MP4 or MP3?

Compare MP4 video with MP3 audio before choosing an output. The guide covers picture and sound, device compatibility, expected file-size differences and why converting to a higher MP3 bitrate cannot restore quality missing from the source.

Video resolution

Compare 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 4K for phones, computers and televisions. Learn how pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, frame rate, codec and bitrate affect visible quality and storage.

Audio bitrate

Understand 128, 192 and 320 kbps MP3, when compact speech audio is sufficient and why source audio matters. Calculated examples show how duration and bitrate change the finished file size.

Troubleshooting

Work through public-link validation, privacy restrictions, missing formats, expired posts, active live streams, interrupted large files and one-time download delivery before repeating a failed request.

Helpful things to remember

These guides explain the decisions that appear across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Pinterest, Reddit, SoundCloud, Twitch and Vimeo downloads. The formats offered still depend on the individual public source link.

Use the calculators when you need a numerical estimate. Use the troubleshooting guide when a public link cannot be inspected, a quality is missing or a large transfer is interrupted.
