MP4 (.mp4) · Max 20 MB
Edit your podcast in WAV to avoid generation loss. Export to a lossy format only as the final step before uploading to your host.
For spoken word, 128kbps mono is plenty. Music-heavy podcasts benefit from 192kbps stereo. AudioUtils lets you choose the right balance of size and quality.
Record in the highest quality your setup allows. Convert to your distribution format once, at the end. Every extra conversion degrades lossy audio slightly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why extract to WAV instead of MP3 from MP4?
WAV is uncompressed, so there's no additional quality loss during conversion. Choose WAV when you plan to edit the audio. Choose MP3 when you just need a small file for listening.
How much larger is WAV than the audio in my MP4?
Roughly 5-10x larger. The audio track in an MP4 is typically compressed with AAC. Extracting to WAV gives you an uncompressed version that's much bigger but ready for editing.
Can I extract just a portion of the audio?
This tool extracts the full audio track. To trim it, convert first, then use any audio editor to cut the WAV to the section you need.
