How to Extract Audio from a Video (and Save It as MP3)

August 30, 2026

When you need just the sound

Sometimes the video part isn't the point. You recorded a lecture, a podcast-style conversation, a voice memo as a video, or a song playing in the background of a clip, and what you actually want afterward is the audio on its own, as a normal MP3 you can play anywhere.

How to pull the audio out

FileWizy's audio extractor does exactly this: drop in a video file and it strips out the audio track and gives you back an MP3, with the video itself discarded. It works with any common video format and runs entirely in your browser, so the file is never uploaded anywhere.

Cleaning it up afterward

If the extracted audio came from a phone recording and sounds quiet or muffled, FileWizy's audio enhancer can normalize the volume and apply a quick EQ pass tuned for voice or music. And if you only need part of the recording, the audio trimmer lets you cut it down to the exact section you want, before or after extracting.

A quick note on rights

Extracting audio from a video you don't own the rights to, like pulling the soundtrack off someone else's video, isn't something this tool exists to enable responsibly; it's meant for your own recordings, interviews, voice memos and similar content.
