Extract audio track from video files. Convert video to audio format.
Supports MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, etc.
Need just the audio from a video? This free online Video to Audio Extractor lets you pull the audio track out of any video file and save it as MP3, WAV, or OGG — right in your browser, with no software to install. Whether you're ripping a soundtrack, saving a podcast recording, or archiving a lecture, this tool gets it done in seconds.
A video to audio extractor is a tool that separates the audio track from a video file and saves it as a standalone audio file. Video files like MP4, WebM, MOV, and AVI contain both a video stream and an audio stream bundled together. This tool isolates the audio stream and lets you download it independently.
This is useful in countless situations — from content creators who want to repurpose video content as a podcast, to students who want to listen to a recorded lecture on the go, to musicians who want to extract a backing track from a video performance. Instead of downloading heavy desktop software, you can do it instantly in your browser.
The tool supports multiple output formats and quality levels, and even lets you extract just a specific time range from the video — so you don't have to extract the entire file if you only need a clip.
For the best audio quality, choose WAV format if you plan to edit the extracted audio further in a DAW or audio editor. WAV is uncompressed, meaning no quality is lost during extraction. If file size matters more than quality — for example, for a podcast or voice note — MP3 at Medium quality (128 kbps) is a great balance between size and clarity.
When using the time range feature, enter the start and end times in seconds. For example, to extract from the 1-minute mark to the 2-minute mark, enter 60 as the start and 120 as the end. This is especially handy for long videos where you only need a short clip. Leave both fields empty to extract the full audio track.
If your video has no audio track (e.g., a screen recording with no microphone), the extraction will still complete but the resulting file will be silent. Always preview the extracted audio before downloading to confirm it contains the sound you expect.
Unlike desktop software that requires installation, updates, and often a paid license, this tool works instantly in any modern browser. There's no sign-up, no file size limit imposed by a server, and no waiting for uploads to complete — because everything runs locally on your machine using the Web Audio API.
The tool is designed to be straightforward and distraction-free. You select a file, choose your settings, and extract. No ads interrupting the workflow, no confusing menus, and no upsells. It's built for people who just need to get the job done quickly and move on.
Your privacy is our priority. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No files, data, or inputs are ever uploaded to any server. Everything stays on your device, making this tool completely safe to use with sensitive content.
The tool supports MP4, WebM, and OGG — the formats supported by the HTML5 Web Audio API. For other formats like MOV or AVI, you may need to convert to MP4 first. The extracted audio is saved as a WAV file.
The audio is extracted from the video's audio track without re-encoding, preserving the original quality. The output is a WAV file (lossless), so there is no additional quality loss from the extraction process.
This tool works with video files you upload from your device. It does not download or process online videos. To extract audio from a YouTube video, you would need to download the video file first (where legally permitted).
WAV is lossless — it preserves all audio data but produces larger files. MP3 is lossy — it compresses audio by removing some data, resulting in smaller files with slightly reduced quality. For archival, use WAV. For sharing or streaming, MP3 is more practical.
This tool extracts the full audio track. To get a specific segment, extract the full audio first, then use the Audio Trimmer tool to cut out the portion you need.
