How to Remove Audio from Video on iPhone, Android & PC

Why Remove Audio from a Video?

There are many reasons you might want to strip the audio track from a video: maybe the background noise is overwhelming, the music is copyrighted, you're creating a silent tutorial, or you simply want to replace the original audio with a new voice‑over. Doing this with traditional video editors can be time‑consuming and often requires re‑encoding the entire video, which reduces quality.

Our Audio Remover tool solves this by extracting the audio stream without touching the video data. The process is lossless, instant, and happens entirely in your browser—no uploads, no quality loss.

The Traditional Approach vs. Our Stream‑Copy Method

Most video editors re‑encode the whole file when you remove audio, because they need to create a new video file without the audio track. Re‑encoding takes time and can introduce compression artifacts.

Our tool uses FFmpeg's stream‑copy capability: it simply copies the video stream as‑is, discarding the audio stream, and muxes the result into a new container. The video remains pixel‑for‑pixel identical to the original, and the process completes in seconds.

How to Remove Audio in Three Clicks

1. Upload your video – MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, etc. The file never leaves your computer.
2. Choose "Remove Audio" – The tool automatically detects the audio track and prepares to strip it.
3. Download the silent video – Click "Process". You'll get the exact same video, just without sound.

Common Use Cases

• Eliminate background noise – Wind, traffic, or crowd noise ruining your clip? Remove the audio and add a clean voice‑over later.
• Avoid copyright strikes – If your video contains copyrighted music, stripping the audio before uploading to YouTube or TikTok can prevent takedowns.
• Create silent footage for reuse – Perfect for stock video, B‑roll, or overlaying with new narration.
• Fix audio‑sync issues – Sometimes it's easier to remove the out‑of‑sync audio and re‑add it separately.

What About Keeping the Audio and Removing the Video?

If you need the opposite—extracting the audio as an MP3 or other audio file—try our Video Converter. It can convert any video to audio‑only formats, also with local processing.

Privacy First: Your Videos Stay Yours

Because the tool runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm, your video data is never sent over the internet. This is especially important for sensitive or personal content that you wouldn't trust with an online service.
