How do I extract an MP3 from a video without uploading it to a server?

Open fqmp3 at https://yarimati.com/fqmp3/, drop your video, trim the section you want, pick a bitrate, and click Extract. Everything runs in your browser via FFmpeg.wasm — the file never uploads. The output is a real .mp3 you can save and share.

What bitrate should I pick?

128 kbps is the smallest acceptable for speech / podcasts. 192 kbps is a transparent default for most music — you usually can't tell it apart from the source. 320 kbps is libmp3lame's CBR maximum and is the right choice when you'll re-encode the file again later or you're archiving.

What input formats does fqmp3 support?

Anything FFmpeg can decode — MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI on the video side, and MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, FLAC, OGG on the audio side. Drop the file; fqmp3 handles the demux/decode automatically.

Is the file really staying private?

Yes. fqmp3 is a static site — no backend, no analytics on the file, no server-side processing. The only network requests are the page itself and the FFmpeg WASM binary (cached after first use). Your file and the resulting MP3 stay on your machine.

fqmp3 — extract audio from any video and trim, in your browser

fqmp3 is a free in-browser audio extractor and trimmer. Drop any video (MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM) or audio file (MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC), trim the section you want with a waveform timeline, pick a bitrate, and download a real .mp3. Encoding uses libmp3lame via FFmpeg.wasm — entirely client-side, your file never leaves your machine.
