MP3 vs WAV vs AAC

MP3

Variable bitrate MP3 using the LAME encoder. The quality slider maps directly to VBR quality — higher quality means larger files but better audio fidelity. Use MP3 for music, podcasts, and general sharing.

WAV

Uncompressed 16-bit PCM audio. Lossless, largest file size, and the best choice if you plan to import the audio into a DAW (Audacity, GarageBand, Pro Tools) for further editing.

AAC

Advanced Audio Coding at 192 kbps. Produces smaller files than WAV with transparent quality at this bitrate. Natively supported by Apple devices and most modern media players.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Clipiv extracts audio entirely in your browser. Your video file never leaves your device — audio extraction happens locally with no server involved.

Which audio format should I choose?

MP3 works for almost everything — music players, podcasts, sharing. WAV gives you uncompressed audio, ideal if you plan to edit the audio further in a DAW. AAC offers slightly better quality than MP3 at the same file size and is the native format for Apple devices.

What video formats can I extract audio from?

MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and MKV files are supported. As long as the video has an audio track, Clipiv can extract it to MP3, WAV, or AAC. If you just want a silent video without saving the audio, use Remove Audio instead.
