Remove Audio from Video Online

Drop a video on the page and press Remove audio: you get the same video back with the sound taken out. It is the quick fix for a clip with background chatter you do not want to share, a phone video with music that would get flagged when you post it, a screen recording where the microphone picked up the keyboard, or a short loop for a website or a presentation that should play silently. Whether you call it removing the sound, deleting the audio or muting a video, the result is the same: a silent copy of the clip. It plays in the page first, muted, so you see exactly what you are about to save. There are no settings to get wrong: one button removes the sound, and the result screen lets you rename the file before you download it.

Mute a Video Without Losing Quality

Most online tools that remove sound from a video decode every frame and compress the picture again, which takes as long as the clip and softens it a little each time. This one does not touch the picture. The video frames are copied from your file into the new one exactly as they are and only the sound track is left out, so the muted video has the same sharpness, the same frame rate and the same length as the original. Because nothing is recompressed, a long 4K recording is done in seconds rather than minutes, and a phone video that was filmed upright stays upright.

MP4, MOV and WebM

An MP4 comes back as an MP4 and a WebM as a WebM. A MOV from an iPhone or a camera is saved as an MP4: the picture inside is the same, only the file type changes, and MP4 plays on more devices. An MKV holding H.264 or HEVC video is saved as MP4 too, since WebM cannot hold that picture. When a video's picture cannot be copied into the new file as it is, the page tells you before you press the button and rewrites it frame by frame instead, which is slower and can change the quality slightly. If the video has no sound track at all, the page says so, and there is nothing to remove. Want different sound rather than none? Add audio to a video puts music, a song or a voice recording in its place.

Private by Design

The videos people mute are often the ones they would rather not upload anywhere: a family clip with voices in the background, a meeting recording, footage from work. Here the file never leaves your device. Your browser reads the video, writes the silent copy and hands it to you, with no server in between, no account and no watermark. On Chrome and Edge on a computer the finished file can be written straight to the folder you choose, so even a very large video does not have to fit in memory.

Frequently Asked Questions About Removing Audio from a Video

Does removing the sound lower the video quality?

No. The picture is copied into the new file frame for frame without being compressed again, so the muted video looks exactly like the original. The only exception is a video whose picture format cannot be copied into the output file, and the page tells you about that before you start.

Can I remove only the voice and keep the music?

No. This tool removes the whole sound track, voices and music together, and leaves the video silent. Separating a voice from music is a different job. If you want a track of your own instead of the original sound, the add audio tool puts music or a recording in its place.

Why did my MOV file come out as an MP4?

The silent copy is written as an MP4, which carries the same picture as the MOV and plays on more phones, computers and websites. The video inside is not recompressed, so the quality is the same.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. The video is opened and rewritten by your own browser, and the silent copy is saved straight to your device. Nothing is sent anywhere, so private recordings stay private.
