The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. Lifts the soundtrack out of the video and saves it as OPUS. The picture is discarded; nothing is re-recorded.
Should you convert 3GP to OPUS?
Worth doing when you want the soundtrack of a 3GP on its own: a podcast, an interview, a piece of music from a video. Choose a higher bitrate than you think you need, because the OPUS is encoded from the video's audio rather than from a master.
Taking the sound out of 3GP
A 3GP file holds a picture track and a sound track side by side. This keeps the sound and discards the picture, so what you get is the OPUS on its own at whatever bitrate you choose. Nothing about the 3GP original is altered.

What usually goes wrong
About the 3GP. Converting a 3GP does not improve it. The detail was never recorded, and upscaling only makes the file bigger.
About the OPUS. Opus at 64 kbps sounds better than MP3 at 128, so the bitrate you are used to is roughly double what you need here.
How to convert 3GP to OPUS
- Add your 3GP file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to OPUS.
- Press convert and the OPUS file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert 3GP to OPUS?
Open this page, add your 3GP file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this 3GP to OPUS converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Does extracting audio reduce the quality?
The soundtrack is re-encoded to OPUS, so there is one generation of loss at the bitrate you choose. Pick a higher bitrate, or a lossless target like WAV or FLAC, to avoid it.
Can I convert several 3GP files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
