How to extract audio from a video
- Choose a video or drag it onto the box. Phone videos, camera clips, screen recordings, and older formats all work.
- Pick a format. MP3 plays everywhere, M4A is great for Apple devices, and WAV or FLAC keep full quality for editing.
- Leave Copy the original audio on when it's offered. It's instant and loses nothing.
- Optionally trim to just the part you need, level the loudness, or switch to mono for voice recordings.
- Tap Extract audio, listen to the preview, and download.
When it comes in handy
- Podcasts and interviews. Turn a filmed interview into an audio episode.
- Music and voiceovers. Save the soundtrack from your own video to reuse in another edit.
- Transcription. Make a small mono voice file to upload to a transcription service.
- Live sets and events. Keep the audio from a performance or DJ set you recorded on video.
Frequently asked questions
Which audio format should I choose?
MP3 works on every device and app. M4A (AAC) sounds a little better at the same size and is the native format on iPhones and Macs. WAV and FLAC keep full quality for editing, with FLAC about half the size of WAV. OGG and Opus are efficient open formats, and Opus is excellent for voice.
What does "copy the original audio" mean?
Most phone and camera videos store their sound as AAC. If you choose M4A, the tool can copy that sound into the new file exactly as it is, which is instant and lossless. Converting to another format means re-encoding, which takes a moment and, for MP3, OGG, and Opus, compresses the sound again.
What is loudness leveling?
It evens out the overall volume to a standard level of -14 LUFS, which is what YouTube, Spotify, and most streaming services aim for. Quiet recordings come up and loud ones come down, so your audio sits at a consistent volume next to other content.
Can I extract audio from a YouTube video?
This tool works with video files on your device. Only download and reuse audio from videos you own or have permission to use.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The audio is extracted in your browser, and your video never leaves your device.
