About formats

3G2 (3GPP2 file format) is a multimedia container developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 for use on CDMA2000 mobile networks. Built on the ISO base media file format (MPEG-4 Part 12), it stores video encoded with H.263 or MPEG-4 Visual alongside audio in AMR, EVRC, or AAC codecs. The specification was first published in December 2003 to provide a standardized way for CDMA-based phones and networks to handle multimedia messaging and video playback. 3G2 files are engineered for extremely low-bandwidth conditions, achieving playable video quality at bit rates as low as 30-60 kbps. This makes the format especially efficient for mobile video capture on devices with limited processing power and storage. The container supports multiple tracks, timed text for subtitles, and embedded metadata. One significant benefit is near-universal compatibility with CDMA handsets from the mid-2000s era, ensuring reliable playback across a wide range of mobile devices. Though newer formats like MP4 have superseded 3G2 for most purposes, it remains useful for working with legacy mobile content and for situations where minimal file size is the primary concern.
Initial release: December 2003
AMB files contain audio encoded in Ambisonic B-format, a full-sphere surround sound technique conceived by Michael Gerzon during the 1970s. Unlike channel-based systems such as 5.1 or 7.1, Ambisonics captures a complete three-dimensional sound field using spherical harmonics — first-order B-format consists of four channels: W (omnidirectional), X (front-back), Y (left-right), and Z (up-down). This representation is speaker-independent, meaning one recording can be decoded to any loudspeaker arrangement or binaural headphones without remixing. AMB files typically store uncompressed PCM data and are processed by tools like SoX or specialized plugins. A core advantage is spatial flexibility — creators produce one master file that adapts to stereo, surround, or immersive playback. The format also scales elegantly: higher-order Ambisonics adds channels for increased spatial precision upon the same mathematical framework. With the growth of virtual reality, 360-degree video, and spatial audio for gaming, Ambisonics has experienced a resurgence, adopted by platforms like YouTube for immersive media delivery.
Initial release: 1975

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I convert 3G2 to AMB?

AMB targets a particular set of hardware or software systems. Extracting AMB from 3G2 ensures your audio is ready for those specialized environments.

What apps support AMB playback?

AMB is supported by Ambisonic audio tools, SoX, and spatial audio processing software.

Can I convert 3G2 to AMB on my phone?

Absolutely. The converter runs entirely in your mobile browser on iOS or Android — upload 3G2, pick AMB, and save the output to your device.

Is the conversion private and secure?

Your 3G2 uploads are processed securely and removed right after conversion. Output files are purged within 24 hours to protect your privacy.

How long does 3G2 to AMB conversion take?

Processing time depends on file size and quality settings. Most clips convert to AMB within a couple of minutes on our cloud servers.

Will the entire audio track be extracted?

All audio from the 3G2 source is captured in the AMB output. The conversion preserves the full duration of the original soundtrack.
