When you need to mute video

Muting a video is handy when the soundtrack is background noise, includes music you cannot use, or when you simply want a silent clip for a presentation, a website background or a social post. This tool drops the audio track and keeps the picture exactly as it was.

Because the video stream is copied rather than re-encoded, there is no loss in picture quality and the process is quick, even for larger files. The output is a video with no sound. If a clip needs other work first, the Video Converter changes its format and the Video Trimmer cuts it to length.

Frequently asked questions

Will video quality change?

No — the picture is copied directly without re-encoding.

Can I replace the audio instead of removing it?

Not yet — this tool only removes the existing track.

Does this work on any format?

Most common formats work; if one fails, try converting it first.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The audio is stripped in your browser tab using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your video stays on your device.

What format is the muted video?

An MP4 file. The picture is copied straight from your original, and only the audio track is dropped.
