Convert WhatsApp, Telegram and Discord Opus voice notes to MP3 that play anywhere. Drop a .opus file below and the output is already set to MP3.
1
Drag and drop your .opus file onto the box above, or click Choose Files. The request is already filled in: “Convert this to MP3”.

The AI assistant uses sensible defaults. To choose the bitrate, codec or sample rate yourself, say so in the request, for example “Convert this to MP3 at 320 kbps”.

The assistant opens with your file and converts it on your own device; the file itself is never uploaded. When the MP3 file is ready, click Save. Prefer to set everything by hand, or batch-convert several files into a ZIP? The classic converter is one click away on this page.
Opus is the codec behind WhatsApp voice messages, Telegram audio and Discord recordings, and most phones, car stereos and Windows programs cannot open .opus files. Converting Opus to MP3 makes voice notes and calls easy to share, archive and play.
The converter decodes Opus at 48 kHz in your browser and encodes an MP3 at the bitrate you pick; 96 to 128 kbps is plenty for speech. Private messages never leave your device.
Opus (Opus Interactive Audio Codec): Opus is the modern open codec built for voice and music at low bitrates. WhatsApp voice notes, Discord and WebRTC calls all use it, but many players still cannot open .opus files. It is best for voice notes, calls and low-bitrate streaming.
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III): MP3 is the universal lossy audio format. It plays on every device made in the last twenty-five years and offers small files with good quality at 192 to 320 kbps. It is best for music players, podcasts, phones and sharing.
In short: keep Opus when the priority is voice notes, calls and low-bitrate streaming, and switch to MP3 when the file is headed for music players, podcasts, phones and sharing. Need a different target? The full Audio Converter supports every format listed below.
Long-press the voice message, tap Share or Forward and save it to Files or Drive, then drop it into the converter.
Opus is far more efficient for speech. An MP3 at 96 kbps will be roughly three times larger but plays everywhere.
Yes. Converting Opus to MP3 on Convertor.video is free, with no watermark and no sign-up. The AI assistant runs on a free daily allowance of assistant credits; the classic converter on this page has no daily limit at all.
No. The conversion runs inside your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your .opus file is read and converted on your own device and never uploaded, which keeps private recordings private and means there is no waiting in an upload queue. The AI assistant only sees what you type and basic facts about the file: its name, format, duration and size.
There is no plan or account limit, but the converter loads the whole Opus file into your browser's memory, so about 2 GB per file is the practical ceiling; larger files may fail to open. Long or high-resolution files also take longer, especially on phones.
Yes. Ask the AI assistant for a bitrate, codec or sample rate in your request. Audio track selection and every other setting are in the classic converter, one click away on this page.
MP3 is a lossy format, so the Opus audio is decoded and re-encoded. Keep the bitrate at 100% (or pick 256 to 320 kbps) and the difference is inaudible for almost all listeners.
It is built and tested on current desktop Chrome and Edge. The conversion itself runs in WebAssembly, which every current desktop browser supports, so speed depends mostly on your computer's processor.
