A 3GP file is a multimedia container format designed for mobile devices, commonly used for saving and transmitting audio and video data. It was developed by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as a standardized format to allow efficient streaming and playback of media on 3G-enabled mobile phones. 3GP files use the .3gp file extension and can store audio streams in various codecs, such as AMR-NB and AAC, as well as video streams in codecs like H.263 and H.264. The format's compression capabilities make it ideal for minimizing file sizes while maintaining acceptable audio and video quality, catering to the limited storage and bandwidth resources of mobile devices.

Due to its widespread support and compatibility with mobile devices, 3GP became the standard format for recording and sharing videos on early smartphones. Users could record short video clips using their phones' cameras and easily share them with friends and family. As technology progressed, the format's limitations became apparent, such as its inability to handle high-definition content and advanced audio codecs. Consequently, more modern mobile devices and platforms started adopting alternative formats like MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14), which offered better compression and superior video quality while still being compatible with most mobile devices.

Despite its declining popularity, 3GP remains relevant for specific use cases and older devices that may not support more modern formats. Some multimedia players and video editing software still support 3GP files, allowing users to work with legacy content. However, for most users, especially those with newer smartphones and media devices, other formats like MP4 or MKV are now the preferred choices for video and audio files due to their higher quality and greater versatility.
