Free Online 3GP to MP3 Converter

3GP files are a legacy video format originally designed for use with early mobile and internet devices. The format is capable of storing video and audio data in a highly compressed format. This naturally led to a decrease in quality but was heavily driven by the need to minimize file size, thus reducing the bandwidth usage of the early devices.

The video audio and video compression were highly effective and allowed video clips created on these devices to be shared without consuming large amounts of bandwidth. The low-resolution camera and displays of these early mobile devices also helped keep file sizes to a minimum.

The 3GP format is still fairly common today; however, it is in decline and has mostly been replaced by other video formats, such as MP4. We have a selection of M4A converter tools for converting these files into other formats if native video editing applications lack such features.

MP3 files are a well-known file format for the storage and playback of music and digital audio. The MP3 format has been around for a long time and has become a standard format for music. Despite newer formats arriving, such as AAC, MP3 still remains the primary choice for digital music playback.

It's highly efficient compression methods allow what would otherwise be very large audio data to be compressed down to a fraction of its size with little noticeable difference in quality. The quality, or bit rate, can be specified from 96KB/s (low quality) to 320KB/s (high quality). Naturally, the higher the bit rate, the larger the final MP3 file.

MP3 files are synonymous with digital music and are therefore supported by all major audio and music editing and playback software. Major operating systems and platforms often have built-in support for the playback of MP3 files.
