There is nothing that can save a boring long bus ride like listening to music, looking through the window, and imagining that you’re the main character in a movie. And what can you do when you don’t have internet data on your phone and there isn’t any WiFi signal nearby? Converting videos with your phone is not only possible but is also very simple. Here are some ways you can do it.

Transfer It from Your Computer

If you want to avoid installing and downloading anything directly, you could convert the video on your computer and then use Bluetooth or cable to transfer the files to your phone. As seen when you click here, there is software that offers quick and simple conversion in only just a few clicks. You can search and find out how to install and use it. They are safe, and the files that are being downloaded will pass through multiple malware checks. If you don’t want to risk being in danger of your data being stolen, you should consider converting it this way.

Music Downloader Apps

Most music downloader apps automatically convert videos from YouTube into an audio file. You just type the name of the video you want to convert and they show you multiple options, all of them being from YouTube. The main problem with these apps is that they can be full of ads and pop-ups that can seriously harm your phone. To download converted files, you need to give the app permission to access your media and other documents. This means that your data can be stolen and used in promotional and other kinds of content, which is the least dangerous thing that can happen.

Video to Audio Conversion Websites

Instead of having to install something on your phone, you can simply go to the search engine and find the video to audio conversion sites. This route is riskier because some of them can be pretty deceitful and trick you into downloading malware or harming your data. When you are downloading files, your device becomes vulnerable, and many sites could try to take advantage of it. You need to put in the link to the video you want to convert and the conversion should be over in a couple of seconds.

Video Editing Apps

You can download a video editing app and separate the video from audio that way. It will take more time than any other way but it is probably the safest. You simply screen record while playing the video and then edit it in the app. However, this process is lengthy and is not convenient if you want to convert more videos at once. Also, the quality of your audio could be lowered significantly. It is not the most efficient way of converting to audio files but it is worth mentioning because that way you are not in danger of contaminating your device.

Benefits

Converting video to audio files could be used in many different ways. The most obvious one is for listening to music. You could also use it if you want to put part of an audio sample in the video you are creating, put it as a ringtone, or gather sound effects. The possibilities of converting to audio files are endless. The only thing you should avoid is using the full unauthorized audio clip into something you’re creating because it could cause legal issues. It should only be used in private.

Dangers

As we previously pointed out, there are quite a few dangers when you’re downloading something to your mobile phone. There is very much private data stored in your mobile device and making it vulnerable could even lead to identity theft. Be careful when converting through third-party software. Make sure that it has good reviews and that it doesn’t ask for the data that is not necessary for converting video to audio, like access to your contacts or your social media.

Legality

The video conversion is not illegal on its own. However, when you’re converting YouTube videos you need to make sure that they are not copyrighted and that they are public domain, especially if you plan to use the audio, or even a part of it, for creating and publishing your own content. Of course, nobody can prevent you from converting your own videos. Watch out for the content that is copyrighted and you should not have any legal troubles.

Not only is converting video to MP3 on your phone possible, but it is also very efficient and if you’re careful, completely safe. You can use the audio in many different interesting and creative ways. Always check before downloading anything and don’t give any permissions to the apps that you are not completely sure are safe.
