MP3, M4A or WAV?
MP3 plays everywhere. M4A suits iPhone and Mac and keeps the most quality. Pick uncompressed WAV when the sound will go into another editing program.

Good to know before you extract audio
Why is M4A fast and lossless?
Most MP4 videos from phones and cameras store their sound as AAC. M4A holds AAC too, so the sound is taken out as it is without re-compression: even long videos finish in seconds with no loss.
When it helps
Keep only the voice from a lecture or meeting recording to listen on the go, make an audio file for transcription or subtitles, or reuse the ambient sound of your own footage as background in another video. Use other people’s work only within your rights.
Want to shape the sound?
To make it louder or add fades, use the volume tool or the AGONECO Video Editor, where you can layer several sounds on one timeline and draw volume curves for each part.
FAQ
Will the quality drop?
When the sound is AAC, M4A takes it out as it is. MP3 is encoded at 192 kbps and WAV is uncompressed.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything happens in this browser. The conversion engine (about 30 MB) downloads once.
Long videos?
Only the sound is processed, so even long videos finish quickly. Files of several GB can hit the browser memory limit.
