Part 1 How to Convert FLAC to MP3 (Fast & Brilliant Way)

As promised, we’ll be starting this off with a general tutorial that you can refer to when using the converters that we’ve listed below! The tool that we will be using for this step-by-step breakdown is an online FLAC Converter called FreeConvert. We did not include it on our list just to make sure that you have the most options possible, but it definitely deserves a spot of its own, since it is a free FLAC converter as well.

01Step 1: Open FLAC Converter!

To start things off, you need to either launch (if it’s software) or open (a.i., open the website for an online converter) your chosen FLAC Converter.

Once you’ve got your FLAC Converter all revved up. The first true step is the ‘UPLOAD’ step. This is when you use the upload features provided to prepare the FLAC audio that you want to convert.

For the tool we use for our example, you can do it in one of two ways:

Upload Manually: Either from your device, from Dropbox, from Google Drive, or through a URL link.

Drag-and-Drop: Simply drag and then drop the FLAC audio for conversion.

Here’s a link to FreeConvert in case you wanted to try it out for yourself:

Upload FLAC Audio File

02Step 2: Confirm Output Format!

For our example, we’ll be converting from FLAC to MP3. And so, when prompted to choose the desired output format, we choose “MP3”!

(Most converters will have multiple audio file formats and video file formats that you can convert to if you want to do something completely different — as is shown below):

Confirm MP3 as Output Format

03Step 3: (Optional) Advanced Settings

Before finishing up, you might want to explore the extra advanced settings offered by your chosen FLAC Converter! Each one will have different features.

FreeConvert, as an example, will allow you to adjust volume, add fade-in, add fade-out, reverse audio, and, even, trim audio before conversion! All you have to do to access these functions is to click the “SETTINGS” icon (pointed out in the image).

Advance Settings Icon

04Step 4: Convert FLAC to MP3

To initiate the actual conversion with FreeConvert, all you really need to do is click the ‘Convert to MP3’ button. Other FLAC converters, while not the same, should be similar.

Select Convert to MP3 Button

05Step 5: Download Converted FLAC Audio!

Finally, when the conversion has been completed, select the ‘Download MP3’ button to save your converted audio to your PC! That’s it, you’re done!

VirtualDub is a free video capture/processing tool for Windows platforms (2000/XP/Vista/7). And VirtualDub MPEG-2 is a modified version of VirtualDub that supports MPEG-2 import originally. However, just as the author said “This software is obsolete and will no longer be updated. For MPEG-2 and WMV support in the latest VirtualDub, try my plugins (MPEG-2 plugin for VirtualDub 1.8.1 or above - by editor)”.

Download and Install VirtualDub MPEG-2

You could download VirtualDub MPEG-2 here and extract files to a folder. Now you get a video processing software with MPEG-2 video import supported. To run VirtualDub MPEG-2, double click the VirtualDub.exe.

How to Use VirtualDub MPEG-2 to Compress Large MPEG-2 Videos

Step 1: Set Up Video Compression

Open your MPEG-2 video file through File/Open video file…, then go to Video/Compression to bring up the following dialog.

virtualdub mpeg2

As shown above, select the XVID MPEG-4 codec and click Configure button to make Xvid settings.

Note: If Compression is disable, switch to Full processing mode first in the Video menu.

Step 2: Set Up Audio Compression

Unlock the Power of Stop Motion on Instagram: Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices

How to Make a Stop Motion Video on Instagram

author avatar

Liza Brown

Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions

Instagram’s announcement that the stop motion feature will become available in the Stories section created quite a buzz on the Internet, a while ago. In 2020, the feature remains relatively unknown to social media users, even though on paper it seemed promising.

Stop motion videos, are simply sequentially taken photos that create an illusion of movement once they are played one after the other. These types of videos are growing more popular on social media, as they can make Instagram stories or any other social media feed more interesting. You are at the right place if you would like to join video content creators who already produce stop motion videos because in this article we are going to show you how to make a stop motion video on Instagram.

Part 1: How to Make a Stop Motion Video on Instagram?

The technical side of making a stop motion video on Instagram is rather simple since you can enable this feature in just a few taps. After you launch the app, you should tap on the Camera icon in the upper left corner of the screen. The new window will open where you can choose the type of Instagram story you want to create, so you can pick to go live , record a video normally or use the app’s Boomerang feature.

You will find the Stop Motion option at the end of this menu, and after you tap on it you just have to press the white button in the middle of the toolbar that is located near the bottom of the screen in order to start taking pictures.

Currently, Instagram limits the number of photos you can take with the stop motion feature to ten. Tap on the Done button that is located at the top of the screen once you completed the process of making a stop motion video and then proceed to choose stickers you would like to include in the story you created. Press the Send To button and decide if you want to share the stop motion video to your Instagram or Facebook story or with some of your Instagram followers. ;

Cons of Making Stop Motion Videos with Instagram

Even though Instagram’s new stop motion feature offers an easy way to make your stories more interesting, it still has a few downsides. Adding sound or music to stop motion videos you create with Instagram isn’t possible at the moment, and you can’t do much more other than downloading the video to your device.

Like all other Instagram stories, stop motion videos created with this app are only available for 24 hours if you don’t save them on your phone. Moreover, downloading the stories you create with Instagram ’s stop motion tool will enable you to edit them with video editing apps for iPhone and Android devices and post them to any social media platform you choose.

In addition, the maximum number of frames a stop motion video created with Instagram can have is limited to just ten.

Frequently Asked Questions: Why Can’t I See the Stop Motion Feature in Instagram Stories?

Instagram’s stop motion feature is still in its beta stage, which means that it isn’t available on all versions of the app. So, if you can’t see this option you must go to Google Play or Apps Store and install the version of Instagram that has this feature. If the issue persists, you should opt for some other stop motion app you can use free of charge. ;

Part 2: 3 Best Stop Motion Apps you can Use to Create Animated Videos for Instagram

You shouldn’t worry if the stop motion feature isn’t available on the version of Instagram you’re using, because there are so many apps that are equipped with this tool. With so many different options on the market, finding the app that provides you with all features you need to create stop motion videos can be a difficult task. That’s why we shortlisted the three best apps for iPhones and Android devices that enable you to make animated stop motion videos for Instagram.

1. Over

Price: Free, offers in-app purchase

Compatibility: iOS, Android

Over allows you to do much more than just create stop motion videos you can post on Instagram since it is equipped with a versatile set of tools that can help you improve the brand awareness on social media. There are more than 700 templates to choose from and each of them enables you to adjust your photos and videos to the social network’s demands. However, the free version of the app offers only limited capabilities, and you must upgrade to the Pro version if you want to have access to all photo and video editing tools Over have to offer.

2. Mojo

Price: Free, offers in-app purchases

Compatibility: iOS , Android

create stop motion video for IG in Mojo

Creating content for social media with Mojo is a simple process that can be completed in just three easy steps. You don’t even need a Mojo account to start creating stories with this app. All you have to do is select an animated template, import videos or photos and edit it before tapping on the share button. There are more than a hundred animated templates to choose from, so after you pick one, you just have to add text overlays , but you must purchase Mojo Pro if you want to change aspect ratios , duplicate stories or have access to all text styles and templates.

3. Life Lapse

Price: Free, offers in-app purchases

Compatibility: iOS , Android

Life Lapse Stop Motion Maker

The fact that more than a million video content creators and brands are using Life Lapse to make stop motion videos says a lot about the app’s capabilities. Unlike Over and Mojo, Life Lapse lets you set the exposure and focus locks, switch on a grid or use the ghosted image overlay. Besides capturing photos and videos, the app also allows you to import photos you want to include in the stop motion animation. Furthermore, even the free version of Life Lapse offers a variety of video editing tools that allow you to crop images or adjust saturation, brightness or white balance values in each frame.

Part 3: How to Create a Stop Motion Videos with Life Lapse

You don’t have to be a skilled cinematographer to make a stop motion video using the Life Lapse app. Once you’ve installed and launched Life Lapse you should create a new project by tapping on the + icon. As soon as the camera loads you’ll be asked to choose if you would like to create a photo or a video project. Tap on the photo option and start taking photos of the objects or people you want to include in your stop motion video.

The app also grants you access to a broad range of tools that will make composing the shots easier or reduce the flickering effect. Even though Life Lapse doesn’t limit the maximum duration of the stop motion videos you can create with it, an Instagram story cannot be longer than 15 seconds. Furthermore, changing a video’s aspect ratio to 9:16 is recommended, as it will enable you to know exactly how your stop motion video is going to look like after you upload it to Instagram.

Part 4: Tips for Creating Stop Motion Videos for Instagram

The process of making a stop motion animation is not technically complicated since you just need to place your phone on a tripod and take a photo each time you move an object in the shot. Even so, working on a stop motion project requires previous preparations. Here are a few tips that will help you make a better stop motion animation video.

1. Develop a concept

What is your stop motion video about? This is the first and the most important question you will have to answer before you start making a stop motion video. Developing a concept will enable you to know which props you are going to need or how many actors you have to find before you can actually start shooting. Stop motion videos can be virtually about anything, and you should choose a story that will keep the audience interested from start to finish.

2. Shoot in studio conditions

Although it is not impossible to make a stop motion video in outdoor conditions, having control over sudden light changes is. That is why it is much better to shoot stop motion videos in studio-like conditions where you can easily adjust all the parameters in accordance with the demands of the project you’re working on. In addition, it is paramount to keep your phone perfectly steady, which is why it is better to mount it on a tripod than to shoot handheld.

Conclusion

Instagram’s stop motion feature is still under development and it may be some time before you can use it to create professional-looking videos. Apps like Over or Life Lapse are a much better option for all video content creators who would like to impress their audience with stop motion videos. Which app are you using to create stop motion videos? Leave a comment and let us know.

With so many different options on the market, finding the app that provides you with all features you need to create stop motion videos can be a difficult task. That’s why we shortlisted the three best apps for iPhones and Android devices that enable you to make animated stop motion videos for Instagram.

1. Over

Price: Free, offers in-app purchase

Compatibility: iOS, Android

Over allows you to do much more than just create stop motion videos you can post on Instagram since it is equipped with a versatile set of tools that can help you improve the brand awareness on social media. There are more than 700 templates to choose from and each of them enables you to adjust your photos and videos to the social network’s demands. However, the free version of the app offers only limited capabilities, and you must upgrade to the Pro version if you want to have access to all photo and video editing tools Over have to offer.

2. Mojo

Price: Free, offers in-app purchases

Compatibility: iOS , Android

Creating content for social media with Mojo is a simple process that can be completed in just three easy steps. You don’t even need a Mojo account to start creating stories with this app. All you have to do is select an animated template, import videos or photos and edit it before tapping on the share button. There are more than a hundred animated templates to choose from, so after you pick one, you just have to add text overlays , but you must purchase Mojo Pro if you want to change aspect ratios , duplicate stories or have access to all text styles and templates.

3. Life Lapse

Price: Free, offers in-app purchases

Compatibility: iOS , Android

Life Lapse Stop Motion Maker

The fact that more than a million video content creators and brands are using Life Lapse to make stop motion videos says a lot about the app’s capabilities. Unlike Over and Mojo, Life Lapse lets you set the exposure and focus locks, switch on a grid or use the ghosted image overlay. Besides capturing photos and videos, the app also allows you to import photos you want to include in the stop motion animation. Furthermore, even the free version of Life Lapse offers a variety of video editing tools that allow you to crop images or adjust saturation, brightness or white balance values in each frame.

Part 3: How to Create a Stop Motion Videos with Life Lapse

You don’t have to be a skilled cinematographer to make a stop motion video using the Life Lapse app. Once you’ve installed and launched Life Lapse you should create a new project by tapping on the + icon. As soon as the camera loads you’ll be asked to choose if you would like to create a photo or a video project. Tap on the photo option and start taking photos of the objects or people you want to include in your stop motion video.

The app also grants you access to a broad range of tools that will make composing the shots easier or reduce the flickering effect. Even though Life Lapse doesn’t limit the maximum duration of the stop motion videos you can create with it, an Instagram story cannot be longer than 15 seconds. Furthermore, changing a video’s aspect ratio to 9:16 is recommended, as it will enable you to know exactly how your stop motion video is going to look like after you upload it to Instagram.

Part 4: Tips for Creating Stop Motion Videos for Instagram

The process of making a stop motion animation is not technically complicated since you just need to place your phone on a tripod and take a photo each time you move an object in the shot. Even so, working on a stop motion project requires previous preparations. Here are a few tips that will help you make a better stop motion animation video.

1. Develop a concept

What is your stop motion video about? This is the first and the most important question you will have to answer before you start making a stop motion video. Developing a concept will enable you to know which props you are going to need or how many actors you have to find before you can actually start shooting. Stop motion videos can be virtually about anything, and you should choose a story that will keep the audience interested from start to finish.

2. Shoot in studio conditions

Although it is not impossible to make a stop motion video in outdoor conditions, having control over sudden light changes is. That is why it is much better to shoot stop motion videos in studio-like conditions where you can easily adjust all the parameters in accordance with the demands of the project you’re working on. In addition, it is paramount to keep your phone perfectly steady, which is why it is better to mount it on a tripod than to shoot handheld.

Conclusion

Instagram’s stop motion feature is still under development and it may be some time before you can use it to create professional-looking videos. Apps like Over or Life Lapse are a much better option for all video content creators who would like to impress their audience with stop motion videos. Which app are you using to create stop motion videos? Leave a comment and let us know.

Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions

Instagram’s announcement that the stop motion feature will become available in the Stories section created quite a buzz on the Internet, a while ago. In 2020, the feature remains relatively unknown to social media users, even though on paper it seemed promising.

Stop motion videos, are simply sequentially taken photos that create an illusion of movement once they are played one after the other. These types of videos are growing more popular on social media, as they can make Instagram stories or any other social media feed more interesting. You are at the right place if you would like to join video content creators who already produce stop motion videos because in this article we are going to show you how to make a stop motion video on Instagram.

Part 1: How to Make a Stop Motion Video on Instagram?

The technical side of making a stop motion video on Instagram is rather simple since you can enable this feature in just a few taps. After you launch the app, you should tap on the Camera icon in the upper left corner of the screen. The new window will open where you can choose the type of Instagram story you want to create, so you can pick to go live , record a video normally or use the app’s Boomerang feature.

You will find the Stop Motion option at the end of this menu, and after you tap on it you just have to press the white button in the middle of the toolbar that is located near the bottom of the screen in order to start taking pictures.

Currently, Instagram limits the number of photos you can take with the stop motion feature to ten. Tap on the Done button that is located at the top of the screen once you completed the process of making a stop motion video and then proceed to choose stickers you would like to include in the story you created. Press the Send To button and decide if you want to share the stop motion video to your Instagram or Facebook story or with some of your Instagram followers. ;

Cons of Making Stop Motion Videos with Instagram

Even though Instagram’s new stop motion feature offers an easy way to make your stories more interesting, it still has a few downsides. Adding sound or music to stop motion videos you create with Instagram isn’t possible at the moment, and you can’t do much more other than downloading the video to your device.

Like all other Instagram stories, stop motion videos created with this app are only available for 24 hours if you don’t save them on your phone. Moreover, downloading the stories you create with Instagram ’s stop motion tool will enable you to edit them with video editing apps for iPhone and Android devices and post them to any social media platform you choose.

In addition, the maximum number of frames a stop motion video created with Instagram can have is limited to just ten.

Frequently Asked Questions: Why Can’t I See the Stop Motion Feature in Instagram Stories?

Instagram’s stop motion feature is still in its beta stage, which means that it isn’t available on all versions of the app. So, if you can’t see this option you must go to Google Play or Apps Store and install the version of Instagram that has this feature. If the issue persists, you should opt for some other stop motion app you can use free of charge. ;

Part 1 6 Best Free MP3 Converter for Windows 10 / 11

As promised, we start this off with the best audio converter (Windows 10/11) tools. We’ve decided to go very simple with this list, providing a brief description of all of the FREE MP3 Converters (Windows), a URL that will lead you to the website where you can get the converter, and an image that should show you how the converter’s interface looks like.

01EaseUs MobiMover

EaseUs MobiMover is an audio converter for Windows 10 and 11 that you can use in order to easily convert videos (in various formats) into MP3 (as is shown in the image below. It’s a FREEmium software though — which means that it’s use is limited until you purchase the paid version of the software.

EaseUs MobiMover - MP3 Converter

02Freemake Video Converter

Freemake Video Converter is the first 100% FREE MP3 converter for Windows 10 on this list! They keep the software updated from donations, so you can choose how much money you can spare for using the service! It’s a very simple software besides (as is shown in the image below). It does feature some video editing tools, but its main function is conversion (which includes video-to-audio conversion!)

Freemake Video Converter

03VSDC

Much like Freemake, our next MP3 converter for Windows 10 and 11, called VSDC, is completely FREE — as they run primarily on donations. That does mean that it’s not the most advanced program though — evident from the rather old-school interface (shown in the image below). But, regardless of the lack of abundance in tools, it should function just fine as an audio-video-converter for Windows 10 (and vice versa.)

VSDC - MP3 Converter

04Convertio.co

With Convertio.co, we break the mold a bit! This is not a software, but it does still work for Windows users — as it requires only that you have a working browser from which you can access the website (URL linked below!) As you can see from the image, it works much like most online MP3 converters — you upload a file from your desktop, wait for it to finish converting, and then download it!

Convertio - MP3 Converter

05Free Convert

Free Convert is another online MP3 convert for Windows 10 users that would prefer not to download or install software. And, just like Covertio, it works by uploading the files you want to convert from your computer, waiting for the converters tool to finish converting it, and then downloading the finished product. It is, of course, FREE — but, similar to the first tool on this list, if you want to unlock some of its features, you’ll have to pay for the premium version.

Free Convert - MP3 Converter

06DVDVideoSoft

With DVDVideoSoft, we’re back to an audio-video converter for Windows 10 that you have to download and install to work! It’s a FREEmium software too. That means that you’ll have to pay in order to unlock certain features. But, it works as a solid converter even without that.

DVDVideoSoft

Part 3 5 MP3 Music Players for Windows 10/11 PC

The last of the lists in this article is a short one for the best MP3 players for Windows 10! This is a straightforward list, much like the first. And, we’ll be focusing on MP3 players for Windows 10 only (although some of these will work for Mac as well!)

01iTunes

Despite appearances, iTunes actually makes for a great MP3 player for Windows 10 users. After all, it’s interface is clean and it is regularly updated. So, you never have to deal with bugs! (And just in case you weren’t aware, you can add your own original audio to your iTunes library! So, it isn’t like you have to purchase media from the iTunes store just to listen to it.)

iTunes

02Groove Music

Groove Music is a local Mp3 player for Windows 10 that you can download from the Microsoft App Store. It functions much like iTunes — in that you can add original music or audio to the app library (as well as purchase audio from the store — if that’s what you want.)

Groove Music

03Macgo Media Player

Our next pick, Macgo, is not strictly an MP3 player for Windows 10, but it can work for that purpose if that’s all you need it for. As a media player though, it does function as a video player as well. And, like our previous picks, it’s FREE so you don’t have to worry about paying in order to use it.

Macgo Media Player

04PowerDVD

Again, our next pick is more of a general media player than strictly a MP3 Player for Windows 10 users, but it works just as well if all you’re looking for is to occasionally play the audio that you’ve converted or trimmed!

PowerDVD

05Musicbee

We’re back to strictly MP3 players for Windows with Musicbee! The best part of this app is, undoubtedly, the fact that it has several view options. So, if you want, you have your audio playing from a mini audio player (rather than the full interface — as is shown below). It’s also useful for organizing your media collection!

MusicBee

Part 4 How to Trim Mp3 on Windows 10 Easily

For this next part, we’re going to go over how you might go about trimming your converted audio with an MP3 cutter for Windows. (Note, a lot of the audio editors that we introduced in Part 2 of this article should be capable of this! And, they all work in much the same way.)

01Step 1: Launch MP3 Cutter for Windows 10! Start!

First, launch the MP3 cutter for Windows 10 that you downloaded.

For this example, we’ll be using Joyoshare Media Cutter. And, the way to start is to select the “Open” button, which will prompt you to choose which audio you want to cut.

Launch MP3 Audio Trimmer

02Step 2: Choose Output Option

Next, select the output format that you want your audio to be exported in. (Most MP3 cutters for Windows 10 offers a variety for you to choose from).

Select Output Format Window

03Step 3: Select and Trim Mode!

Joyoshare has two methods of trimming available. The first is the select and trim mode, which is shown in the image below! For this, you use the sliders provider to select which portion of the audio you want to keep!

Basic Audio Trimming Options

04Step 4: Use Encoder Trimmer

If you want a cleaner trim, you click the “Edit” icon beside the audio that you want to trim until you are moved to the encoder window (shown in the image below). This will allow you to pinpoint the best place to cut your audio!

Advanced Encoding Trimming Options

05Step 5: Save Your Audio!

Once you’re done trimming, remember to save!

With Joyoshare, the method of doing this is to select the “Start” button, which will prompt the trimmer to begin cutting the audio.

Save Finished Audio

Key Takeaways from This Episode

There are multiple MP3 converters for Windows and Mac that you can use in order to convert videos to an audio file that you can use for certain projects.

Of course, if you want your finished project to sound clean, you’ll probably need a functional audio editor for that! And, for this matter, we recommend advanced video editing software like Filmora Pro.

Just in case you want to review what your converted audio sounds like, consider one of the audio players that are available for Windows and Mac!

If you find that your audio needs some trimming, a quick trim with an audio cutter should do the trick. It’s very simple to do!

Try It Free Try It Free

Part 3 5 MP3 Music Players for Windows 10/11 PC

The last of the lists in this article is a short one for the best MP3 players for Windows 10! This is a straightforward list, much like the first. And, we’ll be focusing on MP3 players for Windows 10 only (although some of these will work for Mac as well!)

01iTunes

Despite appearances, iTunes actually makes for a great MP3 player for Windows 10 users. After all, it’s interface is clean and it is regularly updated. So, you never have to deal with bugs! (And just in case you weren’t aware, you can add your own original audio to your iTunes library! So, it isn’t like you have to purchase media from the iTunes store just to listen to it.)

iTunes

02Groove Music

Groove Music is a local Mp3 player for Windows 10 that you can download from the Microsoft App Store. It functions much like iTunes — in that you can add original music or audio to the app library (as well as purchase audio from the store — if that’s what you want.)

Groove Music

03Macgo Media Player

Our next pick, Macgo, is not strictly an MP3 player for Windows 10, but it can work for that purpose if that’s all you need it for. As a media player though, it does function as a video player as well. And, like our previous picks, it’s FREE so you don’t have to worry about paying in order to use it.

Macgo Media Player

04PowerDVD

Again, our next pick is more of a general media player than strictly a MP3 Player for Windows 10 users, but it works just as well if all you’re looking for is to occasionally play the audio that you’ve converted or trimmed!

PowerDVD

05Musicbee

We’re back to strictly MP3 players for Windows with Musicbee! The best part of this app is, undoubtedly, the fact that it has several view options. So, if you want, you have your audio playing from a mini audio player (rather than the full interface — as is shown below). It’s also useful for organizing your media collection!

Part 4 How to Trim Mp3 on Windows 10 Easily

For this next part, we’re going to go over how you might go about trimming your converted audio with an MP3 cutter for Windows. (Note, a lot of the audio editors that we introduced in Part 2 of this article should be capable of this! And, they all work in much the same way.)

01Step 1: Launch MP3 Cutter for Windows 10! Start!

First, launch the MP3 cutter for Windows 10 that you downloaded.

For this example, we’ll be using Joyoshare Media Cutter. And, the way to start is to select the “Open” button, which will prompt you to choose which audio you want to cut.

Launch MP3 Audio Trimmer

02Step 2: Choose Output Option

Next, select the output format that you want your audio to be exported in. (Most MP3 cutters for Windows 10 offers a variety for you to choose from).

Select Output Format Window

03Step 3: Select and Trim Mode!

Joyoshare has two methods of trimming available. The first is the select and trim mode, which is shown in the image below! For this, you use the sliders provider to select which portion of the audio you want to keep!

Basic Audio Trimming Options

04Step 4: Use Encoder Trimmer

If you want a cleaner trim, you click the “Edit” icon beside the audio that you want to trim until you are moved to the encoder window (shown in the image below). This will allow you to pinpoint the best place to cut your audio!

Advanced Encoding Trimming Options

05Step 5: Save Your Audio!

Once you’re done trimming, remember to save!

With Joyoshare, the method of doing this is to select the “Start” button, which will prompt the trimmer to begin cutting the audio.

Save Finished Audio

Key Takeaways from This Episode

There are multiple MP3 converters for Windows and Mac that you can use in order to convert videos to an audio file that you can use for certain projects.

Of course, if you want your finished project to sound clean, you’ll probably need a functional audio editor for that! And, for this matter, we recommend advanced video editing software like Filmora Pro.

Just in case you want to review what your converted audio sounds like, consider one of the audio players that are available for Windows and Mac!

If you find that your audio needs some trimming, a quick trim with an audio cutter should do the trick. It’s very simple to do!

Part 1 6 Best Free MP3 Converter for Windows 10 / 11

As promised, we start this off with the best audio converter (Windows 10/11) tools. We’ve decided to go very simple with this list, providing a brief description of all of the FREE MP3 Converters (Windows), a URL that will lead you to the website where you can get the converter, and an image that should show you how the converter’s interface looks like.

01EaseUs MobiMover

EaseUs MobiMover is an audio converter for Windows 10 and 11 that you can use in order to easily convert videos (in various formats) into MP3 (as is shown in the image below. It’s a FREEmium software though — which means that it’s use is limited until you purchase the paid version of the software.

EaseUs MobiMover - MP3 Converter

02Freemake Video Converter

Freemake Video Converter is the first 100% FREE MP3 converter for Windows 10 on this list! They keep the software updated from donations, so you can choose how much money you can spare for using the service! It’s a very simple software besides (as is shown in the image below). It does feature some video editing tools, but its main function is conversion (which includes video-to-audio conversion!)

Freemake Video Converter

03VSDC

Much like Freemake, our next MP3 converter for Windows 10 and 11, called VSDC, is completely FREE — as they run primarily on donations. That does mean that it’s not the most advanced program though — evident from the rather old-school interface (shown in the image below). But, regardless of the lack of abundance in tools, it should function just fine as an audio-video-converter for Windows 10 (and vice versa.)

VSDC - MP3 Converter

04Convertio.co

With Convertio.co, we break the mold a bit! This is not a software, but it does still work for Windows users — as it requires only that you have a working browser from which you can access the website (URL linked below!) As you can see from the image, it works much like most online MP3 converters — you upload a file from your desktop, wait for it to finish converting, and then download it!

Convertio - MP3 Converter

05Free Convert

Free Convert is another online MP3 convert for Windows 10 users that would prefer not to download or install software. And, just like Covertio, it works by uploading the files you want to convert from your computer, waiting for the converters tool to finish converting it, and then downloading the finished product. It is, of course, FREE — but, similar to the first tool on this list, if you want to unlock some of its features, you’ll have to pay for the premium version.

Free Convert - MP3 Converter

06DVDVideoSoft

With DVDVideoSoft, we’re back to an audio-video converter for Windows 10 that you have to download and install to work! It’s a FREEmium software too. That means that you’ll have to pay in order to unlock certain features. But, it works as a solid converter even without that.
