About MP4
MP4 is a video file. Its sound is usually AAC audio stored in the same file, next to the picture. Phone videos, screen recordings, camera clips, and videos you downloaded or exported from an editor are usually MP4.
Only the sound is kept: the video is left out, so the file gets much smaller. A 10-minute video gives an MP3 of about 14 MB at 192 kbps.
Quality and size
WAV is saved as 16-bit PCM at 48 kHz, in mono or stereo like the original. The result is about 11.5 MB a minute in stereo.
Private by design
Converters that upload your file keep a copy on someone else’s server, at least for a while. Here the conversion happens on your device, with your browser’s own audio decoders and an MP3 encoder that runs in the page. Nothing is uploaded, and it works on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebooks.
