3gp File Extension

If you find most file extensions remind you more of alphabet soup than an understandable file name, get ready to become familiar with another newer file extension, .3gp. You may actually find yourself using this type of file quite a bit if you are among the millions of Americans who own a video-capable cell phone. 3gp is the file extension used for a multimedia format that transmits audio/video files between cell phones and the Internet.

3gp was developed to provide “new worldwide standards for the creation, delivery and playback of multimedia over 3rd generation, high-speed wireless networks.” (Filext) The 3gp format is based on the MP4 format, from Apple Quicktime. 3gp files are called “multimedia container” format files and are designed to use smaller file sizes so video could be supported by mobile phones. (Desktop Video. About) In an effort to simplify and standardize multimedia formats and transmission, 3gp was developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) which began in December 1998. The 3GPP was formed from worldwide telecommunications standards groups, including the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, Japan’s Association of Radio Industries/Telecommunications Technical Committee, the North American Alliance for Telecommunication Industry Standards, the China Communication Standards Association and South Korea’s Telecommunications Technical Association.
