Why a paid converter is the one worth using
Free converters bury you in ads, cap your batch, watermark the result and make money from your files. Video to 3GP Cyborg is paid for by you — so it works for you.
50 files in one batch
Convert up to 50 videos at once instead of one-at-a-time. No queue, no per-file wait.
Anonymous & private
No ad or analytics tracking on what you convert, and your files are never sold or shared for marketing.
Smaller files, no watermark
No watermark burned into your video and no ads around the download. 3GP is a small format by design, and the size comes from the format, not from us degrading your file further.

Free video converters exist because ads and your uploaded files pay for them — and they still cap you at a few videos, burn in a watermark, or quietly cut the resolution. Video to 3GP Cyborg starts at €1 for a day, installs nothing, converts up to 50 files at once from 12 input formats, and never watermarks. No pop-ups, no ad tracking.
Every video format we convert to 3GP
Phone clips, screen recordings, today's downloads, camera footage — 12 input formats in, one 3GP out.

Phone & camera
MOV, 3GP and M4V
iPhone MOV clips and M4V files. Modern phone video is the most common thing people bring here, usually to get it onto a much older handset.
Windows classics
AVI and WMV
AVI and WMV files from old camcorders, screen recorders and archives. Both are far too heavy for a feature phone until they are re-encoded.
High-quality containers
MKV
MKV files brought down to something a 2G-era device can decode. MKV carries codecs no feature phone has ever supported, so this is always a real re-encode.
Web formats
WebM and FLV
WebM and FLV downloads. Neither format existed in a form any feature phone could play, so both are re-encoded to H.263 and AAC.
Legacy & broadcast
MPG and MPEG
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 from DVD rips and TV captures. Older than most inputs here, but still far heavier than 3GP, so they are re-encoded too.
Animation
GIF
Animated GIFs turned into a real 3GP video track — what a phone's video player expects, rather than a sequence of still images.
All 12 input formats: MP4, M4V, MOV, WMV, AVI, MKV, MPG, MPEG, GIF, FLV, 3GP, WEBM, up to 50 files a batch. Output is 3GP with H.263 video and AAC audio at 352×288, 20 fps. Every input is genuinely re-encoded — 3GP cannot carry H.264, VP9 or any modern codec, which is exactly why the devices that need 3GP cannot play anything else.
Converting a specific format to 3GP
The exact conversion you came for, and why you would do it.
MOV to 3GP
Apple QuickTime Movie
iPhone and QuickTime recordings shrunk down for an older handset. A modern phone clip is often 100× the size a 3GP device can handle.
MP4 to 3GP
MPEG-4 Part 14
The most common conversion here. MP4 carries H.264, which no feature phone can decode, so the file is re-encoded to H.263 — the codec those handsets were designed around.
MKV to 3GP
Matroska Video
MKV carries codecs no 3GP device has ever supported, so this is a full re-encode down to H.263 and a 352×288 frame.
WMV to 3GP
Windows Media Video
Windows Media files converted for a handset that has never had a Windows Media decoder.
WEBM to 3GP
WebM
WebM downloads. VP9 and Opus are far newer than any device asking for 3GP, so the file is fully re-encoded.
FLV to 3GP
Flash Video
The old Flash container. Both formats are from roughly the same era, but FLV was a desktop format and 3GP is the phone one.
AVI to 3GP
Audio Video Interleave
AVI files, usually DivX, brought down to the frame size and bitrate a feature phone can actually decode and store.
M4V to 3GP
Apple MPEG-4 Video
Apple's MP4 variant, converted the same way. DRM-protected M4V files bought from iTunes cannot be converted by any tool.
MPG to 3GP
MPEG-1 / MPEG-2 Video
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 from DVD rips and TV captures, re-encoded down to a frame size a handset can display.
MPEG to 3GP
Moving Picture Experts Group
The same MPEG-1/MPEG-2 video as a .mpg file, written with the longer extension — converted identically.
GIF to 3GP
Graphics Interchange Format
An animated GIF turned into a proper 3GP video track with real timing, rather than a stack of frames.

When you actually need 3GP
Nobody picks 3GP for its own sake in 2026 — a device demands it. Here is when that happens:
R
Cheap portable media players
Budget players sold as "MP4 players" frequently only ever decoded H.263 in a 3GP container.
P
Older car head units
Some in-dash systems from the 3G era read video from a USB stick, and 3GP is the only format they accept.
F
MMS and low-bandwidth sending
3GP was designed to travel over a 2G network, so the files stay small enough for connections that still are.
T
Embedded and industrial screens
Display panels and handheld terminals that were never updated often accept exactly one video format.
S
Very tight storage limits
When the target has a few hundred megabytes total, 3GP fits hours of video where MP4 fits minutes.
Whatever the source, drop up to 50 files and get 3GP files back.
Do you actually need 3GP?
Worth two minutes before you convert. 3GP is a genuinely obsolete format, and for most people MP4 is the better answer.
3GP or MP4?
If the device was made after roughly 2013, use MP4. It is smaller at the same quality, holds a far better picture, and every phone, TV and browser made since plays it. 3GP only wins when the hardware predates MP4 support entirely — and then it wins completely, because nothing else will open.
What 3GP was built for
3GPP designed it for 2G and 3G handsets: tiny screens, slow networks, and video sent over MMS. That is why the output here is 352×288 at 20 fps — not a limitation we chose, but the envelope those devices decode.
When it is still the right answer
Feature phones and keypad handsets still in daily use, older car head units, cheap MP4-branded media players that only ever supported H.263, and embedded or industrial screens that were never updated. If one of those is your target, 3GP is not a downgrade — it is the only thing that plays.
If you are here because a device demands 3GP, you are in the right place. If you are here because you saw the format mentioned somewhere, Video to MP4 Cyborg is almost certainly what you want instead — and it is in the same account.
Need a different format — or a different tool?
Looking for 3GP videos to download rather than a file to convert? This tool works on videos you already have. If you are starting from a link, Video Cyborg downloads the video first. Want something modern phones and TVs play? Video to MP4. Just need it smaller? Compress Video.
Common questions
Getting started
What is Video to 3GP Cyborg?
Video to 3GP Cyborg converts video files — MP4, M4V, MOV, WMV, AVI, MKV, MPG, MPEG, GIF, FLV and WebM — to 3GP. Drop your videos in and it hands them back with H.263 video and AAC audio, up to 50 at a time.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Video to 3GP Cyborg runs in your browser — no extension, no software, no permissions. The conversion happens on our servers, so even a phone gets through a big batch without slowing down.
What devices and browsers are supported?
Video to 3GP Cyborg works in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS 12 or later. Because the work happens server-side, a phone or tablet converts just as fast as a desktop.
Why is this better than a browser extension?
Four reasons: there is nothing to install and no browser permissions to grant; you can convert 50 files in one batch instead of one at a time; conversion runs on our servers, so it doesn’t slow your machine down or depend on your hardware; and we don’t sell or share your files, which is how most “free” extensions are funded.
Formats, batches & quality
Which formats can I convert to 3GP?
MP4, M4V, MOV, WMV, AVI, MKV, MPG, MPEG, GIF, FLV, 3GP and WEBM — 12 formats in total. 3GP is accepted as an input too, which is useful when you have a 3GP file a particular device still refuses and you want it re-encoded to the standard H.263 and AAC pair.
Should I use 3GP or MP4?
MP4, unless a specific device is refusing it. MP4 is smaller at the same quality, keeps far more detail, and plays on essentially everything made in the last decade. 3GP is worth choosing only when the hardware predates MP4 support — a feature phone, an old car head unit, a cheap media player, an embedded screen. In that case 3GP is not the worse option, it is the only one that opens. If you are unsure which you need, try MP4 first: if it plays, you are done.
Can I convert a YouTube video to 3GP here?
Not directly — this tool converts files you already have on your computer, so there is nowhere to paste a link. Download the video first with Video Cyborg, which does take a URL, then drop the downloaded file here. Both tools are in the same account, so it costs nothing extra.
How many videos can I convert at once?
Up to 50 files per batch. Drop them all in at once — no queue, no per-file waiting. There’s no limit on how many batches you can run while your pass or plan is active.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed size cap. Large videos simply take longer to upload and process, so use a stable connection for big files.
Does converting lose quality?
Yes, and a lot of it — that is what 3GP is. Every file is re-encoded to H.263 at 352×288 and 20 fps, with mono AAC audio, because that is the envelope the devices needing 3GP can decode. A 1080p clip loses most of its detail. This is not us cutting corners: 3GP cannot carry H.264 or any modern codec, and a higher-resolution 3GP would simply not play on the hardware you are targeting. The aspect ratio is preserved, nothing is stretched, and we never add a watermark.
How do I get the best possible quality?
Start from the highest-quality original you have rather than an already-compressed copy, and expect the result to be limited by 3GP itself rather than by your source. Footage that is already sharp and well-lit survives the drop to 352×288 much better than dark or noisy video.
Can I adjust the output settings?
Not for now — Video to 3GP Cyborg runs one standard conversion tuned for device compatibility, with no bitrate or frame size to get wrong. Those settings are what makes the output play on the hardware people convert to 3GP for in the first place.
Pricing, privacy & limits
How much does it cost?
A €1 day pass gives you 24 hours of unlimited conversions. Yearly (€6) and lifetime (€30) plans are also available (+ VAT). Every plan unlocks all 78 AppsCyborg tools, not just this one.
How long does my download link stay valid?
60 minutes. After that the link expires and the converted files are removed — just re-run the conversion if you need them again.
Do you track or keep my files?
No. We don’t run ad or analytics tracking on what you convert, and your files are never sold or shared for marketing. Uploaded videos are processed only to build your 3GP files and are removed once the 60-minute download window closes.
Is there a limit on how often I can convert?
No. While your day pass, yearly or lifetime plan is active you can run as many 50-file batches as you like — there is no monthly quota and no per-conversion charge.
Can I convert 3GP back to another format?
Yes, with the matching converter — this one goes to 3GP. Video to MP4 Cyborg takes 3GP and produces MP4 for phones, TVs and editors. Bear in mind the detail lost on the way down to 3GP does not come back — converting up gives you an MP4, not the original quality.
Still have a question?
