What is MP4?
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most widely used digital video container format. Developed by the
Moving Picture Experts Group, MP4 can store video, audio, subtitles, and still images in a
single file. It's compatible with virtually all devices including smartphones, tablets,
computers, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. MP4 uses efficient compression algorithms like H.264
and H.265 to deliver high-quality video at smaller file sizes, making it perfect for streaming
and downloading.
What is MP3?
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) revolutionized the music industry as the first widely adopted digital
audio format. Developed in the late 1980s, MP3 compresses audio files to approximately one-tenth
of their original size while maintaining near CD-quality sound. This compression made it
possible to store thousands of songs on portable devices and share music over the internet.
Today, MP3 remains the universal standard for audio files, supported by every music player,
smartphone, and audio application.
