Common mistakes
- Uploading a video file too large for the browser (keep it under 2 GB).
- Closing the tab before processing finishes: the conversion stops.
- Using an exotic input format (prefer MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI).
- Picking a bitrate so low that quality drops noticeably.
Pro tips
- Pick H.264 (MP4) for the widest compatibility.
- For the web, use WebM (VP9/AV1): smaller file at the same quality.
- Keep the original: processing is local but the download is final.
- On mobile, plug in the charger for long videos.

Frequently asked questions
What audio format to choose for best quality?
WAV offers lossless quality but large files. MP3 (320kbps) is an excellent quality/size compromise. AAC is recommended for Apple.
Can I extract audio from a YouTube video?
Our tool only processes local files. First download the YouTube video legally, then use our audio extractor.
Does audio extraction preserve original quality?
Yes, we extract the audio track without re-encoding when possible. For WAV, quality is identical to original.
How long does audio extraction take?
Extraction is very fast: 1 minute of video = about 5 seconds processing. Faster than video conversion.
