MP3 to video converter

Turn an MP3 into an MP4 with a still image or a plain frame. WAV, M4A, and other audio work too — free, no sign-in.

What is an MP3 to video converter?

An MP3 to video converter wraps an audio file in an MP4 so a video player can open it. This page does that audio to video job in the browser: the sound stays as it is, and the picture is a still image you add or a plain dark frame.

What you can convert

One audio file in, one MP4 out.
  1. MP3 to video: MP3 is the usual input. WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, and FLAC convert the same way.

  2. Still image: Add a JPG, PNG, or WebP cover. It is letterboxed to 1280×720.

  3. Plain frame: Skip the image and the video uses a dark frame for the whole track.

  4. Local conversion: FFmpeg runs in this browser. The audio is not uploaded.

How to turn audio into a video

Three steps from a track to an MP4.
  1. Upload the audio

    Drop an MP3 or another supported audio file.

  2. Add a picture if you want one

    A cover image becomes the video frame. Leave it empty for a plain frame.

  3. Convert and download

    Download the MP4 when the bar finishes.

Tips

Keep the file small and the picture simple.
  • 01

    One frame per second

    The picture does not move, so the encoder writes one frame a second instead of a full motion video.

  • 02

    Cover size

    A wide image fills the frame. A tall image sits in the center with dark bars on the sides.

  • 03

    Long tracks

    A long file still has to encode the whole duration. Shorter clips finish sooner.

When this helps

Jobs that need a video file, not a new recording.
  1. Upload forms that want video: Some sites accept MP4 and reject a bare MP3. This wraps the track so the form can take it.

  2. A cover on the track: Pair the audio with one still image instead of a blank player.

  3. A shareable MP4: Send one video file that plays the original audio.
