About Remove Audio From a Video

Some videos just don't need sound — background footage for a website, a silent time-lapse, a clip where the original audio has unwanted noise or needs to be replaced entirely in another editor. Removing the audio track shouldn't require re-encoding the entire video just to strip out sound, and with this tool, it doesn't.

This uses FFmpeg's stream-copy mode for the video track (-c:v copy), meaning the video data is copied byte-for-byte from the original file rather than being decoded and re-encoded — only the audio stream is dropped. This makes muting one of the fastest operations available, since no actual video processing happens at all, and video quality is completely unaffected because it was never touched.

A real FFmpeg build compiled to WebAssembly runs this entirely inside your browser — even though stream-copy is fast, it still all happens locally, with no video data ever leaving your device during the process.

The result is a video file identical to the original in every way except the complete absence of an audio track — a genuinely silent file, not just one with the volume set to zero, which matters for platforms or editors that check for the actual presence of an audio stream.

How it works

  1. Upload your video. The file loads into the browser-based FFmpeg engine.
  2. Audio is stripped. The video stream is copied as-is; only audio is removed.
  3. Download the muted video. Identical video quality, with no audio track at all.
