How to extract audio from a video online

  1. Add your video

    Drag in the video whose soundtrack you want, or click to browse. MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and AVI all work.

  2. Choose an audio format

    Pick MP3 for a small file that plays everywhere, WAV for lossless editing, or M4A for AAC quality at a modest size.

  3. Extract

    Click Extract audio. The tool strips the video track locally in your browser; the first run downloads the audio engine once per session.

  4. Preview and download

    Play the result on the page to check it, then click Download to save the audio file.

Why use this tool

Three output formats

MP3 uses a high-quality variable bitrate, WAV is uncompressed PCM, and M4A is AAC at 192 kbps, covering sharing, editing, and Apple devices.

Takes any common video

MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, and M4V all work, as long as the file actually contains an audio track.

Listen before you save

The extracted audio plays right on the page with its format and size shown, so you can verify it before downloading.

No extra quality loss with WAV

WAV writes the decoded audio as-is, so the extraction step itself loses nothing. MP3 and M4A re-encode at settings that are hard to distinguish by ear.

Extraction stays on your device

All the work happens inside your browser, so the video is never sent to any server.

No cost, no catches

No account, no watermark, and no cap on how many videos you process.

About this tool

This tool pulls the audio track out of a video file and saves it as MP3, WAV, or M4A. The work is done entirely inside your browser: the video track is discarded and the sound is written to your chosen format. MP3 uses a high-quality variable bitrate setting, M4A uses AAC at 192 kbps, and WAV is uncompressed PCM, so nothing extra is lost on the way out.

Common jobs include saving the music from a concert recording, turning a lecture or meeting video into a podcast-style file, and grabbing dialogue for transcription. A typical clip extracts in seconds; feature-length recordings take a few minutes and are easier on a desktop browser, since the whole file is processed in memory. The result plays right on the page, so you can confirm it is the right take before downloading.

Nothing is uploaded at any point, which matters when the recording is a private meeting or an unreleased track. If you only need the sound from part of a video, trim the video first and extract from the clip. For the opposite job, removing the sound and keeping the picture, use mute video, and if the source file is in an awkward container, convert it to MP4 first.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extract audio from a video?
Drop a video onto the tool or click to browse, pick an output format (MP3, WAV, or M4A), then click Extract audio. The tool strips out the video track and saves just the sound. You can play the result right on the page, then click Download to save it.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The entire extraction runs locally in your browser. Your video never leaves your device, is never uploaded, and is not stored or logged anywhere. The first time you run it, the tool downloads the audio engine once; after that it stays ready for the rest of your session.
Which format should I choose: MP3, WAV, or M4A?
MP3 is the safe default. It plays everywhere and keeps the file small, which is ideal for music, podcasts, and sharing. WAV is uncompressed and lossless, so it is the largest file but loses nothing, which is handy for editing. M4A uses AAC and is a good balance of small size and quality, and is the natural choice on Apple devices. When in doubt, use MP3.
Which video formats can I extract audio from?
You can drop in MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, M4V, and most other common video files. As long as the video has an audio track, the tool can pull it out into your chosen format.
Is there a limit on video size or length?
There is no fixed limit, but because everything runs in your browser using your device memory, very large or very long videos take longer and use more RAM. A typical clip extracts in a few seconds; long, high-resolution videos can take longer. For very large files, a desktop browser handles them more comfortably than a phone.
Will extracting reduce the audio quality?
It depends on the format. WAV is lossless, so it preserves the original audio exactly. MP3 and M4A re-encode the sound at a high quality setting, which is hard to tell apart from the original for everyday listening while keeping the file much smaller. If you need a perfect copy for editing, choose WAV.
