Interview recorded on your phone? Lecture saved as a video? The soundtrack is often the only part you need. Extracting it takes one upload.
Three steps
- Open Extract Audio from Video.
- Upload the video — MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM all work.
- Choose an output format and download the audio file.
For the common case of YouTube-sourced content, our MP4 to MP3 converter does the same job with format shortcuts on the front page.
Which output format?
| Format | Best for | File size |
|---|---|---|
| MP3 | Universal playback, podcasts | Small |
| M4A/AAC | Modern devices, better quality per MB | Smaller |
| WAV | Editing in Audition/Audacity, sampling | Large (uncompressed) |
| FLAC | Archival copies of music videos | Large (lossless) |
Default to MP3 at 192 kbps unless you have a specific reason not to — it plays everywhere and sounds indistinguishable from the source for spoken word.
What actually happens technically
The extraction demuxes the audio stream from the container and re-encodes it to your chosen codec. Two consequences worth knowing:
- Quality cannot improve. If the source carries 128 kbps AAC, that is your ceiling. Choose matching bitrates rather than inflating numbers.
- Video tracks are discarded, so files shrink dramatically — an hour-long lecture drops from hundreds of megabytes to tens.
Common questions
Can I extract just part of the audio? Yes — trim the video first with the video cutter, then extract; or extract everything and cut the audio with the audio cutter.
Why is my extracted audio silent? Some videos genuinely carry no audio track (timelapses, some dashcam loops). Our tool detects this and reports it instead of producing an empty file.
Does it work with multiple audio tracks? MKV files sometimes hold several language tracks; the primary track is extracted by default.
