How to extract audio from a video
Quick answer: To extract audio from a video, add your video, trim if you need only part of it and press Export MP3.
- Add your video. Any common format, including iPhone .MOV files.
- Trim if you need only part of it. Set the start and end, or keep the whole thing.
- Press Export MP3. The audio is saved as a high-quality MP3.
Audio quality
The MP3 is encoded at high variable bit rate (about 190 kbps), which sounds the same as the original for speech and music. You can also raise the volume of quiet recordings or speed up a lecture before saving.
Private and free
Most online video tools upload your file, put it in a queue and add a watermark. Here FFmpeg, the engine used by professional video software, runs inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded, there's no watermark and no file-size fee. The engine (about 31 MB) downloads once and is then cached.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert only part of the video?
Yes. Set the start and end in the Trim tool before exporting.
Why does it say the video has no sound?
Some videos, like screen recordings without a microphone, have no audio track, so there's nothing to save.
Is it legal to extract audio?
For your own videos or content you have the rights to, yes. Respect copyright for anything else.
