Remove Audio From a Video
Strip the audio track without touching the picture.
Strip the sound out of a video and keep the picture exactly as it is, without re-encoding. Free, instant for most files, and nothing is uploaded.
What this tool is for
For when the picture is fine and the sound is not: background conversation, copyrighted music that would get the upload blocked, or a screen recording that caught more of the room than you intended.
Worth knowing
The video stream is copied untouched, so this is instant and loses no quality. The file keeps its original format.
Nothing else changes
The picture is copied exactly as it was, without re-encoding, so the result looks identical and the job is almost instant even for long videos.
Replacing the sound instead
To put music or a voiceover in place of the original sound, use Add or Replace Audio, which can also mix the new sound with the old.
How to use it
- Add your files. Drop them on the page or choose them. They stay on your device.
- Set the output format and quality. The defaults suit most files.
- Press convert and save the results, individually or as one ZIP.
Questions
Does muting re-encode the video?
No. The picture is copied through untouched and the audio track is simply left out, so it is nearly instant and the video quality is bit-for-bit identical.
Why not just turn the volume down?
Because the sound is still in the file. Anyone who downloads it can turn it back up, and automated copyright matching will still hear the music. Removing the track removes it.
Can I mute only part of the video?
Not here; this removes the track entirely. Silencing a section means trimming the clip into parts and muting the one you want.
Will the file get smaller?
A little. Audio is usually a small share of a video file, so expect to save a few per cent rather than a noticeable amount.
