Remove Audio from Video — Mute Without Re-encoding
Remove the audio track from any video instantly in your browser. Our tool strips the sound while preserving the original video quality — no re-encoding needed, so the process is fast and lossless. Perfect for removing background noise, music, or conversations from videos before sharing. Your video never leaves your device.
Stripping the sound is a container-level edit: the video stream is copied across byte for byte and only the audio stream is dropped, which is why the result is identical in quality to the source and finishes in about the time it takes to write the file. The usual reasons are a copyrighted music bed that would get a repost muted, a colleague talking over a screen recording, or an upload form that rejects video with audio. If you want to keep the sound as well, run the file through the video-to-MP3 extractor first, then remove the track here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove audio from a GIF?
A real GIF cannot carry sound, so there is nothing to remove. If your "GIF" plays audio, it is really a short MP4 or WebM video (Twitter/X, Imgur .gifv and most messaging apps convert GIFs this way). Drop that file here to mute it, or turn it into a true silent GIF with the Video to GIF tool.
Does removing audio reduce the video quality?
No. Our tool simply strips the audio stream from the video container using a stream copy process. The video component is not re-encoded, meaning its original visual quality remains exactly the same.
How fast is the audio removal process?
Extremely fast. Because we do not re-encode the video itself, removing audio is practically instantaneous, depending only on the file size and your device's local file saving speed.
Why remove the audio instead of just muting it?
Muting is a playback setting — the audio is still inside the file. Anyone who downloads it can turn the sound back on, and platform copyright scanners still read the track and can mute or block the upload. Removing the stream deletes the data outright, so the file is smaller and there is nothing left to detect.
How much smaller will the file be?
Roughly the size of the audio track, which for a standard AAC stream is about 1-2 MB per minute. A ten-minute clip usually drops 10-20 MB. The video stream is untouched, so every byte saved comes from the removed audio.
Does it work with video straight off my phone?
Yes. iPhone and Android both record MP4 or MOV with an AAC audio track, which is the case stream copy handles best. Drag the file in from your camera roll and the muted version downloads in seconds, with the picture untouched.
