Convert / Video & audio
Video to audio 
Podalls Convert is a free offline video to MP3 converter for Windows 10 and 11. It saves the sound of a video file as MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV, Opus or OGG, and copies the track untouched when the video already carries that format.

How it works
How to convert a video to MP3 on Windows
Three steps, all on your PC. Nothing is uploaded.
-
Open Tools › Video › Video to audio, or drop videos on the window.
-
Choose the format and, for compressed formats, the bit rate.
-
Find the sound file next to the video.
What you get
Built for the real document.
-
Untouched when it can be
AAC to M4A and MP3 to MP3 are copied straight out, not encoded again.
-
The bit rate you want
From 96 to 320 kbps for MP3, M4A, Opus and OGG.
-
Lossless too
FLAC keeps every detail; WAV is uncompressed, for editing software.
-
Told before, not after
A video with no sound is flagged in the dialog before anything is queued.
Your choices
Every choice, before it starts.

Sound quality
In kbit/s; higher keeps more of the sound. FLAC and WAV have none to choose.
Saved as “clip.mp3” next to the original. The original is not changed.
Under the hood
How it decides.
What it reads, what it saves, and the rules it follows, taken from the app itself.
Reads 26 file types
.mp4.m4v.mkv.webm.mov.avi.wmv.flv.f4v.mpg.mpeg.mpe.m2v.ts.m2ts.mts.3gp.3g2.ogv.asf.vob.divx.mxf.rm.rmvb.dv
Saves as
- clip.mp3
Never over another file, and never over your original.
Copied when it matches
AAC sound saved as M4A, or MP3 sound as MP3, is copied out untouched. Anything else is encoded at your bit rate.
The full length
The sound keeps the whole length of the video.
Lossless when you want it
FLAC and WAV keep every detail the video’s sound has.

Why not an online converter?
Online tools ask for your file first. Podalls Convert never does.
Good to know
Honest limits.
What this tool does not do, said plainly.
- FLAC and WAV have no bit rate to choose.
- A video with no sound has nothing to save.
First time? The install guide shows every screen, including the Windows warning.
Which format should I choose?
MP3 plays on everything. M4A is often copied straight out of MP4 videos, so it is quickest and loses nothing. FLAC keeps everything, at several times the size.
How do I convert MP4 to MP3?
Choose the MP4, pick MP3 and a quality, and save the sound. 192 kbit/s suits most listening; 320 keeps the most.
Can I save the sound of several videos at once?
Yes. Choose or drop several videos; each gets its own sound file in the Queue.
Is Video to audio in Podalls Convert free?
Yes. Podalls Convert is free for personal and commercial use, with no account and no subscription. Every tool in it, including this one, comes in the same free download.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Podalls Convert does the work on your PC and saves the result there. It only goes online to check for and download its own updates.
In the same free download
