Extract Audio from Video

Save a video's audio as MP3, WAV or a supported original audio format. Select a time range and check the output before downloading.

Video to Audio Converter Features

MP3, Lossless, or WAV

Convert video to MP3 for universal playback, copy the original audio track with zero quality loss, or export WAV for editing.

Extract Any Section

Drag the selection handles to grab just the part you need — a chorus, a quote, or the full soundtrack.

Lossless Stream Copy

In original-format mode the audio stream is copied bit-for-bit without re-encoding, so extraction finishes in seconds.

How to Extract Audio from a Video

1

Upload your video

Select an MP4, WebM or MOV video file. A preview player appears so you can listen to the original sound.

2

Choose the section

The whole video is selected by default. Drag the handles on the selection track to extract only a specific part.

3

Pick the output format

Choose MP3 for compatibility, the original format for a lossless copy, or WAV for further editing.

4

Extract and download

Click extract. Processing happens in your browser; preview the audio and download it when done.

Tips for Extracting Audio from Video

Preview before extracting

Play the video first — what you hear is exactly what you get, so scrub to check the section you plan to extract.

Use original format for speed and quality

The lossless copy mode skips re-encoding entirely: it is both the fastest option and the only one with zero quality loss.

Pick MP3 for compatibility

MP3 plays on virtually every device and app. Choose it when you need to share the file or upload it somewhere.

Trim before extracting

Extracting only the section you need produces a smaller file and finishes faster than cutting afterwards.

WAV for editing

If the audio goes into an editor or DAW next, export WAV so later processing does not stack compression artifacts.

Compress large videos first

Files up to 500 MB work on desktop (200 MB on mobile), but extraction starts faster if you compress oversized videos first.
