Frequently Asked Questions
MP3 is the most universally compatible format and is ideal for music and podcasts. WAV is uncompressed and best when you need lossless audio for further editing. AAC offers better quality than MP3 at the same file size and is the default on Apple devices. OGG is a free open format with excellent quality, well-suited for web and gaming audio.
Yes. Check the "Extract specific time range" box and enter a start and end time. You can enter time as seconds (e.g. 90), MM:SS (e.g. 1:30), or HH:MM:SS (e.g. 0:01:30). FFmpeg will seek to the start point before decoding, so the operation is fast even for large files.
If you choose a lossless output like WAV, there is no quality loss at all. For lossy formats (MP3, AAC, OGG), selecting a high bitrate (320 kbps for MP3, 256 kbps for AAC, q8 for OGG) keeps quality very close to the original. Avoid re-encoding lossy sources at very low bitrates.
WAV is an uncompressed lossless format — it preserves every detail of the original audio but produces large files (roughly 10 MB per minute at 44.1 kHz stereo). MP3 uses perceptual compression to discard audio data the human ear is least sensitive to, resulting in files 5–10× smaller with minimal audible difference at high bitrates. Use WAV for editing or archiving, and MP3 for sharing or streaming.
No. OurTools runs FFmpeg entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your video data never leaves your device. The only network requests are the one-time download of the FFmpeg WebAssembly engine on first use.
