Upload the video file and click Strip - the video downloads with no audio track, and the picture is not re-encoded.
The video stream is kept byte-for-byte, so there is no quality loss and no wait for re-encoding. If you need a different file format instead, use the matching video-converter tool for that direction.
Want a smaller file too? Because the picture is kept as-is here, run the result through the video compressor to shrink it.
Remove Audio from Video
Remove the audio track from a video and keep everything else - picture, resolution, and file format stay exactly as they were. It is a single-click job on the whole file, done right in this browser tab.
What gets removed and what stays
The audio track is dropped in full while the video stream is copied byte-for-byte, with no re-encode, so the operation itself adds no quality loss. The output uses the same container and codec as the input and keeps the original extension, with a -no-audio suffix added to the filename. This mode removes the sound all at once; it does not selectively mute or duck one part of the clip. Because nothing is re-encoded, there are no extra settings and no start or end time fields to set for this mode.
Where the video is processed
Everything runs inside this browser tab through FFmpeg.wasm, self-hosted here and the same engine that powers the video trimmer on this site. Your file is read, processed, and saved back to your device locally; it is never uploaded to a server. Nothing is installed, no account is required, and the file is not kept once you leave the page. The only network request is the one-time load of the tool's own script and engine files.
Which files work, and what happens when one does not
- Accepted: a real video container - something like MP4, MOV, or WebM that actually holds a video track.
- Rejected before processing: audio-only files such as MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG, FLAC, or M4A get a clear error, because once the sound is removed there would be nothing left to keep.
- Fails on read: DRM-protected or encrypted video. If a file only plays inside a locked-down app or store, the tool fails on it rather than silently stripping a track it cannot read.
When a file that looks like video is corrupted underneath its extension, FFmpeg's own error message is shown inside a red result panel headed "Remove Audio from Video:", so the specific reason processing stopped is visible rather than a generic failure notice; if no file object arrives at all, the same red panel reads "No file received." instead. Neither case produces a download, and the result area stays empty until a file is stripped successfully. Even on success nothing downloads by itself - a "Download" link appears labeled with the exact output filename, and it has to be clicked by hand.
Why the first file takes longer than the next one
The first run in a browser tab downloads FFmpeg.wasm, the WebAssembly engine that does the actual audio removal. The status line says exactly that: "Loading FFmpeg.wasm (~31MB, one-time)...". Every file processed after that, in the same tab, skips the download because the engine is already loaded in memory, so only the first file waits on it. Once removal starts, that loading text is replaced by a live percentage, such as "Removing audio: 42%", so there is something to watch instead of a blank status line. Closing the tab or reloading the page clears the loaded engine, so the fetch happens again on the next visit; how much of it comes from the browser's own cache depends on the browser, not on this tool.
When to trim or convert the video instead
Stripping audio leaves the length and format of the video alone. To shorten a clip, cut out a section, or keep only part of it, use a trimmer rather than this tool. To change the video into a different format, use the matching converter, because this mode does not re-encode to a new format.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Remove Audio from Video do?
Strip the audio track from a video file, right in the browser.
When should I reach for remove audio from video?
The output keeps the original video quality, resolution, and container format; only the audio track is dropped.
What complementary tools work well alongside remove audio from video?
To trim or cut the video instead of removing its audio, see the related-tools section.
Why does the first file take longer than the next one?
The tool downloads the FFmpeg.wasm engine (about 31MB) the first time it runs in a browser tab. Every file processed after that in the same tab skips the download and starts removing audio right away.
What happens if the video file is corrupted or not really a video?
The tool shows FFmpeg's own error message in a red panel instead of failing silently or hanging. Nothing downloads until a file is actually processed successfully.
Does the finished file download automatically?
No. A Download link appears labeled with the exact output filename once processing finishes, and it has to be clicked by hand.
