How to extract audio from a video

If you only need the sound from a video, convert the video to an audio format instead of keeping the video track.

Quick answer

Use MP4 → MP3 for a compact audio-only copy.

The converter processes the media into a new MP3 file. You can adjust bitrate and trim the source when those controls apply.

Extract MP3 audio from a video

  1. Choose the video.MP4 is the most common starting point; MOV and other media routes are available too.
  2. Choose bitrate or trim points.Higher MP3 bitrate generally preserves more detail but creates a larger audio file.
  3. Convert and download.The output contains audio only; the video picture is not kept.
Need WAV instead?

WAV is useful for editing workflows but is usually much larger than MP3.

Have a MOV file?

Use MOV to MP3 rather than renaming the extension.
