Extract Audio from Video Online
Extract the complete soundtrack or a selected time range from a video. Download the result as MP3 or WAV and preview the audio before saving it.
Preview the processed audio and confirm its range and quality before downloading or reusing it.
How to Extract Audio from Video
Extraction creates a separate audio file from the soundtrack already present in the uploaded video. Choose MP3 for a broadly compatible compressed file or WAV when you want an uncompressed output container for a later editing workflow.
You can process the complete soundtrack or enter start and end timestamps for a shorter range. Extraction does not isolate vocals, remove music, transcribe speech, or separate individual speakers.

MP3 or WAV?
- MP3: compressed and convenient for playback, sharing, speech, and music listening.
- WAV: usually larger and useful as an editing intermediate.
- Important: selecting WAV does not restore detail already missing from compressed source audio.
- Both formats: review the output because conversion can change size or audio characteristics.
When to Save a Video Soundtrack Separately
Extract audio when you need the existing voice, music, interview, lecture, ambient sound, or recording as a separate file. Make sure you have permission to reuse or publish material that you did not create.
Popular use cases
- Save an interview, lecture, webinar, or voice recording.
- Prepare audio for a transcription workflow.
- Reuse your own narration or ambient recording.
- Create an audio-only copy for listening or later editing.
- Extract only the relevant time range from a longer video.
What extraction does not do
It does not download videos from a URL, isolate one instrument or voice, clean noise, create captions, or improve low-quality source sound. The output reflects the soundtrack available in the uploaded file.
Extract the Complete Soundtrack or a Time Range
Complete soundtrack mode uses the video's available audio duration. Selected time range mode is useful for a quote, sound effect, short interview answer, or one section of a longer recording. Enter timestamps in hh:mm:ss format and make sure the end is later than the start and within the source duration.
Listen around the beginning and end of the result. Spoken words, music notes, and effects can sound abruptly cut when the chosen timestamps are too tight.
