Create podcasts, music clips, or voice recordings. No upload — processed in your browser. **Use this tool:** [Extract Audio from Video](https://findutils.com/media/video-to-audio/) ## Programmatic access - Browser-only: this tool works on a file, the DOM, or a browser API and has no REST or MCP id. ## Why use our Video to Audio Converter? Our video to audio converter makes it easy to extract the audio track from any video file. Perfect for creating podcasts, saving music from videos, or extracting voice recordings. WAV is always available because it is lossless PCM that every browser can write, and MP3, OGG, FLAC, and AAC appear in the picker only when your browser can encode them. Preview the video first to be sure you have the right file, and set an optional start and end time to keep one section instead of the whole track. Extraction reads the audio with WebCodecs through the Mediabunny library, on your device, and runs faster than real time. ## Tips for Best Results - Use high-quality source videos for better audio output. The extracted audio can only be as good as the original recording. - Preview the video before extracting to make sure it contains the audio track you need. Some screen recordings may have no audio. - For large video files, ensure your browser tab stays active during processing. Switching tabs may slow down extraction. - If you need MP3 specifically, choose it in the output picker. It is listed only when your browser can encode MP3; otherwise pick WAV, which every browser can write. - Set the start and end time before extracting to keep only the section you need, or trim the result afterwards with the Audio Trimmer. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What audio format is the output? WAV is always available, because lossless PCM is the one format every browser can write. MP3, OGG (Opus), FLAC, and AAC appear in the output picker only when your browser can encode them, so the list you see depends on the browser you are using. ### Will the audio quality be preserved? Yes, when you pick WAV: it is lossless PCM, so nothing is discarded beyond what the video's own audio track already lost. The compressed options re-encode the track, and in every case the result can only be as good as the source recording. ### Can I extract audio from YouTube videos? No, not directly. You need the video file on your device already, because this tool does not download videos from URLs. ### Are my videos uploaded to a server? No. The extraction runs in your browser and your video file never leaves your device. The page loads ad and analytics scripts as most sites do, and they never see your file. ### What video formats are supported? We support MP4, WebM, MKV, and MOV formats for input. These cover the vast majority of video files you encounter online and from recording devices. ### How do I convert the extracted audio to MP3? Pick MP3 in the output format list before you extract. It is offered whenever your browser can encode MP3. If it is missing from the list, your browser cannot write that format, so choose WAV instead and convert the file with a desktop encoder. ### Is there a file size limit? Yes. The tool accepts video files up to 500 MB and rejects anything larger before reading it. Within the cap, extraction runs faster than real time, though a long recording still takes a little while on a slower device. ### Can I extract audio from a specific section of the video? Yes. Set a start and end time before you extract, and only that range is written to the audio file. Leave the range untouched to get the whole track, or trim the result afterwards with the Audio Trimmer. ### Does this work on mobile devices? Yes, the converter works in modern mobile browsers including Chrome and Safari on both iOS and Android. Processing speed depends on your device hardware. ### Does the Video to Audio Converter require a signup? No. The Video to Audio Converter is free to use, with no signup, no usage limits, and no watermarks on the output. The site is supported by ads rather than subscriptions. ## Related Tools - [Audio Format Converter](https://findutils.com/media/audio-format-converter/) - [Audio Trimmer](https://findutils.com/media/audio-trimmer/) - [Video Trimmer](https://findutils.com/media/video-trimmer/) - [Video Format Converter](https://findutils.com/media/video-format-converter/) - [Video to GIF Converter](https://findutils.com/media/video-to-gif/) - [Video Compressor](https://findutils.com/media/video-compressor/) - [Voice Recorder](https://findutils.com/productivity/voice-recorder/) - [Audio Resampler](https://findutils.com/media/audio-resampler/)
