Extract audio from video

Pull just the soundtrack out of any video — music clips, lectures, gameplay, screen recordings — and choose the audio format you need. Conversion happens in your browser — the file never touches a server.

A video file like an MP4, MOV, or WebM is really a container: a picture stream and a separate sound stream packed side by side. Extracting the audio means decoding just that sound stream and saving it on its own, so you end up with a plain music or voice file instead of a video you have to open in a player. It's the quickest way to turn a video into a listenable, shareable audio file when you don't need the visuals at all — no video editor and no re-recording required.

Creators reach for this whenever the sound they want is trapped inside a video wrapper. Maybe you exported a Suno track as a share video with an animated cover, filmed a jam on your phone, or captured a talk in a screen recording — the audio is in there, just not in a form you can drop into a playlist, a DAW, or an analyzer. Because the whole conversion runs locally in your browser, unreleased songs and private recordings stay on your device, and you can pick MP3 for fast sharing or WAV/FLAC when you plan to keep editing.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop the video file (MP4, MOV, WebM…).

  2. 2

    Pick an output format — MP3 is the default; WAV, M4A, OGG, and FLAC are in the picker.

  3. 3

    Click extract and download the audio.

When to use it

  • You exported a finished song from Suno as a share video (or screen-recorded it playing back) and want the raw MP3 or WAV to upload through DistroKid or add to a personal playlist.
  • You filmed a live set, open mic, or rehearsal on your iPhone as a .MOV and only need the sound to send to bandmates or drop into GarageBand.
  • You captured a lecture, interview, or product demo in a Zoom, Loom, or OBS recording and want an audio-only file for a podcast feed or a transcript.

FAQ

Can I extract to a lossless format like FLAC or WAV?

Yes, but most video soundtracks are already lossy (AAC), so exporting to FLAC or WAV won't add quality — it just repackages the same audio in a bigger file. Pick lossless only if the source track is lossless.

Does this work on any video, including online ones?

Any file you have locally with an audio track. It doesn't pull from URLs or streaming sites, and DRM-protected videos can't be converted — bring the file itself.

Does extracting the audio delete or mute the original video?

No. This creates a brand-new audio file and leaves your source video completely untouched. If what you actually want is the video with its sound removed, use the mute-video tool instead — extracting only copies the audio out, it never changes the original.

Is there a file-size or length limit since nothing gets uploaded?

There's no server-side cap, because the whole job runs in your browser's own memory. That memory is the real limit: a short clip is near-instant, but a long 4K recording can be slow or run out of RAM, especially on phones, so extracting big files on a laptop or desktop is more reliable.

Can I grab just one part of the video's audio instead of the whole track?

This tool pulls the entire audio stream in a single pass. To keep only a section, extract the full track first and then trim it down with the MP3 Cutter — cutting the finished audio is more precise than trying to time the extraction itself.
