What is this tool and what does it do?

It's a free online audio remover that strips audio tracks from video files. In milliseconds, it separates the video stream from the audio and creates a silent video file. The result is a video with no sound (muted video) that you can download. This tool saves you from complex video editing software—just upload your video and let our tool do the work.

Is this audio remover really free to use?

Yes—our tool is 100% free to use. You can upload videos and remove audio without paying anything and without creating an account. Unlike services that charge for processing or limit file sizes, we offer unlimited audio removal at no cost.

Are there any limits on video size or number of uses?

There are no strict limits—you can remove audio from as many videos as you need. We recommend keeping individual file sizes reasonable for faster processing. The tool handles various video formats and resolutions, and there's no daily quota or watermark.

Will the video quality be affected when removing audio?

No, the video quality remains the same. We remove only the audio track while leaving the video stream untouched—no re-encoding, so you keep the original visual quality.

Do I need to install any software or plugin?

No installation needed. The audio remover runs entirely online in your browser using WebAssembly. Just visit the site, upload your video, and remove the audio instantly on desktop or mobile.

Is it safe to upload my videos? Will my files be stored?

We take privacy seriously. Your videos are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to our servers. All processing happens locally, so your files never leave your device.

Can I process multiple videos at once?

Yes. You can upload and process up to 20 videos simultaneously. Each video is processed independently, and you can download them individually or all together as a ZIP file.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Absolutely. Our free audio removal tool works on mobile browsers just as it does on desktop. Open your mobile browser, go to the site, and upload a video from your gallery—processing happens locally.

What video formats are supported?

We support major formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, and more. The tool detects the format automatically, and the output typically matches your input for compatibility.

Can I use the edited videos commercially?

Yes. The videos you process are yours. Removing the audio doesn't change your rights—you can use the silent videos for social content, presentations, marketing, or client projects.

Why would I want to remove audio from a video?

There are many reasons: create silent autoplay videos for social, remove copyrighted music, eliminate background noise, prepare clips for voiceovers, make GIF-like content, meet platform rules, or when you only need visuals.
