Extract the audio
Keep only the sound, as an MP3.
Drop the video to take audio from
MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV. Up to 10 minutes, 2 GB.
An interview, a lecture recording, a podcast episode, whatever is left of a gig - sometimes only the sound matters. This takes the audio track out and gives it to you as an MP3.
The output is 128 kbps stereo MP3: plenty for speech, plenty for music, and small.
Your video is never uploaded. The work happens inside the browser, on your own device, and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded. So there is no upload to wait for, no queue, and no file sitting on somebody else’s server afterwards.
If the video has no audio track, the page says so rather than handing you an empty file.
Files up to 10 minutes and 2 GB. That is not a plan limit - it is what an ordinary laptop or phone handles comfortably. Trim a longer video first.
Common questions
- What quality will it be?
- 128 kbps stereo MP3. It cannot be better than the source; if that was poor, so is this.
- Can I get a WAV?
- Not yet - MP3 only. WAV files are too large to be practical as a browser download.
- Can I take audio from a copyrighted video?
- The tool will do it, but that is on you. Do not use material you do not have the rights to.
- Can I take only part of it?
- Trim the range you want first, then extract the audio.
Step-by-step guides on this
- How to add music to a video in the browserMusic goes on a row of its own under the video, so you can move it, trim it and turn it down without touching the picture. Both files stay on your computer.
- How to remove background noise from a videoA hum under the voice makes a good video sound cheap. One switch takes most of it out, and the sound never leaves your computer.
