What people use it for

  • Music from a filmed video

    A show, rehearsal or performance filmed on your phone becomes an audio file you can play anywhere.

  • Lectures and talks

    The audio alone is much smaller than the video and easy to listen to on the go.

  • Video podcasts

    Creators who record on video pull the sound out to publish on audio platforms too.

  • A track to edit

    The separate sound goes into another editor to cut, mix or reuse in a new video.

  • Transcribing an interview

    It is easier to listen and take notes from a light audio file.

Tips for a better result

  1. 01
    On a phone, short videos work best.

    The whole video has to fit in the device memory. Long videos work better on a computer.

  2. 02
    MP3 to keep, WAV to edit.

    MP3 is light and plays everywhere. WAV keeps the sound exactly as it was in the video.

  3. 03
    Only need a part?

    After extracting the audio, use the audio cutter to keep just the section you want.

  4. 04
    Audio too quiet?

    The "Even out the volume" tool brings the sound up to full volume without distortion.

The ones your browser can play: usually MP4, MOV and WebM.
