Common reasons to mute a video
- Remove copyrighted background music before posting to YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok
- Strip audio from a screen recording that captured system sounds or microphone noise
- Create a silent video loop for use as a website background or digital display
- Remove private conversation audio from a recorded meeting before sharing
- Prepare a video for re-dubbing or adding new audio in a video editor
- Eliminate wind noise or poor audio quality from outdoor footage
Why muting is instant while other operations take longer
Most video operations — compression, conversion, speed changes — require the video to be fully decoded and re-encoded frame by frame. Muting does not. The video bitstream is copied directly into the output container and the audio stream is simply omitted. This means a 500MB video that would take two minutes to compress is muted in under five seconds. The trade-off is that the output retains the original video codec and bitrate, so file size reduction is minimal — use Video Compress if you also need a smaller file.
Key Features
Zero Quality Loss
The video stream is copied directly without re-encoding. Only the audio track is removed, so the visual quality is bit-for-bit identical to the source.
Fast Processing
Because the video is not re-encoded, muting is near-instant regardless of file length or resolution. A 1GB video takes the same time as a 10MB one.
MP4 Output
Output is always a clean MP4 — the most compatible video container for sharing, uploading, and playback across all devices and platforms.
No Upload Required
All processing is done locally in your browser. The video file never leaves your device.
Complete Privacy
Video files are processed entirely in your browser. No data is uploaded to any server at any point. This makes the tool safe to use with sensitive recordings, private meetings, or confidential footage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the video quality change?
No. The video stream is copied directly without re-encoding. Muting only removes the audio track — the video frames, resolution, frame rate, and bitrate are all preserved exactly.
What if I want to keep the audio but reduce its volume?
This tool removes audio completely. If you need to adjust volume rather than remove it, use a video editor. For removing audio entirely from a clip before sharing, this is the fastest option.
Can I mute only part of the video?
This tool mutes the entire video. For partial audio removal, combine with the Video Trimmer to isolate the segment you need, mute it, then reassemble in a video editor.
Is there a file size limit?
The tool enforces a 500MB limit. Because the video is not re-encoded, processing is fast and memory usage is low even for large files.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome 94+ and Edge 94+ are fully supported. Firefox has partial WebCodecs support. Chrome is recommended.
