Common use cases

Extracting a song from a music video

Drop the MP4, extract at 320kbps for maximum fidelity. Processing is local so your download stays on your device throughout.

Saving a lecture recording as audio

Convert a 2-hour lecture MP4 to MP3 at 128kbps (voice quality) to listen while commuting. Use the trim handles to skip setup and Q&A sections.

Extracting audio from a Zoom or Teams recording

Meeting recordings save as MP4. Convert to MP3 for easier storage or transcription. Because nothing uploads, confidential recordings never pass through a third-party server.

Privacy for sensitive video

Video files can contain faces, voices, and location data. Server-based converters retain files temporarily. sound-goods never transmits your video — the browser decodes it in memory and discards the video frames locally.
