Get just the audio from any X video
Sometimes the sound is the point: a song someone performed, a clip of a speech, an interview you want to listen to on a run, a sound you want to use in your own edit. Downloading the whole video and stripping the audio yourself takes an editor and a few minutes. This Twitter to MP3 converter does it in one step.
Paste the link to the post and press Download. Alongside the video files you'll see an MP3 button. It takes the audio track from X's original upload, converts it to a 192 kbps MP3, and sends it to your device. MP3 plays everywhere: phones, cars, smart speakers, every audio app and every editor.
Why MP3 at 192 kbps?
X stores the soundtrack of each video as AAC audio at roughly 128 kbps. Converting between lossy formats always costs a little quality, so we encode at a higher bitrate than the source to make that loss inaudible. Going higher (320 kbps) would only make the file bigger without making it sound any better, because the detail was never in the source.
A rough guide to file sizes:
| Video length | MP3 size at 192 kbps |
|---|---|
| 30 seconds | ~0.7 MB |
| 2 minutes 20 seconds | ~3.4 MB |
| 10 minutes | ~14 MB |
| 30 minutes | ~42 MB |
