How to convert WhatsApp voice messages to MP3
- Export the voice note: in the chat, long-press it → Share (Android) or Forward → Share / Save to Files (iPhone).
- Drop the .opus or .ogg file into the box above. MP3 at 128 kbps is preset, ideal for speech.
- Click "Convert" and download the MP3.
Why WhatsApp audio is in OPUS
WhatsApp records voice messages with the Opus codec, which sounds clear at tiny file sizes. Windows Media Player, many car stereos, older Macs and lots of upload forms do not play .opus files, while MP3 works everywhere.
What people do with converted voice notes
- Keep a voice message from a loved one safe on a computer or USB stick.
- Add a voice note to a video or slideshow.
- Transcribe a long voice message into text with Vidverter's audio to text.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert several voice notes at once?
Yes. Free converts 3 files at a time; Pro converts unlimited batches and zips them.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Vidverter runs entirely in your browser and uses your device's own video encoders. Files never leave your computer or phone, so it is safe for private recordings, and there is no upload or download wait.
Does it work with Telegram or Signal voice messages?
Yes. They also use Opus audio (.ogg or .opus), so the same steps apply.
