Video to MP3 — Extract Audio from Any Video Format
Extract the audio track from any video file and save it as MP3 or WAV. Our free browser-based converter works entirely on your device — your video is never uploaded to any server. Perfect for extracting music from videos, saving podcast audio, or creating audio-only versions of video content.
Choosing WAV lifts the decoded audio out without a second compression pass, so what you get is what was in the video. Choosing MP3 re-encodes to a much smaller file, which is the right trade for a lecture or a podcast and the wrong one for audio you plan to edit further. There is no length cap and no queue, because the work happens on your own machine rather than in someone else's job pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract high-quality audio from an MP4 video?
Yes! Our tool lets you choose the output audio quality (bitrate) or save as an uncompressed WAV file, ensuring the best possible audio fidelity from your original video.
Is my video file safe while extracting audio?
Absolutely. The video-to-audio extraction happens entirely within your web browser. We never upload your video files to a cloud server, ensuring complete privacy from start to finish.
MP3 or WAV — which should I choose?
WAV if the audio is going into an editor, a transcription tool, or anything that will process it further, because it avoids a second lossy pass. MP3 if you are simply going to listen to it: a 192 kbps file is roughly a tenth the size and the difference is inaudible on headphones or in a car.
Can I use this on a YouTube link?
No — the tool works on files you already have, not on URLs. Use it on your own recordings, screen captures, and footage, or on a video you have downloaded and have the right to use. Pulling audio out of someone else's upload is usually a breach of the platform's terms.
Does extraction lose quality?
Not on the WAV path, which writes the decoded audio without re-compressing it. The MP3 path encodes once, so audio that was already compressed inside the video takes a second lossy pass. At 192 kbps and above that is inaudible for speech and for most music.
