Extract Audio from Video

Save the sound from your video as MP3 or WAV, then listen and download.

Your video stays on this device.

How to extract a soundtrack

1

Choose a local video

Select one file containing the sound you want to save.

2

Choose MP3 or WAV

Pick the output format before processing; there are no bitrate or sample-rate controls.

3

Run the extraction

Extract the audio, then listen and download. You can cancel while it is processing.

4

Listen and download

Listen to the MP3 or WAV and download it. A silent MP4 is an optional, separate result.

Input compatibility

The video must contain readable audio. MP4, MOV and WebM can carry different codecs; an extension alone does not guarantee success. The page may load an additional local processor for unsupported paths.

Example: keep the sound from a three-minute interview

Choose MP3 for a listening copy, or WAV to continue editing. The result includes the interview’s existing music and room noise. If you only need one answer, trim the video first, or use Audio Cutter on the extracted file.

For vocals and instrumental music as separate tracks, use Vocal Remover. Extraction here separates sound from picture; it does not split the sounds within the recording. Browse all free tools.

Audio extraction questions

Is the audio extractor free?

Yes. No account or credits are required. Save your downloads before leaving the page.

Does my video leave the device?

No. Processing runs locally. Some inputs need an extra processor download, but that downloads code to your browser rather than uploading the video.

Why might a video fail to extract?

It may have no audio track, an unsupported codec or insufficient available memory. An automatic fallback covers some decoding or conversion limitations, but cannot create sound that was never recorded.

Is there a file-size or duration limit?

There is no fixed cap in this tool. Browser support, device memory and the size of decoded audio constrain successful processing. A short source is a useful first check.

Should I choose MP3 or WAV?

MP3 uses lossy compression and is usually practical for sharing. WAV stores decoded audio without compression, useful for editing but often much larger. Neither restores detail already missing from the source. There are no selectable quality settings.

Can I extract only a section or isolate the voice?

This page extracts the whole soundtrack, without a time-range or track selector. Speech, music and noise already mixed together remain together. It does not separate vocals, remove background noise or transcribe speech.

Can I also save a video without sound?

Yes. After extracting the audio, choose Save a silent video too. This optional action creates an MP4 without sound. If it fails or you cancel it, the extracted audio remains available.
