About the TED to MP3 converter
TED talks to listen to on the go.
Most TED talks work just as well heard as watched: a speaker, a big idea and around 18 minutes on science, business, psychology, education or design. This converter takes the audio of a TED talk and saves it as an MP3, so you can listen like a podcast on your commute, at the gym or with the screen off.
It is free and unlimited: no sign-up, no TED login and no cap on how many talks you convert.
Conversions are lightning fast, with most MP3s ready in seconds.
Choose 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps — 128 kbps is plenty for a voice, and higher bitrates suit talks with live music. The talk's thumbnail is added as cover art and its title goes into the audio metadata, so a playlist of talks looks tidy in your audio player and file manager.
Language learners replay talks to practise listening, students keep lectures for revision, and many people build a queue of talks for a long drive.
Paste the link of the talk page (ted.com/talks/…). TED talks are shared under a Creative Commons licence for non-commercial use, so credit TED and don't sell or edit them. To keep the picture as well, use the TED Video Downloader.
