Convert 3GP to AAC

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert 3GP to AAC if your computer, phone or other device does not support 3GP format. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats.

The 3GP file contains multimedia data in an audio and video container format developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) consortium for mobile telephony. It is used to transfer audio and video over the Internet, as well as save videos captured on a mobile device. The finished video clips in 3GP have a small size compared to similar videos in other formats, however, this is justified by a rather low quality, for example, often many frames are presented in the form of colored squares. This format is used to play videos, most often on mobile phones. Its peculiarity lies in the size of the files being played - it is much smaller than, for example, avi. The disadvantage of 3GP is quality, but it is ideal for playing on mobile phones. A 3gp file is a small footage created for playback on portable devices (phones, smartphones, tablets, etc.).

Advanced Audio Coding, also known as AAC, is similar to MP3, although slightly more efficient. This means you can have files that take up less space but still have the same audio quality as MP3s. The best evangelist of this format today is Apple's iTunes, which made AAC so popular that it became almost as widely known as MP3. AAC is capable of achieving more flexible and efficient, and therefore better quality audio coding. As a result of the widespread use of the MP3 format, the AAC standard has not yet acquired the popularity comparable to that of MP3. Nevertheless, AAC is the main format in the popular iTunes Store, iPods, iTunes, iPhone, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and DAB + / DRM digital radio. Most audiophiles who value the best possible sound quality tend to avoid MP3, AAC, and other digital audio formats because these formats use compression to create smaller files. The trade-off is that the upper and lower limits of the audio range are lost. Most average listeners don't notice loss, but for sound aficionados it can be a barrier.
