How this Free MP4 to MP3 Converter — Extract Audio Online works

This audio extraction tool converts MP4 video files to MP3 audio format entirely in the browser using FFmpeg.wasm, a WebAssembly port of the industry-standard FFmpeg multimedia framework. Users upload MP4 files through drag-and-drop or file selection, choose output bitrate (128, 192, 256, or 320 kbps) controlling audio quality versus file size, and monitor conversion progress through a real-time progress bar. The converter loads FFmpeg's WebAssembly core, writes the input video to virtual filesystem, executes audio extraction with configurable encoding parameters, then reads the output MP3 for preview and download. Built-in audio playback enables quality verification before saving, while file size comparison shows original video versus extracted audio sizes. Applications include extracting music from video recordings, saving podcast audio from video platforms, creating audio tracks from lecture recordings, or isolating soundtracks from home videos for portable listening.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does MP4 to MP3 conversion work?
The tool uses FFmpeg WebAssembly to extract the audio stream from your MP4 video and re-encode it as an MP3 file. Everything runs locally in your browser — no data is uploaded to any server.
What bitrate should I choose?
128 kbps is suitable for speech and podcasts. 192 kbps is a good balance of quality and size for music. 256-320 kbps provides near-CD quality for audiophiles.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard limit, but processing happens in your browser memory. Files over 500MB may be slow depending on your device. For best results, keep files under 200MB.
Why do I see a SharedArrayBuffer error?
FFmpeg WebAssembly requires cross-origin isolation headers. This is a browser security feature. Try using Chrome or Edge with the latest updates, or ensure the site is served with proper COOP/COEP headers.
Is my video data safe?
Yes. The entire conversion happens in your browser using WebAssembly. Your video file is never uploaded to any server. Only you have access to your files.
