  • WASM

    FFmpeg core

    WebAssembly module initialized before conversion.

  • progress

    Process %

    FFmpeg progress callback mapped to 0–100%.

  • bitrate

Extract audio instantly

Pull audio out of MP4 files or package MP3 into MP4 entirely in your browser. The FFmpeg WebAssembly core shows a dedicated loading state, then a live percentage bar while it processes.

When to use this MP4 ↔ MP3

How to Convert MP4 ↔ MP3

  1. 1Wait for the FFmpeg.wasm engine to finish loading.
  2. 2Choose MP4 → MP3 or MP3 → MP4.
  3. 3Drop your media file into the dropzone.
  4. 4Click Convert and watch the live progress bar.
  5. 5Preview and download the result.

Governing formula

MP3 = FFmpeg(-vn -c:a libmp3lame, MP4); MP4 = FFmpeg(-c:a aac, MP3)

MP4 → MP3 strips video and encodes audio with LAME. MP3 → MP4 remuxes/encodes audio into an MP4/AAC container. Progress events drive the live percentage bar.

Use the defaults, then change one input at a time and read the updated result.

Practical guide

Using the MP4 ↔ MP3 Converter well

Who this is for

Creators pulling audio from video for podcasts, practice, or transcripts.

Worked example

Extract audio from an MP4 interview to MP3 for a smaller file you can scrub in an audio editor.

Quality follows the source

Conversion cannot invent fidelity that was never in the video. Use the highest practical source bitrate when quality matters.

Common pitfalls

  • Expecting studio quality from a compressed video soundtrack
  • Violating copyright when redistributing extracted audio

Frequently Asked Questions

Very usable on mobile. Would love a save/export option later, but the math feels solid.

The FAQ section answered my questions before I even had to search. Smooth dark mode too.

Simple inputs, clear outputs. This replaced three bookmarks I used to juggle.
