I want to get the audio (MP3) out of a video
Keep only the sound (a lecture, a song, a podcast segment) as a clean MP3 you can play anywhere.
To get the audio from a video, use an extract-audio tool: it separates the soundtrack and saves it as an audio file like MP3. Drop your clip in and download just the sound: useful for podcasts, music, lectures or voice notes. Our Extract Audio tool runs in your browser, so the video is never uploaded.
4 tools for this
Each one is free, private and runs in your browser. No sign-up, no watermark.
Extract Audio from Video
Pull the audio track out of any video and save it as MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A or OGG, right in your browser. Drop an MP4, MOV or WEBM, pick a format, preview and download. Nothing is uploaded.
Audio to MP3
Turn any audio file into an MP3, right in your browser. Drop a recording or track, listen to it, choose how good you want the MP3 to sound, and download. No upload, no account, nothing leaves your device.
Audio Trimmer
Trim audio in your browser with a real waveform: drop an MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG, drag a selection to keep exactly the part you want, preview it, then download a lossless WAV or a compact MP3. Sample-accurate and 100% private. Nothing is uploaded.
Audio Compressor
Compress audio and reduce file size in your browser, lower the MP3 bitrate and sample rate to shrink a WAV, MP3, M4A, FLAC or OGG down to a fraction of its size. See the exact before/after weight, preview the waveform, then download. Nothing is uploaded.
How to fix it
Follow these steps and you'll have it sorted in a couple of minutes.
- 1

- 2

- 3
Save as MP3

Trim or tidy
Use the Audio Trimmer to cut to the exact part, or compress it if the file is large.
- Extracting from a huge video on a low-memory device. Trim the clip first so the browser can handle it.
- Expecting studio quality from a noisy source. Extraction preserves the original audio, it can't clean up bad recording.
- Ripping content you don't have the rights to reuse, only extract audio you're allowed to.
