Remove the audio from a video online

Strip the audio track from a video (MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV) without re-encoding the picture, directly in your browser — fast, with zero loss of visual quality.

Processed on your device via WebAssembly. Nothing is sent to any server.

Copies the video stream as-is, without re-encoding it, and simply discards the audio track. Since the video isn't re-encoded, the process is much faster than a normal conversion and introduces no visual quality loss whatsoever. Because there's no re-encoding, the result depends on your browser being able to repackage that specific video codec inside an MP4: most MP4, MOV, WEBM and MKV files work fine, but some less common combinations (for example, a WEBM using the VP8 video codec) may not be compatible with the MP4 output; when that happens, the tool shows an error instead of producing a broken file.

Use cases

  • Remove unwanted background music or audio before adding your own soundtrack.
  • Create a silent video to use as a higher-quality GIF alternative.
  • Mute a screen recording that has no useful audio.

Technical details

Uses ffmpeg.wasm with -c:v copy (stream copy, no re-encode) and -an (no audio), instead of the full decode-and-re-encode pipeline that format-conversion tools use.

Frequently asked questions

Does it lose picture quality?

No — the video is copied without re-encoding, so the picture stays exactly the same as in the original file.

Is it faster than a normal conversion?

Yes, considerably: since the video isn't re-encoded, the process only has to read and repackage the data, not decompress and recompress every frame.
