02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • H.264, H.265 (HEVC, the iPhone and Android default) and other common codecs are read
  • The soundtrack as a 192 kbps MP3, which plays everywhere. Surround sound is mixed down to stereo
  • Title, artist and similar tags are copied when the video has them

Good to know

  • The picture is dropped: you get audio only.
  • A video with no audio track is refused with a message that says so.
  • Files up to 150 MB are accepted. Long or very high-resolution videos can take several minutes, and a conversion that runs past about 4 minutes is stopped with a message.

MP4 vs MP3

MP4

An MP4 file is the most universally supported video container — plays on every device, browser, and platform. The default choice when you're not sure what format to use.

MP3

An MP3 file is the most common compressed audio format — small file size, works everywhere, though it loses some audio quality in the process. It's what you'll get from most music downloads, podcasts, and voice recordings.
