Common Use Cases

Save music from video clips

Got a music video or concert recording? Extract the audio track and save it as an MP3 file you can add to your music library, play offline, or transfer to any music player. Works with any video that contains music — live performances, DJ sets, or fan-recorded clips.

Create podcast audio

Recorded a video podcast or interview? Extract the audio to create an audio-only version for podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Google Podcasts. MP3 format is the standard for podcast distribution, and our tool makes the conversion effortless.

Extract dialogue for editing

Need the audio track from a video for editing, voiceover work, or transcription? Extract it as WAV for lossless quality, then import it directly into audio editors like Audacity, GarageBand, or Adobe Audition. Perfect for filmmakers, content creators, and transcription services.

Save voice memos from video

Accidentally recorded a voice memo as a video on your phone? Extract just the audio to save storage space. A 1-minute video might be 50 MB, but the audio alone is only 1–2 MB as MP3. Share it easily via messaging apps or email without the unnecessary video track.

Works on Any Device

On Windows

No need to install VLC, FFmpeg, or any desktop software. Our online tool works directly in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Upload your video, choose MP3 or WAV, and download the audio in seconds. Everything runs in your browser — no command-line knowledge required.

On Mac

macOS doesn't include a built-in audio extractor. While QuickTime can export audio, the process is limited and cumbersome. Our tool works in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox on any Mac. Upload .mov files from your iPhone, screen recordings, or any video format and get clean audio output.

On Linux

Linux users typically rely on FFmpeg commands like ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vn audio.mp3 to extract audio. Our online tool does the same thing without any terminal commands or package installation. Works from any Linux browser — Firefox, Chrome, or Chromium.

On Mobile

Extracting audio from video on iPhone or Android normally requires downloading a dedicated app. Our tool works directly in your mobile browser — no app needed. Perfect for extracting audio from phone recordings, downloaded videos, or screen captures. Works on iOS Safari and Android Chrome.
