| Description | The 3GPP format, short for Third Generation Partnership Project, is a multimedia container format primarily used for storing audio and video data on mobile devices and for transmission over 3G and 4G cellular networks. It is based on the MPEG-4 Part 14 standard and is commonly associated with files having extensions like .3gp or .3g2. 3GPP files typically contain audio and/or video streams compressed using codecs such as H.264 for video and AAC for audio. These files are optimized for efficient streaming and playback on mobile devices with limited bandwidth and processing power. 3GPP files are widely used for recording and sharing video clips, as well as for video messaging and video conferencing applications on mobile platforms. |
| Technical details | 3GPP files are container formats that can hold various types of multimedia data, including audio, video, and text. The container format is based on the ISO base media file format (ISO/IEC 14496-12), commonly known as MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14). |
