How to Extract the Audio from a Video

Turn a lecture, concert, interview or music video into an audio file you can listen to anywhere. The video is processed in your browser, so even a large file does not have to be uploaded.

Your privacy is our mission. Most files are converted right in your browser and never leave your device. Only large files, or formats a browser cannot process, are sent to our server over an encrypted connection — they are never stored, never shared, and deleted as soon as your download is ready.

The Quick Way

Drop the video into the converter, choose MP3 (or WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, Opus) and press Convert. The soundtrack is taken out and encoded in your browser; the audio file downloads when it is ready.

Which Audio Format to Choose

Format	Choose it when
MP3	The file should play on anything — phone, car, old player
M4A / AAC	It is for an iPhone or Apple Music; slightly better than MP3 at the same size
WAV	You will edit the audio; uncompressed, large
FLAC	You want lossless quality in half the size of WAV
Opus	It is speech and should be as small as possible

Trim, Normalise, Change the Bitrate

The audio editor on the conversion page lets you cut a part out, even out the loudness, and choose bitrate, sample rate and mono or stereo before converting. Conversions with these options run on the server; a plain extraction stays in the browser.

Supported Videos

MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, WebM, FLV, WMV, 3GP, TS, OGV and VOB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the whole video uploaded?

No. For a plain extraction the video is read from your disk by a converter running in the browser.

Which bitrate should I use for MP3?

128 kbps is fine for speech; 192 kbps or more for music.

Can I extract only a part of the audio?

Yes — set the start and end in the audio editor before converting.
