Extract Audio from Video

Pull the audio track out of any video file — save as MP3 or WAV. No upload, no server.

How to use

  1. Upload a video file (MP4, WebM or MOV, up to 100 MB).
  2. Choose the output format: MP3 for a compressed file, WAV for lossless audio.
  3. Click Extract — listen to a preview and download the audio file.

About this tool

This tool strips the video track from a file and saves only the audio. You can choose MP3 (192 kbps, good balance of size and quality) or WAV (lossless, much larger). The extraction runs entirely in your browser via ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly.

No data leaves your device. The first use downloads the ffmpeg engine (~31 MB), which your browser caches for future visits. After that, the extraction itself is fast — typically a few seconds for a short clip.

Common uses: extracting a podcast segment from a video recording, saving a music track from a video clip, or converting a voice memo recorded as video into an audio-only file for easier sharing.

Frequently asked questions

Does my video leave my browser?

No. Everything is processed locally.

What quality is the MP3?

192 kbps — a good balance. For higher quality, choose WAV (lossless).

Can I extract audio from a YouTube video?

Not directly — you would need to download the video first. This tool works with files on your device.

Why is the WAV file so much larger?

WAV is uncompressed audio. A 3-minute track is about 30 MB in WAV versus 4 MB in MP3.
