Frequently Asked Questions
General
- What is MediaConvertKit?
- MediaConvertKit is a free, browser-based file conversion platform. It provides tools to convert video to MP3, convert images, manipulate PDFs, and process audio — all running entirely in your web browser without uploading any files to a server.
- Is MediaConvertKit free to use?
- Yes, all tools on MediaConvertKit are completely free. No subscription, no credits, no payment, no registration required.
- Do I need to create an account?
- No. MediaConvertKit requires no account or registration. Just use any tool directly from the website.
Privacy & Security
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No. Your files never leave your device. All conversion processing uses WebAssembly and JavaScript running in your browser tab. We have no technical ability to receive or store your files.
- Can MediaConvertKit access my files?
- No. Because your files are never transmitted to our servers, we cannot access them. The File API only gives the browser tab access to your file — not our servers.
- What data does MediaConvertKit collect?
- We do not collect file data, file names, or conversion results. We may collect standard web analytics (page views, browser type) but this never includes file content.
Video to MP3
- What video formats does the Video to MP3 converter support?
- Supported formats include MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM, FLV, WMV, 3GP, M4V, and MPEG.
- What MP3 quality options are available?
- 128 kbps (good for speech), 192 kbps (recommended for music), 256 kbps (high quality), and 320 kbps (maximum quality).
- How long does video to MP3 conversion take?
- A typical 3-minute MP4 converts in about 5–20 seconds depending on your device speed and video resolution. The first conversion after visiting the page takes longer because FFmpeg.wasm needs to load.
Browser & Compatibility
- Which browsers are supported?
- Chrome 90+, Firefox 89+, Edge 90+, and Safari 15+ are all supported. Chrome generally offers the best performance for WebAssembly-based conversions.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes, MediaConvertKit works on iPhone (Safari) and Android (Chrome). For files larger than 200 MB, a desktop browser is recommended due to mobile RAM limitations.
- Why does the first conversion take longer?
- FFmpeg.wasm (the conversion engine) must be downloaded from the CDN the first time you use a video or audio tool. This is approximately 8–12 MB and is cached by your browser for subsequent uses.
