How to Extract Audio from a Video

01

Upload a video file (MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, or MKV)

02

Choose output format — MP3 for general use, WAV for lossless, OGG for web use

03

Select bitrate for compressed formats (128kbps for standard quality, 320kbps for high quality)

04

Click Process and download your audio file

MP3 vs WAV vs OGG — which format to choose

MP3: Universal compatibility, small file size, supported everywhere
MP3: Lossy compression — some quality loss at lower bitrates
WAV: Lossless, perfect quality, ideal for audio editing
WAV: Very large files — a 10-minute audio track is roughly 100MB
OGG: Open format, good quality-to-size ratio, good browser support
OGG: Not supported in all media players and older devices

Common use cases for audio extraction

  • Extract podcast audio from a recorded video interview
  • Pull a music track from a concert or performance video
  • Get clean audio from a lecture or presentation recording
  • Extract background music from a video for use in another project
  • Convert a video tutorial to audio-only for listening on the go
  • Archive a voiceover or narration track separately from the video

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.
