Convert FLV to MP3
Only the sound of the FLV is kept, encoded again as MP3. If the file already carries MP3 audio, it’s copied as it is, with no loss.

What changes
Only if your FLV already has MP3 audio does MP3 accept it as it is, so the converter copies the audio without re-encoding, in seconds and with no loss. If not, or if you change the quality, volume or trim, the audio is decoded and compressed again, and loses a little more detail.
If it’s copied, the MP3 is the same size as the FLV's audio track: far smaller than the original, since the picture is gone. If it’s re-encoded, it gets smaller: MP3 stores the same content in less space.
Your browser may not be able to open FLV files, but the converter reads the file itself, so it can still convert it.
How big the MP3 will be
At 192 kbps, 4 min of MP3 take 5.8 MB.
When it’s worth it

Questions
Does converting FLV to MP3 lose quality?
Usually a little, because the audio is compressed again. Only files that already carry a codec MP3 accepts are copied without loss.
What is the MP3 format?
A lossy codec where the audio is cut down by removing sounds the ear can’t hear, so a track keeps a reasonable size at a typical bitrate. It’s still the most widely playable audio format, which is why it’s the default for sharing music.
What is the FLV format?
Flash Video, the container Adobe Flash Player used for web streaming, holding H.264 or VP6 with AAC audio. Flash is long gone, but a lot of video from that era is still only available as .flv.
Are the files uploaded?
No. The file is opened in this tab, converted here and saved from here. There’s no account and no watermark.
How many files can be converted at once?
Up to 200 per batch and about 2 GB per file, within the memory this device has available.
