Video to Audio Converter

Pull the soundtrack out of any video as MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC and more.

Extract audio from any video as MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC or OGG, at the bitrate you choose. Free, no sign-up, and the video never leaves your device.

What Video to Audio Converter is for

For when you want what was said rather than what was shown: a lecture, an interview, a podcast recorded to video, or a piece of music you only have as a clip.

Picking the format

MP3 for anything you will listen to or share. M4A for Apple devices. WAV or FLAC if you are going to edit the audio. OPUS for speech at the smallest size.

Picking the bitrate

The sound in a video is already compressed, so going higher than the original does not help. 128 kbps is plenty for speech, 192 for music. Trim the start and end in the same step.

Several audio tracks

Films and recordings with more than one audio track have the first one extracted, which is normally the main language.

How to use it

  1. Add your files. Drop them on the page or choose them. They stay on your device.
  2. Set the output format and quality. The defaults suit most files.
  3. Press convert and save the results, individually or as one ZIP.

Questions

Does extracting audio lose quality?

The soundtrack inside a video is already compressed, and re-encoding it costs a little more. Choosing a higher bitrate, or a lossless target like WAV or FLAC, keeps that second loss to nothing.

What bitrate should I choose?

192 kbps MP3 is transparent for most listeners. Speech is fine at 96 or even 64. Only go above 256 if the source was high quality to begin with, which for video audio it rarely is.

Can I take just part of the video?

Yes. The trim settings take a start and an end, so you can pull one song or one answer out of a long recording rather than the whole thing.

Which format should the audio be?

MP3 for compatibility with everything. M4A for better quality at the same size. WAV or FLAC if you are going to edit it afterwards.
