## How it works

Choose a video with audio. The picture track is ignored and the soundtrack is encoded as MP3.

## Result

A standalone high-quality MP3 file for music players, podcast tools, transcription, and audio editors.

## Limitations

The source must contain a readable audio track. MP3 encoding cannot restore quality that is missing from the original recording.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which video formats can provide the audio?

The tool accepts common video containers including MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and AVI when their audio codec can be decoded.

### Does the MP3 contain any video?

No. The downloaded file contains the extracted audio only.
