MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM · processed privately, never uploaded

Pull the sound out of any video and save it on its own, as an MP3 or WAV file. Everything happens on your device, so nothing is uploaded, there's no account, no watermark, and no wait in a queue.

Choosing between MP3 and WAV

MP3 is the safe default: it plays everywhere and the file stays small. At 320 kbps a track runs roughly 2.4 MB per minute, 192 kbps about 1.4 MB, and 128 kbps around 1 MB. Use 320 for music you want to keep, 192 for general listening, and 128 for spoken word where size matters more than fidelity. Pick WAV only when you need untouched, lossless audio, for example a clip going into an editor for further processing. WAV is far larger, around 10 MB per minute for standard stereo, so it's overkill for casual playback.

Matching the format to what you're extracting

For a podcast or interview track, 128 or 192 kbps MP3 is plenty and keeps episodes small enough to email or host. For music you plan to actually enjoy, use 320 kbps so cymbals and reverb don't smear. For a voice memo or a line of dialogue you'll transcribe, 128 kbps MP3 is fine and produces the smallest file. Reach for WAV when the audio is a source you'll edit, master, or run through noise reduction, since re-compressing already-compressed audio stacks up artifacts.

What comes out and what doesn't

You get the full audio track exactly as long as the video, with the original volume left alone, so a two-minute clip yields two minutes of sound. The tool separates the audio from the picture; it doesn't trim, fade, normalize, or merge tracks. If your video has a quiet or clipped mix, the extracted file will have the same levels, so plan to adjust those afterward in an audio editor. If a source has multiple audio tracks, the primary one is what gets pulled.

Tips

Save music at 320 kbps MP3; drop to 128 kbps for talk-only recordings to shrink the file about threefold.
Use WAV only when the audio is headed back into an editor, since re-encoding compressed audio degrades it further.
A 128 kbps MP3 lands near 1 MB per minute, handy for staying under email or chat attachment caps.
Extracted audio keeps the source's exact length and volume, so do any trimming or leveling in a separate editor.

Questions

Which format should I pick for a podcast?: MP3 at 128 or 192 kbps is the standard for spoken word. It keeps episode files small while staying clear enough for voice, and it plays in every podcast app.
Does WAV really sound better than 320 kbps MP3?: On most speakers and headphones the difference is inaudible. WAV's real value is that it's lossless, so it holds up when you edit or re-process it; for plain listening, 320 kbps MP3 is effectively identical and much smaller.
Can I extract just part of the video's audio?: No, the tool pulls the entire audio track for the full length of the video. Trim the clip beforehand or cut the resulting audio file in an editor afterward.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?: No. The video is processed entirely on your device and nothing is sent to a server, so your files stay private with no account or sign-in.
