About formats

3GP is a multimedia container format defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project as the standard media format for 3G mobile services. Based on the ISO base media file format (MPEG-4 Part 12), it was designed to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements so that mobile phones with limited capabilities could efficiently capture, store, and play video content. The format typically uses H.263 or H.264 video codecs paired with AMR-NB, AMR-WB, or AAC audio. 3GP was instrumental in bringing multimedia to mobile devices during the early smartphone era, when network speeds and device hardware imposed tight constraints on file sizes. The streamlined container strips away overhead found in full MP4 files, resulting in significantly smaller files that stream reliably over slow 3G connections. 3GP supports both GSM and UMTS network protocols and includes provisions for timed text and still images within the container. Broad adoption by major handset manufacturers ensured that practically every 3G-capable phone could handle 3GP media natively. Although modern mobile devices now favor MP4 and other advanced formats, 3GP files are still encountered in archives of older mobile recordings and in regions where bandwidth-efficient video delivery remains important.

MAUD is an audio file format developed by MacroSystem for the Commodore Amiga platform, introduced in the early 1990s as part of their digital video and audio production tools. Built on the Amiga IFF (Interchange File Format) chunk architecture, MAUD files organize data into clearly delineated chunks — MHDR for the header, MDAT for sample data, and optional annotation chunks for metadata. The format supports mono and stereo layouts with bit depths of 8 or 16 bits and sample rates up to 48 kHz, which represented professional-grade specifications on Amiga hardware. Both signed linear PCM and A-law/mu-law encodings are available, offering a choice between fidelity and file size. MAUD saw primary use in the Amiga video production community, where MacroSystem Retina and VLab Motion boards demanded synchronized audio that the standard 8SVX format could not deliver. Conversion support exists today through SoX and libsndfile, ensuring vintage Amiga productions remain recoverable. Three distinct advantages stand out: clean IFF-based structure that any chunk-aware parser can navigate, 16-bit stereo capability ahead of typical Amiga audio, and lightweight overhead that left maximum CPU headroom for video rendering.
Initial release: 1992

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I convert 3GP to MAUD?

MAUD is used in particular professional or legacy systems. Moving 3GP audio to MAUD ensures compatibility with applications that depend on this format.

What programs open MAUD files?

You can play MAUD with Amiga audio software and SoX for cross-platform playback.

Can I batch convert multiple 3GP files?

Batch conversion is supported. Add multiple 3GP recordings and convert them to MAUD simultaneously — our servers handle them in parallel.

Does converting 3GP to MAUD lose quality?

With proper settings, the converted MAUD retains excellent clarity. Lossless formats preserve full quality, while lossy ones trade minimal detail for size.

Is the conversion private and secure?

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

Do I need to install anything?

No downloads or plugins needed. The 3GP to MAUD converter runs entirely in your web browser — just visit convertio.tools and start converting.
