## Questions & answers

### I don't know which format to pick, what should I use?

MP3 for podcasts and speech (small files, works everywhere), AAC for higher quality at the same size, WAV or FLAC for lossless if you're editing the audio further.

### What bitrate should I pick?

128kbps is fine for speech and podcasts. 192-320kbps is better for music. Higher bitrate means bigger file with diminishing quality returns past 320kbps.

### Will the audio be uploaded to a server?

No. Extraction runs in your browser via WebAssembly, your video never leaves your device, and we keep nothing.

### Can I extract just a section, not the whole audio?

Yes. Set start and end points before exporting to pull out just the segment you need.

## Stop editing one clip at a time.

OpenClip finds your best moments, reframes them face-aware for every platform, writes the captions, and posts them. One upload, a week of content.
