About the MP4 and MP3 formats

MP4

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most widely supported video container on the planet. It packs H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio into a single file that plays natively on iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS, web browsers, smart TVs, and every modern editor. Use MP4 when you need a finished, shareable video that will just work, anywhere, without re-encoding.

MP3

MP3 is the most compatible audio format ever made. It plays on every device built in the last 25 years, from a $5 Bluetooth speaker to a Tesla, and 320 kbps MP3 is sonically indistinguishable from CD for most listeners. Pick MP3 when you want a file that will simply play, everywhere, without anyone asking what a codec is.

MP4 to MP3 — Frequently asked questions

We extract at 320 kbps constant bitrate by default — the highest quality MP3 supports. If the source MP4 has a lower audio bitrate we keep the original quality rather than artificially upsampling.
