Storage may come cheap these days, but on mobile devices, it may fill up easily. Why does this happen? Well, our cameras are now powerful and take pictures that are of gigantic megapixels in resolution. And don’t get me started on video. Videos captured by our phones are very large in size. Depending on the length of the video, one video easily eats up multiple GigaBytes (GBs) of space.
Article Summary
- Storage filling up is not uncommon. There are ways to clean it up. One way is to convert your video files into MP3 audio if the visuals are not that important.
- Our Android Application, Video to MP3 Music Converter, helps you in this. Simply install, open the video and convert. The steps are easy
- Safely backup and get rid of the original video to save multiple GBs of disk space.
If you have stored music videos on your phone, then depending on the video quality, you will be able to store less than what you imagined would fit on your Android phone. Combine that with games, and you are scavenging space by sacrificing photos and media, and deleting them from your phone. Some people end up getting disk cleanup apps, which don’t always have the cleanest characters. What is worse is that if you have cloud storage, those fill up quickly, and they come for a price.
Well, this post will teach you one strategy to free up some space on your mobile device. This strategy that I am talking about is converting video files to MP3 format so that they only take up a fraction of storage space. The amount of storage space that you will be left with is unbelievable. However, note that you wouldn’t want to convert the videos of precious memories that you recorded. You want them in full pieces.
What you can convert to audio are music videos, podcasts videos and other instructional videos where even just having the audio is enough. You can easily convert them to just MP3 audio using our video to audio converter application available in the Google Play Store. You load up the video on it, choose the parts and convert it to MP3 quickly.
So here are the steps to reduce file size by converting video to audio on your mobile device:
- Download the Android Application: Get the Video to MP3 Music Converter application from the Google Play Store. Install it on your phone.
- Open the app and video: Access the app from the App Drawer. Open the video file on the application too.
- Crop and Convert: Choose the beginning and the ending for the output and preview it. Convert it once you are satisfied. Conversion is swift.
- Listen to the Music: Open the music in your audio player app. If satisfied, you can back up the video somewhere else and get rid of it from your Android device
So, following the above steps, you have successfully managed to free up multiple GBs of space. We achieved this by just converting videos to audio. You took out the visual parts and got rid of them while saving the musical parts as a highly compressed but high-quality MP3 format. You did lose the visuals for it, but those aren’t always required. What you achieved is a ton of empty disk space for stuff like more pictures, games or newer videos.
