Converting multimedia files is a task that must be done with a certain frequency for some specific situations. Above all, it can be done with the aim of being able to reproduce it anywhere or extract the audio in an .mp3 format. All of this can be easily achieved through an application and even a web page. We tell you all the details of how to convert a video to mp3 format on your device easily.
MP3 and other formats that can be converted
In the day-to-day management of video files, you can find an endless number of different formats that in many cases may not be reproduced correctly by some services. That is why you must choose to convert them to a much more universal format. In another order of matters, it may also be the case of wanting to extract the audio from a traditional video. This is something that can be achieved by converting any video into an .mp3 format file.
There are many options that can be found to perform this process on an iPad or an iPhone. You can opt for applications from the App Store or also for web pages from which you can access at any time from Safari. Here we tell you all the details to be able to do it in both methods step by step.
Application to do it comfortably on iPad and iPhone
One of the most comfortable ways to do the conversion is undoubtedly through an application. In the App Store you can find a large number of apps that have the purpose of converting video files into an MP3 format. In this way it is possible to isolate all the audio of this in a totally independent file. One of the easiest to use applications found in the App Store is ‘AudioConvert’. When you open it, a blank list will appear with all those videos that you have imported into the application.
If you do not have any, in the upper right corner you have the icon “+” on which you must click. Here you have the options of importing the video both from the iPhone or iPad photo library as well as from iCloud Drive or from the device’s internal storage by being able to manage the ‘Files’ application from here. When choosing the video, it will appear on the main screen of the application with the name that has been given as well as the weight it has.
In order to access all the conversion options, an ‘i’ will appear next to the file inside a circle. Clicking on this will open a drop-down menu at the bottom to be able to choose the option you want to apply. These include: Extract Audio (Easy), Extract Audio, Convert Video, and Compress Video. In order to convert to an MP3 file, you just have to choose ‘Extract audio’.
Among the options that appear in you can choose the format, which by default is MP3, as well as the time interval. Here you can easily choose which time frame you want to have in the file resulting in the audio extraction to be carried out. This also adds the volume that can be adjusted to your liking depending on the original video as well as the audio channels choosing if you want a stereo or mono sound. And for a more advanced level you can also edit the sample rate and bit rate. Once all these parameters have been edited, you can click on ‘start conversion’ to obtain the result.
Once this is done, the resulting file will be found in the ‘processed’ tab. Next to it you will find another ‘i’ enclosed in a circle to click on. Then go to the ‘More’ section and here you can simply choose ‘Open it …’. In this way you can export it to the files on your device or easily share it through a messaging application or others. And most importantly, this is a totally free application, although it has an interface that is not too good, but it certainly fulfills its function in spades.
Website to convert anywhere
Although the fact of using applications is always much more comfortable when talking about making a conversion on iPhone or iPad, sometimes they may not convince. That is why you can resort to other options that are on the internet and that are equally valid tools. One of the most common is undoubtedly the audio.online-convert website, which includes many different options to customize the conversion to be carried out. When accessing this website you will find a green box at the top where you will be asked to upload the video in question to be converted.
This section includes many ways to upload a specific file. The main ones are through the upload of Dropbox, Google Drive and even through the URL of an external site. But if you have the video on your own iPhone and even on iCloud, you just have to click on ‘Select files’ to access the photo library and even by clicking on ‘Explore’ you can enter the internal storage of the iPhone or iPad. It is important to choose a video as such and not an image, otherwise it will not appear correctly on the web page. Once integrated, the specific file will appear at the bottom of the green box with the file’s weight in question.
Once it has been uploaded, a series of interesting criteria can be applied to have the most personalized result possible. Specifically, in the lower part of the space dedicated to uploading the multimedia file, it is possible to modify the audio bit rate, modify the sampling rate and even modify the audio channels to choose between mono and stereo. And to go much further, you can trim the specific audio to have a fragment of all the video in your possession converted to an MP3 format in audio only. To this is also added the possibility of normalizing the audio or eliminating the cover image. In this way, you get the result that best suits your personal tastes.
Once all these parameters have been entered, you can click on ‘Start conversion’. The process will take a few minutes always depending on the weight of the original file. In the event that you are working with Safari on your iPhone or iPad, the result will be stored in the device’s downloads folder. In this way, it can be easily exported to any other application or saved in the cloud service that best suits you.
This is a fairly comprehensive web tool that supports up to 50 different original file formats. This includes OGG, AMR, WMV, WMA, WAV, FLV, MOX, or RAM . They are also constantly expanding to make it compatible with many other formats, although the main ones are covered in this way. And all this for free, which is undoubtedly the most interesting.
