Key Features
MP3, WAV, and OGG Output
Extract to the format you need. MP3 for universal compatibility, WAV for lossless uncompressed audio, OGG for open-format web use.
Hardware-Accelerated Decoding
Video decoding uses the WebCodecs API for GPU-assisted processing, making extraction fast even for large video files.
Adjustable Bitrate
Choose 128kbps for standard quality, 192kbps for better quality, or 320kbps for near-lossless MP3 output.
No Upload Required
Your video file never leaves your device. All processing is done locally in the browser.
Complete Privacy
Video files are processed entirely in your browser. No data is transmitted to any server at any point during extraction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which format should I choose?
MP3 is the right choice for almost all use cases — universally supported, small file size, good quality at 192kbps or higher. WAV is lossless but produces very large files, useful for audio editing workflows. OGG is a good open-format alternative to MP3 for web use.
What bitrate should I use for MP3?
128kbps is fine for speech, podcasts, and casual listening. 192kbps is a good balance for music. 320kbps is near-lossless and suitable for high-quality music archiving.
What if the video has no audio track?
The tool will throw an error if no audio track is found. This can happen with silent videos, screencasts without audio, or certain video formats that use unsupported audio codecs.
Is there a file size limit?
500MB. Audio extraction is typically fast regardless of video length since only the audio stream needs to be re-encoded.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome 94+ and Edge 94+ are fully supported. Firefox has partial WebCodecs support. Chrome is recommended.
