How to convert mp4 to mp3 free in Windows 11?

About converting MP4 to MP3 on Windows computer. A lot of online tools, including Online-Convert, have file size restrictions. If your MP4 is too large, you might have to compress it first or look for another tool. This can be frustrating—especially if you're dealing with video files that are often large to begin with. You may have limited options to adjust output quality or settings. I’ve had times where I ended up with a lower-quality MP3 just because the default settings weren’t what I wanted—especially if the online converter doesn't let you tweak stuff before hitting “convert.”

You need a good internet connection to make this work. If your connection is spotty, the upload might fail, leaving you in a lurch. I had this happen when I was out and about trying to convert on public Wi-Fi—super frustrating!

When you upload your audio, it’s hitting the cloud, so if you have anything sensitive—like a private recording or important meeting—that's a risk. I’ve always felt a bit uneasy about uploading personal stuff online, so if privacy matters to you, consider sticking with offline tools. Depending on your internet connection and the size of the MP4 file, uploading and then downloading that MP3 can take a while. I once tried to convert a longer video, and it felt like I was waiting forever. If you’re in a rush, that can be pretty annoying.
