Mute Video
Remove the audio track from a video. Keeps the original video stream untouched (no re-encode).
About Mute Video
Mute Video strips the audio track from a clip while leaving the picture exactly as it was. Because it doesn't re-encode the video stream, the result is fast and visually lossless. Everything happens in your browser, so the footage never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions
Does muting re-encode and degrade the video?
No. The video stream is copied through untouched and only the audio track is dropped, so picture quality is identical to the source.
What video formats can I mute?
Any common video container the browser accepts (the tool takes video/* input), including MP4, WebM, and MOV.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Processing runs entirely on your device in the browser; the file is never transmitted anywhere.
Is there a file size limit?
There's no fixed cap, but since the work happens in your browser's memory, very large multi-gigabyte files may be limited by your device's available RAM.
Can I get the audio back afterward?
Not from the muted output — the audio track is removed. Keep your original if you may need the sound later, or pull the audio out first with Extract Audio.
