Choosing the right audio format
MP3 for music & podcasts
MP3 offers great compatibility and small file sizes. Best for sharing music clips and podcast excerpts.
WAV for lossless quality
WAV preserves full audio quality with no compression. Ideal for editing, mixing, or archiving.
OGG for open-source
OGG Vorbis provides excellent compression with open licensing. Great for web projects and games.
Large video files
Files up to 500 MB are supported. Audio extraction is faster than re-encoding since only the audio stream is processed.
How to extract audio from a video online
Need to grab the audio from a video? Whether it's a lecture recording you want as a podcast, background music from a clip, or dialogue from a movie scene, our free audio extractor makes it simple.
Upload your video (MP4, WebM, MOV, or AVI up to 500 MB), choose your output format — MP3 for universal compatibility, WAV for lossless quality, or OGG for open-source projects — and click extract. The tool processes only the audio stream, so it's significantly faster than full video conversion.
Everything runs locally in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your video files are never uploaded to any server. The first use requires a one-time download of the video engine (~30 MB), after which subsequent operations start immediately.
Frequently asked questions
What audio formats can I extract to?
You can extract audio as MP3 (LAME VBR ~190 kbps), WAV (uncompressed 16-bit PCM), or OGG (Vorbis VBR ~160 kbps). Choose MP3 for compatibility, WAV for lossless quality, or OGG for open-source projects.
Does extraction affect audio quality?
MP3 and OGG use lossy compression, so there is some quality reduction from the original. WAV preserves the audio losslessly. For most use cases, MP3 at ~190 kbps is indistinguishable from the original.
How fast is the extraction?
Audio extraction is faster than full video conversion since only the audio stream needs processing. A 5-minute video typically takes 5-15 seconds. The first extraction requires downloading the video engine (~30 MB one-time download).
What happens if the video has no audio?
The tool detects whether the video contains an audio track before processing. If no audio is found, you will see an informational message instead of an error.
Are my videos uploaded to a server?
No. All processing runs locally inside your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your videos never leave your device and are never sent to any server.
