Why convert MP4 to MP3?

Extracting the audio track from an MP4 is one of the most common conversions on the web: people want the audio from a lecture, podcast interview, concert clip, or YouTube download they can listen to on a phone or car stereo without the video overhead. An MP3 is also dramatically smaller than the original MP4, making it easy to share over email or messaging.

Under the hood this is a real re-encode, not a remux — we read the AAC (or occasionally MP3) audio track inside the MP4 container, decode it to raw PCM, and re-encode it to MP3. There's a small quality cost from the second lossy pass, but at 192 kbps and above it's imperceptible in typical speech and music. Everything happens in your browser using WebCodecs — the MP4 file is never uploaded.
