EXTRACT AUDIO FROM VIDEO
Drag & drop your video file here
MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WEBM, FLV, M4V, 3GP, WMV, VOB
KlipTools Video to MP3 Converter lets you extract audio from any video file quickly and for free. Whether you need the soundtrack from a home video, a podcast episode recorded as video, or background music from a clip, this tool handles it in seconds. Upload MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, FLV, or virtually any video format and export to MP3, AAC, OGG, WAV, FLAC, or M4A.
Everything runs through our secure server — no desktop software to install, no browser extensions required. Just upload, pick your format and quality, and download the extracted audio. Your files are processed in memory and immediately discarded after conversion, so your data stays private.
Need lossless quality? Choose WAV or FLAC. Want a compact file for your phone? MP3 at 128 kbps keeps file sizes small. Our converter gives you full control over output format and bitrate so you always get exactly what you need.
MP4 (MPEG-4) — The universal video standard. Used by smartphones, cameras, streaming platforms, and virtually every modern device. Supports H.264, H.265, and AAC audio.
WebM — Google’s open, royalty-free format optimized for the web. Common on YouTube, HTML5 video players, and web applications. Uses VP8/VP9 video with Vorbis or Opus audio.
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) — Microsoft’s legacy container format. Still widely used for high-quality video archiving and older media libraries. Supports a broad range of codecs.
MOV (QuickTime) — Apple’s native video format. Standard output from iPhones, iPads, and macOS screen recordings. Common in professional video editing workflows.
MKV (Matroska) — A flexible open-source container that can hold unlimited audio, video, and subtitle tracks. Popular for HD and 4K movie files, anime, and media collections.
FLV (Flash Video) — Originally designed for Adobe Flash Player. Still encountered in archived web videos and legacy streaming content.
M4V — Apple’s variant of MP4, often used by iTunes and Apple TV. Functionally identical to MP4 for audio extraction.
3GP — A compact format designed for mobile phones with limited storage. Common in older phone recordings.
WMV (Windows Media Video) — Microsoft’s proprietary format. Found in older Windows applications and media libraries.
VOB (Video Object) — The container format used on DVD-Video discs. Extract audio from your DVD backups easily.
Bitrate determines how much data is used to represent each second of audio. Here is a practical guide:
KlipTools supports all major video formats including MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, MKV, FLV, M4V, 3GP, WMV, and VOB. If your video plays in a media player, it will almost certainly work here. The converter uses FFmpeg on the server side, which handles hundreds of container formats and codecs.
The maximum file size is 500 MB. This covers the vast majority of video files including full-length movies, multi-hour recordings, and high-resolution clips. If your file exceeds this limit, consider trimming it with a video editor before uploading.
For lossy formats (MP3, AAC, OGG, M4A), you can choose from Best (codec default), 320 kbps, 256 kbps, 192 kbps, or 128 kbps. For lossless formats (WAV, FLAC), the full audio quality from the original video is preserved regardless of bitrate settings. We recommend 256 kbps or 320 kbps for music and 128 kbps for speech content.
Currently, the converter processes one video at a time. To convert multiple files, simply upload and convert each one sequentially. Each conversion typically takes only a few seconds, so processing several files is still fast.
Basic metadata such as duration and audio channel information is carried over. However, specific metadata like artist name, album title, or cover art from the original video may not be preserved in all output formats. You can add ID3 tags to the resulting audio file using any free tag editor.
Yes, 100% free with no hidden costs, watermarks, or usage limits. There is no account registration required. You can convert as many videos as you like, as often as you need. The tool is supported by minimal, non-intrusive advertising.
Absolutely. Your video file is uploaded to our server solely for processing. It is held in memory during conversion and immediately discarded once the audio has been extracted and sent back to your browser. We do not store, view, or share your files. No one has access to your content.
Yes. The converter is fully responsive and works on iOS (Safari, Chrome) and Android (Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet) devices. You can upload videos directly from your phone’s camera roll or file manager and download the extracted audio to your device.
MP3 is the most universally compatible audio format — it plays on virtually every device and application. AAC offers better sound quality than MP3 at the same bitrate and is the default format for Apple devices and YouTube. OGG (Vorbis) is an open-source format with excellent quality, commonly used in gaming, streaming, and Linux environments. For maximum compatibility, choose MP3. For better quality at smaller sizes, choose AAC.
Most conversions complete in 5 to 30 seconds depending on the video file size and your internet connection speed. A 100 MB video typically converts in under 15 seconds. The server-side timeout is 3 minutes, which is sufficient for even the largest supported files.
Yes, as long as the file is under the 500 MB size limit. A one-hour 720p MP4 video is typically around 200-400 MB, well within the limit. The conversion timeout is 3 minutes, which is enough to process most files of this size.
This tool is designed for converting video files you already have on your device. It does not download videos from YouTube or other streaming platforms. If you need to download a video first, check out our Video Downloader tool, then use this converter to extract the audio.
The converter works in all modern browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera, and Brave. Both desktop and mobile versions are supported. We recommend using the latest version of your browser for the best experience.
The converter is optimized for simplicity: you choose the format and bitrate, and our server handles the rest using optimal encoding settings. Sample rate and channel configuration are automatically matched to the source audio. For most users, selecting the right bitrate is all that is needed to get excellent results.
This tool extracts the complete audio track from your video. If you need to trim the audio to a specific segment, convert the full track first, then use a dedicated audio editor or our other tools to cut it to the desired length.
If your video file contains multiple audio tracks (common in MKV files with different language tracks), the converter will extract the default or first audio track. This is typically the primary language track. If you need a specific secondary track, a desktop tool like FFmpeg or VLC can help you select it before conversion.
The converter is simply a tool — it does not impose any licensing restrictions on your output files. Whether you can use the audio commercially depends on the copyright and licensing of the original video content. Make sure you have the rights to the source material before using extracted audio in commercial projects.
The converter does not add custom ID3 tags. If the source video contains embedded metadata, some of it may carry over to the output file. To add or edit ID3 tags (title, artist, album, cover art), use a free tag editor like Mp3tag, MusicBrainz Picard, or any media player with tagging support.
Yes. You can drag a video file directly from your file manager (Explorer, Finder, or Files) and drop it onto the upload area on this page. You can also click the upload area to open a standard file picker. On mobile devices, tapping the upload area lets you select files from your camera roll or file manager.
No. The video-to-audio conversion is performed on our server using FFmpeg, so an internet connection is required to upload your video and download the resulting audio file. This server-side approach means you do not need to install any software and the conversion works regardless of your device’s processing power.
