PDF.to wraps your MP2 audio into a 3GP video with a static cover image (or a generated waveform) as the visual track. Upload the MP2, optionally drop in a cover image, and download the finished 3GP.
Why would I convert MP2 audio to a 3GP video?
+
A 3GP video plays everywhere a raw MP2 sometimes will not — most notably on video-only platforms and social feeds that require a video container. It is the standard way to publish a podcast, song, or mix as a shareable 3GP.
What plays in the picture of the 3GP?
+
By default PDF.to shows a single still cover image for the full duration. You can upload your own artwork, or let the converter render an animated waveform that moves with the MP2 audio.
Will the audio quality of my MP2 change in the 3GP?
+
The MP2 stream is re-encoded into the 3GP container at a high audio bitrate (192 kbps AAC by default), so it stays effectively transparent for music and speech. Lossless MP2 sources are not upsampled.
What resolution is the 3GP video?
+
The 3GP matches the cover image you supply, defaulting to 1280x720. Because the picture is static, a higher resolution adds almost nothing to the file size — the bulk of a 3GP made from MP2 is the audio.
Can I set a custom thumbnail or cover for the 3GP?
+
Yes. Upload any JPG or PNG and PDF.to centers it on a solid background for the whole 3GP. This is how you give a MP2 track a branded video thumbnail.
Does the 3GP keep the title and artist tags from my MP2?
+
Where the 3GP container supports metadata, title and artist tags from the MP2 are carried over. The cover artwork embedded in the MP2 is also used automatically if you do not supply your own.
Can I batch-convert many MP2 files to 3GP?
+
Yes. Drop a folder of MP2 files and each becomes its own 3GP video; all of them are zipped for a single download.
Is the MP2 to 3GP conversion free?
+
Yes, within the free size limit. PRO unlocks much larger MP2 uploads, longer durations, and parallel jobs.
How long can the MP2 be?
+
Full-length albums and multi-hour MP2 recordings convert fine. Because the picture is static, even a long 3GP stays modest in size relative to a filmed video of the same length.
Will the 3GP play on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok?
+
Yes. PDF.to encodes the 3GP with a widely supported codec and pixel format, so the resulting video uploads cleanly to the major platforms that reject bare MP2 audio.
Are my MP2 files private during conversion?
+
Uploads are encrypted in transit, the conversion runs in an isolated worker, and both the MP2 and the rendered 3GP are deleted automatically a short time after you download.
