3G2 to MPG Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
3G2 is the CDMA-era mobile video format — tiny, low-resolution clips from old feature phones. Converting DVD-ripped MPG files to MP4 makes them playable everywhere at a fraction of the size.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.
How 3G2 compares to MPG
| 3G2 | MPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | H.263 / baseline H.264 | MPEG-1 / MPEG-2 |
| Quality | Low resolution | Standard definition |
| Compatibility | Legacy CDMA phones | Universal decode |
| Best for | Old mobile clips | Legacy disc and capture video |

About the 3G2 format
3G2 is the 3GPP2 variant of the mobile video format family, born on CDMA networks (Verizon, KDDI) where 3GP ruled GSM sides. Structurally it is a cousin of MP4 carrying H.263 or H.264 baseline video with QCELP/EVRC or AMR audio.
It shares 3GP's fate: low-resolution clips trapped on old phones. Conversion to MP4 is lossless in spirit — the pixels simply move into a container every modern device accepts.
+ Strengths
- ✓Tiny files for its era
- ✓Structurally close to MP4 — clean conversions
! Limitations
- −Low resolution and quality ceiling
- −Obsolete outside old CDMA phones
About the MPG format
MPG (MPEG program stream) usually means MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video — the codecs of VCD, SVCD and DVD, and of countless home video captures in the 1990s and 2000s. MPEG-1 tops out around VHS-grade 352×288; MPEG-2 delivers proper standard definition and still runs inside broadcast and DVD infrastructure.
Playback compatibility is its superpower: MPEG-1/2 decode paths exist in every player and hardware made this century. Quality-to-bitrate efficiency, however, is a generation behind H.264 — converting old MPG files to MP4 typically halves their size.
+ Strengths
- ✓Decodes on essentially every player and device
- ✓Simple, battle-tested standard
! Limitations
- −Inefficient codecs by modern standards
- −MPEG-1 is VHS-grade at best
Why convert 3G2 to MPG?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of MPG meet what 3G2 cannot give you. Decodes on essentially every player and device Meanwhile Low resolution and quality ceiling One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this 3G2 to MPG converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for 3G2 to MPG?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Why is video conversion slower than image conversion?
Every frame has to be decoded and re-encoded. This site runs that work on your own CPU via WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded, but a multi-minute video reasonably takes a few minutes. Images, by comparison, are single-frame jobs.
Will the audio track be kept?
Yes. The audio is carried over and re-encoded to the standard audio codec of MPG, staying in sync with the video. If your 3G2 file has multiple audio tracks, the first one is used.
