Editorial Policy & Disclosure

Why This Page Exists

We believe in being upfront about how we run things. No hidden agendas, no fine print tricks, no corporate doublespeak. If you're using our tools or reading our blog, you deserve to know exactly what's going on behind the scenes.

Here's the thing: most websites bury this kind of information (if they share it at all). We'd rather just put it all out there. How we make money, what influences our content, and what standards we hold ourselves to. It's all here, written in plain English by actual humans.

So grab a coffee and read through this if you're curious. Or don't. We won't be offended. But it's here whenever you want it.

Our Editorial Standards

Everything on our blog is written by real people. Not generated by AI and slapped onto a page with zero oversight. Not scraped from somewhere else. Real humans who actually know about audio formats, conversion tools, and the web.

Here's what that means in practice:

• We test what we write about. If we're comparing MP3 bitrates or reviewing an audio format, we've actually tested it. We don't just copy specs from Wikipedia and call it a day.
• We update old posts. The internet changes fast. A blog post from six months ago might already be outdated. When we notice something needs updating, we go back and fix it. No "publish and forget" around here.
• We don't publish filler. We're not going to write 500 words about nothing just to have something new on the blog. If we don't have anything genuinely useful to say, we don't say it.
• If we recommend something, we mean it. Every recommendation on this site comes from actual experience and honest opinion. We don't say things are great when they're mediocre. Life's too short for that.

We also try really hard to keep things simple. Audio and video tech can get complicated fast, and not everyone has a degree in signal processing. So we explain things in ways that actually make sense to normal people. If our content ever feels confusing, that's our failure, not yours.

How We Make Money

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Running a website costs money. Servers, domains, development time, all of it adds up. So how do we keep every single tool on GetMP3.video completely free?

Ads. That's basically it.

We display advertisements through Google AdSense. Those ads generate revenue that covers our costs and keeps the lights on. That's the deal. You see some ads, we get to keep offering 15+ free audio tools with zero restrictions.

Here's what we don't do:

• We don't charge subscriptions. Ever.
• We don't have "premium tiers" or "pro plans" that lock features behind a paywall.
• We don't sell your data. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone.
• We don't gate features behind email signups or account creation.

We also have a Ko-fi page if you feel like buying us a coffee. It's totally optional and we appreciate every single person who does it. But there's zero pressure. The tools work exactly the same whether you donate or not.

Advertising Disclosure

Google AdSense serves the ads you see on our pages. We want to be clear about a few things regarding those ads.

First, we don't hand pick which ads appear. Google's ad network decides what to show you based on your browsing history, location, and other signals that Google collects. We set some basic category filters to block obviously inappropriate stuff, but we don't have granular control over every single ad.

Second, and this is important: advertisers have zero influence over our content. None. We don't write blog posts because an advertiser asked us to. We don't recommend tools because someone paid us. Our content and our ad revenue are completely separate things.

If you ever see an ad that looks sketchy, weird, or inappropriate, that's coming from Google's ad network, not from us directly. We can report those ads and try to block them, so feel free to let us know if something looks off.

You can also opt out of personalized ads through Google's ad settings. That's entirely your choice and it won't affect how our tools work.

Affiliate Links

Currently, we don't use affiliate links. Anywhere. Not in our blog posts, not in our tool pages, nowhere on the site.

If that ever changes in the future, we'll do two things:

• Update this page to reflect the change.
• Clearly mark any affiliate links so you always know when a link might earn us a commission.

Promise. No sneaky links, no hidden referral codes, no surprises.

Content Accuracy

We do our best to keep everything on this site accurate and up to date. But here's the problem: we're human. And the world of audio and video tech doesn't sit still.

Audio formats evolve. Browsers push updates that change how things work. New codecs show up. Old ones get deprecated. What was true six months ago might not be true today. We try to stay on top of all this, but sometimes things slip through the cracks.

If you spot something that's wrong, outdated, or misleading, please email us at [email protected] and we'll fix it. We genuinely appreciate when people take the time to point out errors. It makes our site better for everyone.

Our blog posts include "last updated" dates so you can see how fresh the information is. If a post hasn't been updated in a while and the topic is fast moving, use your judgment. And if you're unsure about something, ask us.

Product Reviews & Comparisons

When we compare audio tools or formats (like MP3 vs AAC vs FLAC vs OGG), we base our comparisons on actual testing and widely accepted technical specifications. We don't just make stuff up or copy what other sites say.

Our testing process is straightforward. We take the same source audio, run it through different formats or tools, and compare the results. We look at file size, audio quality, compatibility, encoding speed, and anything else that matters for that particular comparison.

Nobody pays us to favor one format over another. If FLAC sounds better than MP3 for a specific use case, we'll say that. If MP3 is the better choice for phone storage, we'll say that too. We call it like we see it.

Now, obviously our own tools are featured on our site. That's because, well, it's our site. But here's the thing: we'll tell you honestly when another tool or approach might work better for your specific situation. We're not going to pretend our tools are perfect for every possible use case. That would be dishonest, and you'd figure it out anyway.

User Generated Content

Right now, we don't have comments, forums, user reviews, or any form of user submitted content on the site. It's just our content, written by our team.

If we ever add user generated features in the future (comments on blog posts, community forums, user submitted tips, that kind of thing), we'll moderate that content and update this policy to explain how we handle it.

For now though, everything you read on GetMP3.video was written by us and reviewed by us.

Corrections Policy

We mess up sometimes. Everyone does. But here's the problem with a lot of websites: they quietly edit their mistakes and pretend they never happened. We don't do that.

When we make a factual error in a blog post or on a tool page, here's what happens:

• We fix the error as soon as we become aware of it.
• We note the correction at the bottom of the post or page so you know what changed.
• We update the "last updated" date.

No silent edits on factual stuff. If we said something wrong, we own it, fix it, and move on. Small things like typos or grammar fixes don't get formal correction notes because, come on, nobody cares about a fixed comma splice. But if we got a technical fact wrong or made a misleading claim, you'll see the correction.

Independence

No company, brand, or advertiser tells us what to write. Full stop.

Our opinions are our own. Our recommendations are based on what we genuinely think is best, not what someone paid us to say. The ad revenue we earn supports the site's operations, but it doesn't influence our editorial decisions in any way.

We don't accept sponsored blog posts. We don't do paid reviews. We don't let companies "approve" our content before it goes live. If a company doesn't like what we wrote about their product, that's their problem, not ours.

This independence is important to us because it's important to you. If you can't trust that our recommendations are honest, then what's the point of having a blog at all? We'd rather have fewer readers who trust us than a million visitors who think we're full of it.

Contact
