and Apple Music, or lossless WAV for editing. Files are converted in your browser and never uploaded; links keep the title and cover. M4A is available for links.
Works with most video pages and direct video links.
Key facts
- Three audio formats: MP3 (128–320 kbps), M4A (AAC) and WAV (16-bit PCM).
- Rough size per minute: MP3 320 ≈ 2.4 MB, M4A ≈ 1 MB, WAV ≈ 10.6–11.5 MB.
- Links: MP3, M4A or WAV, up to 2 hours. Files: MP3 or WAV, converted in the browser.
MP3, M4A or WAV?
All three hold the same sound; they differ in size and in what opens them. Pick by what you'll do next:
| Format | Pick it when | Size per minute | Works from |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP3 | You want a file every phone, car and player can play | 1–2.4 MB | Links and files |
| M4A | You listen on iPhone, iPad or Apple Music | ~1 MB | Links |
| WAV | You'll edit, mix or transcribe the audio | ~11 MB | Links and files |
Not sure? MP3 at 320 kbps plays everywhere. The format comparison goes deeper.
