Extract Audio from Video, Free & Private

How this audio extractor works

Extracting audio means taking the sound out of a video and saving it as its own file. VimCut drops the picture, then encodes the soundtrack to MP3 at 192 kbps, which is a solid balance of quality and file size for music, podcasts and voice. Your original video is not changed.

The conversion runs on WebAssembly (ffmpeg.wasm) in your browser, so the file stays on your device. The output is always an MP3, whatever format the video was in. Long videos take longer because the whole soundtrack is processed. You can preview the extracted audio before you download it. The picture is dropped, so only the sound is in the file, and your original video stays on your device unchanged. A progress bar shows how far along the conversion is, and the result is a standalone file you can keep or share.

Tips and related tools

If your file is an MP4 and you want a page made for that, use MP4 to MP3, which does the same job. To keep the video but remove its sound instead, use Mute Video. Because the file is loaded into memory, VimCut warns from about 500 MB and blocks files above 2 GB, with lower limits on phones.
