🔒 Privacy

Reading, trimming and converting all happen inside your browser, on your own device. Audio and video files are never uploaded to a server, so you can convert recorded meetings or private calls without them leaving your device. Files are not stored in the URL or in localStorage and are gone when you close the page.

❓ FAQ

Is my audio uploaded?

No. Decoding is done by the browser's Web Audio API and compression by the browser's WebCodecs (your operating system's audio encoders), so the file never leaves your device. Once the page has loaded, it works offline too.

Why can't I convert to MP3?

Browsers have no built-in MP3 encoder, and every MP3 encoder that can be shipped to a web page is based on LAME, which is licensed under the LGPL. This site only uses components with clear, permissive licensing, so MP3 export is not included. You can still convert MP3 files into other formats. If you need a format that plays everywhere, choose M4A (AAC) — at the same bitrate it sounds as good as MP3 or better.

Why is M4A (AAC) unavailable?

AAC export uses the audio encoder built into your operating system, so some browser and OS combinations lack it (for example Chrome on Linux, and Firefox). It is available in Chrome / Edge on Windows, macOS and Android, and in Safari on macOS and iPhone. WAV export works in every browser.

Which format and quality should I pick?

For listening on a phone or in the car, M4A (AAC) at 128–192 kbps; for voice-only recordings, M4A at 64–96 kbps is plenty. For video or music editing software, choose WAV (16-bit). WebM (Opus) gives the smallest files.

Can I convert long recordings?

The decoded audio is held in memory, so it depends on your device. Computers handle one to two hours without trouble, but phones may fail on long recordings. If that happens, trim the audio and convert it in parts.

Can I extract just the audio from a video?

Yes. Drop in an MP4, MOV or WebM video and only the audio track is read. The video is not loaded and is not included in the output. Videos your browser cannot play (some MKV or AVI files) may not load.

Output format

WAV is uncompressed: quality is untouched but files are large (about 10 MB per minute at CD quality). Best for loading into editing software.

Trim

Enter times like "1:30", "90" or "1:02.5" (minutes:seconds.fraction). Leave empty for the very start or end. Play the audio above, pause, then press Playhead to fill in that time.
