How to convert 3GP to WMA
- Add your .3GP file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .WMA in a few seconds.
- Download your new .WMA file.
What to expect
- This extracts audio only; the 3GP's video track is dropped completely.
- The audio is re-encoded from AMR/AAC into the lossy WMA codec, so fidelity is capped by the source and may soften slightly.
- WMA is a Microsoft format best supported on Windows; other platforms generally need VLC.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to the video when I convert 3GP to WMA?
WMA is an audio-only format, so only the sound track from the 3GP is kept and the video is discarded entirely. The AMR or AAC audio is re-encoded into Microsoft's WMA codec.
Why convert a 3GP video to WMA?
People do this to pull just the audio out of a mobile clip into a Windows-native audio format, for example to keep a voice recording or soundtrack without the picture.
Where does the WMA file play?
WMA plays in the built-in Windows Media Player with no setup on Windows, and on macOS, Android or iOS it opens in VLC.
Is audio quality lost?
Yes to a degree - the original lossy AMR/AAC audio is re-encoded into another lossy codec, so quality cannot improve and each re-encode can shed some fidelity.
