Remove the audio from a video

Take the sound out of a clip while leaving the picture exactly as it was. Useful for background footage, for removing a conversation recorded by accident, or for a video going onto a page that should not make noise.

The video stream is copied rather than re-encoded, so this is close to instant and there is no quality loss whatsoever — only the audio track is dropped.

Because it runs on your device, a recording with something private in the audio never has to be uploaded to have that audio removed.

How to use it

  1. Add the video whose sound you want gone.
  2. Press Mute — the audio track is dropped and the video stream is copied untouched.
  3. Download the silent video.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using your own device’s processing power. The file never leaves your computer or phone, which is why it also works when your connection drops.
Does muting reduce the quality?
No. The picture is copied untouched; only the audio track is removed, so the file also gets a little smaller.
Can I get the audio back?
Not from the muted file — keep the original. To save the audio separately, extract it to MP3 first.
