Video to Audio Extractor

A Video to Audio Extractor is an online tool that separates the audio track from a video file, allowing you to save it as a standalone audio file (like MP3 or WAV). This is perfect for extracting music from videos, saving podcast audio, or grabbing soundtracks from your favorite clips — all without installing any software.

Our tool supports all major video formats, including MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, FLV, WMV, M4V, 3GP, and OGG. As long as your browser can play the video file, the audio can be extracted. For best compatibility, we recommend MP4 files with H.264 video and AAC audio.

You can export your extracted audio in three formats: MP3 (widely compatible, good compression), WAV (lossless, uncompressed, best quality), and WebM Audio (modern format with excellent compression). MP3 at 320 kbps is the recommended choice for most users seeking a balance of quality and file size.

The tool uses your browser's built-in media processing capabilities. When you upload a video, it's loaded into a hidden video player. The audio track is then captured and re-encoded into your chosen format using advanced Web APIs. Everything happens locally on your device — no data is ever sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy.

While there's no hard limit, we recommend files under 500 MB for optimal performance. Larger files may take longer to process depending on your device's capabilities and available memory. For very long videos (over 1 hour), consider trimming the video first for faster extraction.

When using WAV format, the audio is lossless and preserves the exact quality of the original. For MP3 at 320 kbps, the quality loss is virtually imperceptible to most listeners. Lower MP3 bitrates (128-192 kbps) will reduce file size but may introduce minor compression artifacts.

This tool works with local video files on your device. It cannot directly extract audio from YouTube, Vimeo, or other streaming platforms due to browser security restrictions. You would need to have the video file downloaded to your computer first.

Yes, it's completely free! There are no hidden costs, no premium tiers, and no limitations on how many files you can process. Since all processing happens in your browser, we don't incur server costs for conversion — so we can keep it free for everyone, forever.

Online extractors offer several advantages: no installation required, works on any operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS), always up-to-date, and completely private since files never leave your device. Plus, you can use it on any computer with a modern browser — no admin permissions needed.

The tool works best on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera. Safari has some limitations with audio format options. We recommend using the latest version of Chrome or Edge for the best experience and full format support including MP3 encoding.
