How do I convert MPEG to MP3?

Upload your MPEG file to our converter, choose MP3 as the output format, and optionally adjust the audio bitrate (e.g., 128, 192, or 320 kbps). Click 'Convert' to extract the audio track from the MPEG container and re-encode it as MP3. Download the resulting file and play it on any device.

Why convert MPEG to MP3 instead of keeping the MPEG file?

MPEG files combine video and audio, making them heavy and complex to handle. MP3 isolates the audio track, reduces file size by up to 90%, and is supported by almost every device, from budget phones to car stereos. It's ideal for music, podcasts, or voice memos where video is unnecessary.

What happens to the audio quality when converting MPEG to MP3?

The conversion decodes the original audio stream (which may be MP2, AC-3, PCM, or similar) and re-encodes it using MP3's lossy compression. This means data is discarded, but at a sufficiently high bitrate (320 kbps), the result is perceptually transparent—indistinguishable from the source in blind listening tests. Lower bitrates save space but reduce fidelity. Video tracks are dropped, and any embedded metadata can be preserved if the MP3 tag supports it.

Is MPEG-TO-MP3 free to use?

Yes, MPEG-TO-MP3 on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.
