How it works
ffmpeg.wasm or similar decodes media in WebAssembly workers, encodes output, and hands you a Blob URL for download.
How to use Video to MP3
- Choose a video or audio file within stated size limits.
- Wait for WASM modules to finish loading if a progress bar appears.
- Adjust trim, quality, or encode options before starting.
- Download the output file created in memory — nothing is stored on our servers.

Quick check
Use a 30-second clip first to validate quality before processing a long file.
When to use Video to MP3
Podcasters and editors need quick audio pulls without installing ffmpeg CLI or uploading sensitive footage.

Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Processing uses local WebAssembly (WASM) where needed — your files and data never leave your device.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is encoding slow?
- WASM lacks GPU acceleration on many browsers; shorter clips encode faster.
- Is my video uploaded?
- No. Bytes stay in memory on your device during processing.
- What file size works?
- Large files may exceed mobile RAM; try trimming first or use desktop Chrome.
