Need High-Quality Audio from Your 3G2 Videos?

3G2 files from older mobile phones contain compressed audio that can be difficult to work with in professional audio applications. AIFF provides the uncompressed format that audio editors and DAWs require for clean processing.

Our converter extracts the audio track from your 3G2 files and outputs it as lossless AIFF, preserving every detail for your workflow.

How to Convert 3G2 to AIFF

  1. Upload your 3G2 file – Drag and drop or click to select your mobile video file
  2. Confirm AIFF output – The converter extracts audio at full quality
  3. Download your AIFF – Ready for use in any audio application

The entire process takes seconds and requires no software installation.

Understanding the Format Conversion

3G2 is a multimedia container developed for 3G mobile networks, typically containing AMR or AAC compressed audio. AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is an uncompressed audio standard developed by Apple.

  • 3G2 audio codecs – Usually AMR-NB at 8kHz or AAC-LC up to 48kHz
  • AIFF specifications – Uncompressed PCM, 16-bit or 24-bit depth, up to 192kHz sample rate
  • File size change – Expect AIFF files to be 5-10x larger than the original audio track

When This Conversion Makes Sense

Audio Restoration Projects

Working with archived mobile recordings that need noise reduction or enhancement benefits from uncompressed AIFF as the working format.

Music Production Sampling

If you captured audio on an older phone and want to incorporate it into a DAW project, AIFF integrates seamlessly with Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and other professional software.

AIFF vs Other Extraction Options

Choosing the right output format depends on your end use:

  • Choose AIFF when: You need uncompressed audio for Mac-based editing or archival
  • Choose WAV when: You need uncompressed audio with broader compatibility
  • Choose MP3 when: File size matters more than audio quality

Process Multiple Files at Once

Have several 3G2 recordings to convert? Upload them together and download all your AIFF files in one batch, saving time on repetitive conversions.

Works on Any Device

Our browser-based converter runs entirely online with no downloads required.

  • Windows, Mac, Linux
  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
  • iPhone, iPad, Android

Pro Tip

If your 3G2 contains AMR audio at 8kHz, consider whether AIFF is necessary. The low source sample rate means you may not benefit from uncompressed storage.

Common Mistake

Users often expect quality improvement from this conversion. AIFF preserves quality but cannot enhance what the original 3G2 compression removed.

Best For

Audio engineers needing to edit or restore voice recordings captured on older 3G mobile devices.

Not Recommended

Simple playback or sharing. The large file size of AIFF is unnecessary if you just want to listen to the audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. AIFF preserves the existing quality without adding compression artifacts, but it cannot restore quality lost in the original 3G2 encoding. The conversion prevents further degradation during editing.

AIFF stores uncompressed audio data. A 1-minute audio track that takes 100KB in 3G2 format may expand to 5-10MB as AIFF. This is expected behavior for lossless formats.

Yes. The converter works in mobile browsers including Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android. Simply upload your file and download the converted AIFF.

The output sample rate matches the original 3G2 audio track. Most 3G2 files contain 8kHz (AMR) or 44.1kHz (AAC) audio, and this rate is preserved in the AIFF output.

Yes. While AIFF was developed by Apple, most Windows audio applications including Audacity, FL Studio, and Ableton Live fully support the format.
