Extract Audio from Video
Pull the audio track out of any video. Upload a clip and download it as MP3 or M4A in seconds, with no editing software and no quality loss.
Extract Audio from Video
Upload a video, get its soundtrack as a standalone audio file.
Sometimes you only need the sound. A lecture you want to listen to on a commute, an interview headed for transcription, a song that only exists as a live video, the voiceover from a clip you are re-editing. This pulls the audio track straight out of the file, without screen recording, without re-recording off your speakers, and without opening an editing timeline.
How to extract audio from a video
- Upload your video. MP4, MOV, WebM and other common formats all work.
- Choose MP3 for a file that plays anywhere, or M4A for maximum fidelity.
- Download your audio file.
Features
- MP3 or M4A. MP3 for universal compatibility, M4A when you care about keeping every bit of quality.
- No re-recording. The audio is taken from the file itself, so you are not losing a generation by playing it out and capturing it again.
- Nothing to install. Runs in the browser. No editor, no command line, no ffmpeg.
- Original video untouched. You get a separate audio file back and your video stays exactly as it was.
MP3 or M4A: which to pick
MP3 is the safe default. It plays on everything, and for speech content the difference is inaudible.
M4A is the better choice when quality matters. Most MP4 videos already carry their audio as AAC, and M4A can carry that existing track across bit-for-bit rather than re-encoding it. That means genuinely no quality loss, where MP3 always re-encodes and always sheds a little. If you are pulling music, or the audio is going into something you will edit further, choose M4A.
FAQ
How do I extract audio from a video?
Upload the video and download the audio. There is no editing step. The tool reads the video’s existing audio track and writes it out as a separate file, which takes seconds rather than the length of the video.
How do I extract audio from a video on iPhone or Android?
This runs in the browser, so it works the same on a phone as on a desktop. Open the page on your device, upload the video from your camera roll or files, and download the audio back to the phone. No app to install on either platform.
Will I lose audio quality?
Not if you choose M4A, in the common case. Most MP4 files store audio as AAC, and M4A copies that track across without re-encoding it. MP3 re-encodes by design, so there is a small quality cost, though it is rarely noticeable for speech.
What if the video has no sound?
The tool will tell you rather than handing back a silent file. If a video has no audio track at all, there is nothing to extract.
Can I extract audio and then transcribe it?
Yes, and that is a common pairing. Take the audio file from here and run it through Transcribe Audio to Text to get a written transcript.
How long can the video be?
Longer videos take proportionally longer to process but there is no editing overhead, so even a multi-hour recording is a single upload and download rather than a session in an editor.
