About 3GP

3GP is a multimedia container format defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for use on 3G mobile phones. It is a simplified version of MP4 designed for low bandwidth and limited storage, storing video (H.263/H.264) and audio (AMR/AAC) streams optimized for mobile playback.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3GP file?▼
3GP is a low-resolution video format designed for early 3G phones, with small files optimized for slow networks. It is the format of choice for old feature-phone recordings.
Why convert 3GP to MP4?▼
Modern phones and apps rarely play 3GP. Converting to MP4 upgrades the video to a format every device supports — and the quality is the same as the original allows.
Is 3GP still used?▼
Mostly on legacy feature phones and in some embedded/surveillance systems. For anything modern, MP4 or WebM are the right choices.
Will converting 3GP improve the quality?▼
No — converting cannot add detail that the original low-resolution 3GP does not have. It only makes the existing content more playable.
Are my recordings uploaded during conversion?▼
Never — everything converts locally in your browser.
