How to Remove Audio from a Video (Mute, Free)
Sometimes the audio has to go — background noise, copyrighted music, or a conversation you don't want shared. The Mute Video tool strips the sound out and gives you a clean, silent copy with the video quality untouched, all in your browser.
When to mute a video
Common reasons include removing copyrighted music before posting, cutting out background chatter, silencing a screen recording, or preparing a clip you'll add your own voiceover or music to later. Muting keeps the picture exactly as it was.
How to remove audio
- Open the Mute Video tool and add your file. 2. Click to remove the audio — the video stream is kept untouched and only the sound is dropped. 3. Download the silent video. The whole process runs locally, so nothing is uploaded.
Replacing the audio later
If you want a new soundtrack, mute first, then add music or narration in your editor. To keep just the audio you removed for use elsewhere, grab it first with Video to MP3. Explore more free video tools for the rest of your workflow.
