How it works
Getting the sound out of a video is one of the most common media jobs there is: the audio from a lecture, a podcast recorded on camera, music from a performance you filmed. The file is usually large, which makes uploading it the slowest part of a job that is otherwise instant.
Choosing a format
MP3 plays on everything and is the right default. M4A (AAC) is slightly more efficient at the same bitrate and is what Apple devices prefer. WAV is uncompressed — perfect quality, enormous files, useful only if you are editing further. FLAC is lossless like WAV but roughly half the size.
A note on quality
Extracting cannot improve on what is already in the video. If a clip's soundtrack is a 96 kbps AAC track, saving it as a 320 kbps MP3 does not recover detail that was never there — it just makes a bigger file. Match the bitrate roughly to the source and you lose nothing worth hearing.
Videos with no soundtrack
Some clips, particularly screen recordings and drone footage, have no audio track at all. There is nothing to extract, and you will be told rather than handed an empty file.
It runs on your device
The video is decoded in the page. Nothing is uploaded, which for a large clip is usually the difference between seconds and many minutes.
Extract audio from a video — questions
Which format should I pick?
MP3 for general use, M4A on Apple devices, FLAC if you want lossless, WAV only if you are editing further.
Will a higher bitrate improve the quality?
No. It cannot add detail the video's soundtrack never had; it only makes the file bigger.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The extraction runs in your browser.
What if the video has no sound?
There is nothing to extract, and the tool says so instead of producing an empty file.
