Quick answer: To extract WMA audio from NUT video, add the NUT file to the iHateFiles NUT to WMA converter and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. Lifts the soundtrack out of the video and saves it as WMA. The picture is discarded; nothing is re-recorded.
Should you convert NUT to WMA?
Worth doing when you want the soundtrack of a NUT on its own: a podcast, an interview, a piece of music from a video. Choose a higher bitrate than you think you need, because the WMA is encoded from the video's audio rather than from a master.
Taking the sound out of NUT
A NUT file holds a picture track and a sound track side by side. This keeps the sound and discards the picture, so what you get is the WMA on its own at whatever bitrate you choose. Nothing about the NUT original is altered.

What usually goes wrong
About the NUT. If you have a NUT file it almost certainly came out of a script using FFmpeg defaults, rather than from any deliberate choice.
About the WMA. A WMA bought from an early music store may be DRM-locked, and no conversion can lawfully unlock it. A WMA you ripped yourself converts without any trouble.
How to convert NUT to WMA
- Add your NUT file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to WMA.
- Press convert and the WMA file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert NUT to WMA?
Open this page, add your NUT file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this NUT to WMA converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Does extracting audio reduce the quality?
The soundtrack is re-encoded to WMA, so there is one generation of loss at the bitrate you choose. Pick a higher bitrate, or a lossless target like WAV or FLAC, to avoid it.
Can I convert several NUT files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
