Extract audio from a video as MP3

Free, private, in-browser audio extraction — nothing leaves your device. Drop in a video and save its audio track as an MP3 without uploading the source file.

How audio extraction works here

This tool pulls the audio track out of a video and saves it as an audio file using in-browser ffmpeg. Your video is processed on your device and never uploaded. The extracted audio matches the source — pulling it out doesn't reduce quality, but it can't improve on what's already in the file.

When to extract audio

  • Interviews & lectures: keep just the audio from a recorded talk or meeting.
  • Podcasts & voice memos: save a spoken recording for listening.
  • Music & sound: grab an audio clip from a video.
  • Listen on the go: make an audio-only version to play without watching.

About audio formats

MP3 is the most widely compatible audio format and plays on essentially anything. Remember that extraction is limited by the source: if the video's audio is low quality, the extracted file will be too — there's no way to add clarity that wasn't recorded. Because only the sound is kept, the resulting file is far smaller than the original video, which makes it easy to store, share, or drop into a playlist.

Frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

Will the audio sound worse than the video?

No — it matches the video's original audio. It simply can't be better than the source.

Why does it run best on a computer?

Processing video uses more memory than a phone typically has to spare.
