What an MP3 is
MP3 is a compressed audio format. The file keeps the sound and leaves out the picture, so it is smaller than the video and can be played on a phone, in a car, or on a music player.

What does converting a video to MP3 mean?
Video and audio are different
A video combines picture and sound. Converting to MP3 keeps only the audio track, in a file that almost any player can open.
What bitrate means
Bitrate says how much audio data is stored per second, measured in kbps. A higher value usually keeps more detail and takes more space.
Why the size changes
The size depends on the bitrate and the length. About four minutes of audio is around 4 MB at 128 kbps and closer to 10 MB at 320 kbps. Those figures are a guide, not the exact size of your file.
Which MP3 quality should you choose?
The sizes in the table are approximate for four minutes of audio. Those options are on File to MP3: 128, 192, 256, and 320 kbps. The YouTube link does not choose the bitrate.
Swipe the table to see every column.
| Quality | Approximate size | Suggested use |
|---|---|---|
| 128 kbps | About 4 MB | Background listening, or saving space on a phone. |
| 192 kbps | About 6 MB | A reasonable middle ground for everyday music. |
| 256 kbps | About 8 MB | More detail if you will listen with headphones. |
| 320 kbps | About 10 MB | The highest option on this list. |
Converting a low-quality source to 320 kbps does not restore detail that was not in the original. The file is larger, but it does not sound better than the source.
