How to take the audio from a video

This tool extracts the sound track of a video and saves it as a standalone MP3 file. People look for it in different ways (extract audio from video, take the audio from a video, extract sound or music from a video, convert video to MP3), but it is the same job: you keep the audio and leave the picture behind.

It is handy when the picture is not the point: a lecture or meeting you recorded on video, an interview, a voice memo, a podcast filmed for YouTube, or the music in your own clips. An MP3 is far lighter than the video it came from, plays on any phone, car stereo or speaker, and is easy to share or upload.

Everything runs inside your browser using your own device. Your video is never uploaded to a server and the original file is not changed. There is no account to create and nothing to install.

A few tips: if you only need part of the recording, trim it first with the video trimmer or cut the MP3 afterwards with the audio trimmer. If the sound is quiet or muffled, the audio enhancer can even out the volume, and the audio converter turns the MP3 into WAV, OGG or M4A. For the full walkthrough, read our complete guide to extracting audio from a video.

Only extract audio from videos you own or have permission to use, such as your own recordings.
