What is a .3GP file?
3GP is a mobile video container used by older phones.
- Did you know
- 3GP was created for the first 3G mobile phones in the early 2000s.
- 3GP is the 3GPP container for GSM-network phones, and it shares the ISO base media file format with MP4, so the two are close cousins internally.
- It was deliberately kept lean on storage and bandwidth so the first camera phones could capture and multimedia-message short clips.
- 3GP commonly pairs H.263 or MPEG-4 video with AMR speech audio, a combination chosen for low-power mobile hardware.
- Its CDMA-network counterpart is 3G2, which swaps in CDMA-specific audio codecs but keeps the same overall structure.
- What Analyser shows you
- Read the container, codec, resolution, and frame rate of MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, and WebM video, step through frames, and extract the audio track. Raw H.264/H.265 elementary streams (.h264/.265) are remuxed to MP4 in-browser so they play too.
- Open a .3GP file
- Drag a .3GP file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
