How to remove audio from video

Three steps and a few seconds, with nothing to install and no account to make. It works in your browser, on a computer or a phone.

  1. Choose your video

    Drop a file on the page, or pick one from your phone's videos. MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV all work.

  2. Check it's the right one

    Your video plays on the page, silent, as the new copy will be.

  3. Export it without sound

    The sound track is left out and the picture is copied exactly, in seconds. It's saved with the original's name: holiday.mov becomes holiday_ohsovideo.mov.

Why remove audio from video?

Swap the sound for something better. The footage is good but the sound isn't: wind, a buzzing microphone, people talking over you. Take the sound off, then add music, a voiceover or a clean re-recording in your editing app.

Record the narration again. It's often easier to mute the video and read the words afresh in a quiet room than to rescue the original with noise reduction.

Make silent B-roll. Cutaway clips usually sit under one main sound track, so muting them before they reach Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut saves a step in the timeline.

Post it where it plays silently anyway. Instagram and LinkedIn start videos without sound, so a clip recorded in a noisy room plays cleanly once the sound is gone.

Take out what you can't share. Screen recordings and meeting clips often catch something confidential in the background. Removing the sound is the quickest way to make one safe to send, with no editing software involved. If only part of the clip matters, you can trim video down to it first.

Questions about removing audio

How do I remove audio from a video without losing quality?

The sound track is left out and the picture is copied exactly as it is, never re-encoded, so it looks identical to the original. That's also why it takes seconds rather than minutes.

Does removing audio from a video online mean my file is uploaded?

Not here. Your browser reads the video and writes the silent copy itself, on your device, and nothing is uploaded. That holds whether it's family footage, a confidential screen recording or anything else you'd rather keep to yourself.

Can I remove audio from an MP4?

Yes. MP4 is fully supported, and so are MOV, WebM and MKV. The copy keeps the original's format, so a video from an iPhone stays a MOV.

How do I remove sound from a video on my phone?

Open this page in your browser on an iPhone or an Android phone: there's no app to install. Choose your video, export it and save it, the same three steps as on a computer.

Is the sound gone completely?

Yes. The sound track is left out of the new file altogether, so the video is silent in every player and app, not just turned down.

Can I use the muted video in my editing software?

Yes. It's an ordinary video file with no sound track, so Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut and any other editor take it like any other silent clip.

Can I mute just part of a video?

Not yet: the whole sound track is removed. If you only need part of the video, trim it first.

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no account, no trial, no paywall and no limit on how many videos you mute.

Will there be a watermark on my video?

No, never. What you save is your picture exactly as it was, with the sound left out and nothing added.

Which formats can I use?

MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV, from phones, cameras and screen recorders. The silent copy is saved in the same format as the original.

Is there a size limit?

Videos can be up to 2 GB. Long videos are quick too, because nothing is re-encoded.

What is the new file called?

Your video's name with _ohsovideo added, such as holiday_ohsovideo.mp4, so it sits next to the original. The original is never changed.
