RMVB to 3G2 Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
RMVB is RealMedia with variable-bitrate video — the format Asian fan-sub communities distributed dramas and movies in throughout the 2000s. Converting 3G2 to MP4 rescues old phone videos for modern screens.

About the RMVB format
RMVB is RealMedia Variable Bitrate — the 2000s fan-sub community's format of choice for distributing TV dramas and movies across dial-up-adjacent bandwidths. The VBR twist let action scenes take more bits than talking heads, which static-bitrate RM handled badly.
Conversion to MP4 is the standard migration: the RV40 video decodes through ffmpeg, and a modern H.264 re-encode is usually smaller at the same perceived quality.
+ Strengths
- ✓VBR suited the bandwidth of its era
- ✓Huge corpus of Asian drama content
- ✓Decodes through ffmpeg
! Limitations
- −Mostly SD resolution content
- −RV40 codec support varies by build
- −Licensing strings in some files
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

Frequently asked questions
Is this RMVB to 3G2 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 RMVB to 3G2?
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.
Will the audio track be kept?
Yes. The audio is carried over and re-encoded to the standard audio codec of 3G2, staying in sync with the video. If your RMVB file has multiple audio tracks, the first one is used.
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.
