Extract the audio track from an MP4 video as an MP3 in your browser — files never leave your device.
About the MP4 to MP3
Want just the sound from a video — a lecture, interview, song, or podcast recording? Handytool extracts the audio track from your MP4 and saves it as an MP3, all in your browser. It doesn't re-film the video; it pulls the existing audio and encodes it to a compact, universally playable MP3. Powered by FFmpeg WebAssembly, nothing is ever uploaded.

MP4 to MP3 FAQ
- How do I convert MP4 to MP3?
- Drop your MP4 file onto the upload area (or click Choose file), pick the output quality if you like, then click Extract. Download the MP3 when it's ready.
- Does MP4 to MP3 keep the video?
- No. This tool extracts only the audio track and discards the video, so you're left with a compact MP3 of just the sound.
- Will the audio quality be as good as the original?
- The MP3 is encoded from the video's existing audio track. At a high bitrate it's very close to the source; MP3 is lossy, so pick a higher bitrate to keep quality maximal.
- How long can the video be?
- Because processing happens on your own device, longer videos take more time and memory, but there's no server-imposed size cap. Very large files depend on your device's available RAM.
- Is my video uploaded to a server?
- No. The audio is extracted entirely inside your browser and your video never leaves your device. Nothing is stored or logged.
