About Extract Audio
Extract Audio strips the audio track out of a video and saves it as MP3, WAV, OGG, or M4A. Reach for it when you want the soundtrack from a clip, a podcast recorded as video, or a music file from a concert recording. Processing happens in your browser, so the video and the audio you pull from it stay on your device.

Frequently asked questions
Which output formats can I choose?
You can save the extracted track as MP3, WAV, OGG, or M4A.
What video files does it accept?
It accepts any video file. The audio track inside is decoded and written out in the format you pick.
Does the video get uploaded anywhere?
No. The extraction runs entirely in your browser, so the video and the resulting audio never leave your device.
Will I lose audio quality?
Saving to WAV preserves the embedded audio losslessly. Choosing MP3, OGG, or M4A re-encodes it, which is fine for listening but slightly lossy.
Can it handle long videos?
Yes, though in-browser processing means longer videos take more time and memory. Very large files may be slow on low-end hardware.
