How extract audio from video works

Video files contain separate audio and video tracks multiplexed into a single container. Extracting audio strips the video track and saves only the sound, producing a much smaller file. This is useful for podcasts recorded as video, music videos, lectures, and any video where you only need the audio.

FAQ

Is this free?

Yes, completely free. No signup, no watermarks, no hidden fees.

Is my file safe?

Files are processed on our servers and immediately deleted. We never store or share your files.

What's the maximum file size?

You can process files up to 100MB.

Which video formats are supported?

We support all major video formats: MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, and WebM. Upload any of these and choose your preferred audio output format.

What audio format should I choose?

MP3 is the most compatible choice for music and podcasts. WAV gives you uncompressed audio for editing. FLAC provides lossless compression for archival quality. AAC and OGG offer good quality at smaller file sizes.

Will the audio quality be preserved?

Yes. The audio track is extracted and re-encoded at high quality. For the absolute best quality, choose WAV or FLAC which preserve the original audio data without lossy compression.

Can I extract audio from a YouTube video?

You need to first download the video file, then upload it here to extract the audio. We process local files only — we don't accept URLs.

How long does extraction take?

Most video files are processed in a few seconds. Longer videos (30+ minutes) may take up to a minute depending on the file size.
