About removing audio
Muting a video removes its audio track entirely, leaving the picture untouched — useful for stripping background noise, copyrighted music, or a commentary track before sharing a clip. The result is a silent video at the original length and resolution.
This tool re-records the video without its audio using your browser’s built-in recorder — there is no ffmpeg, so nothing needs cross-origin isolation that would break the site. Processing happens in real time — about as long as the clip itself — and the output is MP4 or WebM depending on your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
A silent copy is often the starting point for something new. Editors mute a clip to lay a fresh voiceover or music bed under it without the original sound bleeding through. Screen recordings frequently capture keyboard noise, notifications or stray conversation that has no business in the final tutorial. And clips destined for a website header or digital signage usually need to be silent by design, since autoplaying video with sound is blocked or unwelcome almost everywhere.
Because processing runs at playback speed, plan around it for long footage: if you only need a section, cut the clip down first — a two-minute excerpt takes about two minutes, while an hour-long recording takes an hour. Also note the difference between muting a player and muting the file: lowering volume or posting a video as muted leaves the audio data inside, where anyone can unmute it. Removing the track is the only way private audio truly stays behind.
Frequently asked questions
Does it change the video quality?
The video is re-recorded by the browser, so it’s re-encoded once; quality stays close to the original. Only the audio is removed — the picture and length are unchanged.
How long does it take?
About as long as the clip itself, because it’s recorded in real time as it plays through once.
What format do I get?
MP4 where your browser supports recording it, otherwise WebM — both play in modern players and browsers.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Muting happens entirely in your browser, so your video never leaves your device.
Does removing the audio make the file smaller?
Not by much, usually. Audio is a small share of most video files — the picture takes the vast majority of the data — so dropping the soundtrack alone rarely shrinks a file dramatically. The output size also depends on how your browser re-encodes the video during the real-time pass. If your goal is a smaller file rather than a silent one, a dedicated video compressor is the better tool.
