About Vid2MP3

Vid2MP3 is an independent project that does two things: it provides a free, browser-based video-to-MP3 / MP4 converter, and it publishes plain-English, lawyer-reviewed reference material about audio and video formats, conversion quality, and what is and isn't legal when you download personal copies of online video.

We built it because most converter tools are noisy, ad-laden, and offer almost no honest information about quality, safety or copyright. We wanted a single place that does the conversion and answers the questions people actually have when they search for one.

What we do

  • The tool. Upload a local video file or paste a public link from supported sources (TikTok, Twitter/X, Vimeo, Facebook, SoundCloud, Dailymotion). Pick MP3 (128–320 kbps) or MP4 (360p–1080p). Download. Files auto-delete after 15 minutes.
  • The reference. In-depth guides on bitrate, codecs, container vs. codec, quality differences between sources, device-specific how-tos, and a lawyer-reviewed legal hub.
  • Honest tool comparisons. Where we recommend other tools, we've actually tested them — see our methodology.

What we don't do

  • We don't require an account, an email address, or a payment method.
  • We don't inject ads into the converter UI itself, or hide the download behind interstitials.
  • We don't store converted files beyond the 15-minute auto-delete window.
  • We don't encourage or facilitate copyright infringement. Our legal hub explains what is and isn't allowed under US copyright law and the terms of common video platforms.

How we're funded

The site is supported by display advertising on editorial pages (guides, comparisons, format references). The converter UI itself stays clean. Some comparison pieces include affiliate links to third-party tools — when they do, the page carries a clear disclosure. See our affiliate disclosure.

Editorial standards

Every editorial page on Vid2MP3 has a named author, a visible "last updated" date, and citations only to primary sources (W3C, the US Copyright Office, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, codec specifications, and platform help centres). Legal pages are reviewed by a US copyright attorney and carry their byline.
