3GP Video to CAF conversion is the process of transforming video files in the 3GP container format—commonly used on older mobile phones and low-bandwidth networks—into CAF (Core Audio Format) files, which are Apple’s flexible, high-fidelity audio containers. This conversion typically extracts and transcodes the audio track from the 3GP video into CAF, enabling better audio editing, longer-duration storage, or compatibility with macOS/iOS audio workflows.

The 3GP format typically uses the MIME type video/3gpp and commonly encodes audio with AMR or AAC codecs, making it suitable for mobile devices. CAF files use the MIME type audio/x-caf and support a wide range of codecs including Apple Lossless and PCM, which allows for high-resolution audio storage. CAF is widely used in professional audio workflows on Apple platforms due to its extensibility and robust metadata handling.
The CAF (.CAF) format is commonly used for video. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like 3GP Video.

Our Online 3GP to CAF Converter enables you to quickly and seamlessly convert your 3GP Video files into CAF format without installing any software. Designed for convenience, this tool supports high-quality conversions suitable for a variety of applications.
3GP Video is primarily designed for mobile video playback and often uses compressed audio, which can limit sound quality. In contrast, CAF is a flexible audio container that supports higher quality audio codecs and is optimized for professional audio editing. While 3GP focuses on efficient storage, CAF provides richer audio fidelity and better metadata support.
Keep input 3GP files under 250 MB for faster browser-based conversion; split very long recordings to avoid timeouts.
To preserve maximum audio quality, convert to CAF with linear PCM or ALAC rather than lossy AAC-in-CAF.
For batch conversions, use desktop tools or a reliable online service with queueing support to avoid manual repetition.
Be aware many 3GP files use narrowband AMR audio; upscaling to high sample rates won’t restore lost detail—choose appropriate sample rate (8–16 kHz for AMR, 44.1–48 kHz for AAC).
This converter makes switching from 3GP to CAF effortless and fast.
