Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our browser audio conversion architecture.

How does BrowserConvert process files without uploading them?

BrowserConvert runs WebAssembly (Wasm) compiled FFmpeg directly inside your web browser. When you select a file, your browser's CPU processes and re-encodes the audio data in memory. No file data is ever transmitted across the internet to our servers.

Which video formats can I extract audio from?

You can upload common video containers including MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, and TS. The engine extracts the underlying audio stream and encodes it into your chosen output format such as MP3 or WAV.

What audio bitrate should I choose?

For general listening, 192 kbps is the recommended sweet spot between file size and audio fidelity. For spoken word and voice memos, 96-128 kbps is sufficient. For high-fidelity music playback on quality speakers, select 256 or 320 kbps.

Will converting MP3 to WAV restore lost audio quality?

No. MP3 is a lossy format, meaning data was permanently discarded during its initial encoding. Converting MP3 to WAV creates an uncompressed PCM stream suitable for editing software, but cannot restore the frequencies lost during the original MP3 compression.

Is there a file size limit?

Because processing happens in your browser's memory, we recommend files under 1 GB for smooth performance. Very large video files may be constrained by your device's available RAM.

Can I use BrowserConvert on my smartphone?

Yes. BrowserConvert is fully responsive and functions on modern mobile browsers including Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android with WebAssembly support.
