Will the MP3 sound as good as the 3GP's audio?

Effectively, yes. The audio track inside a 3GP file is already compressed (typically AAC or AMR), and this conversion re-encodes it as MP3. A single re-encode at the High or Standard setting is rarely audible — just avoid chaining multiple lossy conversions, since each step discards a little more detail.

What bitrate will the MP3 have?

You pick one of three levels: High encodes at 320 kbps, Standard at 192 kbps, and Small at 128 kbps. Standard is a solid default for music, High is effectively transparent, and Small keeps voice recordings and podcasts compact.

Does this convert the video stream too?

No — this tool extracts the audio track only. Converting the video itself into another video format (like MOV to MP4) is a much heavier job that FileMorf handles server-side through the main converter for signed-in users.

How large a video can I convert?

Browser capacity depends on the device, media shape, and output format because the engine holds working data in memory. FileMorf applies a conservative safety limit; larger jobs are better suited to server-side processing for signed-in users.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The entire 3GP to MP3 conversion runs locally in your browser. The only thing fetched is the conversion engine itself — a one-time ~31MB download that your browser caches. Your files never leave your device, and there is nothing for anyone else to store.

Questions about 3GP and MP3.

Check the format behavior, limitations, and follow-up options before processing a real file.

3GP was the video format of pre-smartphone mobiles — flip-phone clips, early voice and video recordings, MMS attachments. Modern software has largely forgotten it exists. Converting to MP3 recovers the audio from those files into a format everything plays, which is usually the point: the video is postage-stamp sized anyway, but a recorded conversation, song, or message is worth saving.
