About this tool

Who ends up with MKV files

OBS Studio users, mostly. OBS has long recommended MKV for recordings because a crash or power cut leaves a playable file, while an interrupted MP4 is often lost. Game captures, livestream archives and many screen recorders write MKV, and browser recorders save WEBM.

Why turn a recording into MP3

A one-hour 1080p MKV can run to several gigabytes, mostly picture. The MP3 of the same session at 192 kbps is around 85 MB, small enough to email, upload to a podcast host or feed into a transcription service.

Multiple audio tracks

OBS can record up to six separate audio tracks, for example your microphone on one and game sound on another. This converter exports the primary track only. If that is the wrong one, tick track 1 for your microphone in OBS Advanced Audio Properties before your next session.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert an OBS recording to MP3?

Yes. OBS recordings are often MKV files. Drop the file here and you get the audio as an MP3, useful for podcasts, notes or transcription.

What if my MKV has several audio tracks?

The converter uses the main audio track. If you recorded mic and desktop audio separately in OBS, the first track is the one exported.

Is my MKV file uploaded anywhere?

No. It converts inside your browser, on your own device. Nothing reaches FacelessGenie or any other server.

Is there a file size limit?

Files up to 1 GB work. Long recordings simply take longer on slower devices.

Which browsers work?

Recent Chrome, Edge and Safari handle every format here. Firefox opens most audio. For MP3 problems, Chrome or Edge is the safest retry.
