Remove Audio From Video

Drop in a video and download a silent copy of it. Every frame of picture is kept and the audio track is simply never written.

Drop a video here to mute it

MP4, MOV or WebM — whatever your browser can play. The file is opened straight from your device and never uploaded, so there is no size limit and nothing to wait in line for.

How it works

How to remove audio from a video?

  1. Open your video

    Drag a file onto the box or pick one from your device. It is read straight off your disk, so there is no upload bar and no file-size ceiling.

  2. Check what you are losing

    Play the preview with sound. That is the audio about to go — the copy you download keeps every frame of picture and none of it.

  3. Press "Remove audio"

    The video is written without an audio track. At the Source resolution the picture is copied across rather than re-encoded, so it is near-instant and loses nothing.

  4. Download the silent copy

    The file saves as "yourvideo-muted.mp4". Your original is untouched on disk, and the new file has no audio stream at all — not a quiet one.

Why in-browser

Why people mute a video

Replace the soundtrack

Strip the original audio before adding a trending sound in Instagram, TikTok or CapCut, so the two tracks do not fight each other.

Avoid a copyright claim

Background music picked up while filming is the most common reason a Reel or Short gets muted or blocked. Removing it before you post avoids the strike.

Cut unwanted background noise

Wind, chatter, a running tap, someone saying something they would rather you did not publish — silence is often the fastest fix.

Make the file smaller

Dropping the audio track shaves a few percent off the size, and the resolution options here take off considerably more if you need it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is removing audio from a video actually free?

Yes — no watermark on the file, no account, no limit on how many videos you mute.

Does my video get uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read straight off your disk and processed by your own browser, so no copy of the video reaches a server.

What formats can I use, and what do I get back?

MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, AVI and MKV open, as long as your browser can decode them — some MOV and MKV files use codecs browsers do not ship, and MP4 (H.264) is the safest bet. The download is always an MP4 with the audio track gone entirely, not just silenced.

Does removing the audio reduce the video quality?

Not at the Source resolution — the picture packets are copied into the new file rather than decoded and re-encoded, so the frame comes out identical to the original. Picking a lower resolution turns it into a real transcode, at whichever size you chose.

Is there a file size limit?

No fixed one. Because the file never leaves your device, there is no server quota — a long or high-resolution video is limited only by your own hardware.

Which browsers does it work in?

Chrome and Edge 94+, Safari 16.4+ and Firefox 130+ — the browsers with WebCodecs, the API that writes the new file. The page says so upfront on anything older, rather than failing partway through.
