A video-to-audio converter extracts just the soundtrack from a video file and saves it as a standalone MP3, discarding the visual portion entirely. This is exactly what you need when you only care about the audio — a podcast recorded on video, a lecture, a music performance, or a voiceover.

Upload your video, choose an audio quality (bitrate), and the tool strips the video stream and encodes the remaining audio track into MP3 using the LAME encoder inside FFmpeg's WebAssembly build. Higher bitrates preserve more audio detail at the cost of a larger file size, which matters most for music; for speech-only content, the Standard setting is usually indistinguishable from High.

Because the extraction happens entirely in-browser, there's no need to sign up, no watermark added to the audio, and no limit on how many videos you can convert. It also means you can safely process private recordings, interviews, or unreleased music without worrying about them touching a third-party server.

Typical uses include pulling the audio from a recorded Zoom or Teams call to listen to later, converting a music video into a playable MP3 for offline listening, or extracting narration from a tutorial video to repurpose as a podcast episode.

If your video has multiple audio tracks or embedded subtitles, only the primary audio track is extracted; visual content, subtitles, and any secondary tracks are discarded during this process.

MP3 remains the most universally compatible audio format, playable on virtually every phone, car stereo, computer, and portable player made in the last two decades, which is why we export to MP3 by default rather than newer but less universally supported formats like AAC or Opus.

If your source video already has fairly low-quality audio — for example, a phone recording of a live talk — choosing a higher bitrate like 320kbps won't add detail that wasn't captured in the first place. In that case, the Standard setting is perfectly sufficient and will keep your resulting file noticeably smaller without any audible difference.

For podcasters and educators, this tool offers a quick way to repurpose video content into an audio-only format that's easier to distribute through podcast platforms, which almost universally expect MP3 rather than video files. Simply extract the audio here, then upload the resulting MP3 directly to your podcast hosting platform of choice without any additional conversion step required.

Keep in mind that video files recorded in noisy environments will carry that same background noise into the extracted MP3, since this tool only separates video from audio — it does not perform any noise reduction, so for the cleanest results, start from the clearest-sounding source video available.

Give it a try any time you only need the sound and not the picture.

The result is a clean, portable MP3 ready for any player, app, or podcast platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What audio format does this produce?

The output is always a standard MP3 file, compatible with virtually every device and media player.

Does this keep the original video quality?

This tool only extracts audio — the video portion is fully discarded, and only the sound is kept in the output file.

Can I extract audio from a MOV or WEBM file?

Yes, any common video format works as input; the output is always MP3.

Will the audio be watermarked?

No. The extracted MP3 is your own file with no added watermark or branding.
