What is Audio Extractor?
The Audio Extractor is a free browser-based tool that pulls the audio track from any video file and saves it as a downloadable audio file. Whether you want to save a speech from a video, extract a music track, create a podcast episode from a video recording, or repurpose video content as audio, the Audio Extractor handles it instantly in your browser without uploading your file to any server. The tool supports MP4, MOV, WebM, and AVI video files and outputs clean audio ready for any use.

Tips for better results
- MP3 for sharing and streaming. MP3 is the most universally compatible audio format and works on all devices, apps, and platforms. Use it for podcasts, social sharing, and general use.
- WAV for editing and production. WAV is uncompressed audio — much larger file size but perfect quality. Use WAV if you plan to edit the audio in a DAW or audio editor.
- Check source audio quality first. The extracted audio cannot exceed the quality of the original video. If the video was recorded with a poor microphone, the extracted audio will reflect that.
- Trim the video before extracting. If you only need a specific portion of audio, use the Video Trimmer first to cut the video to that section, then extract the audio for a smaller, focused file.
- Use for podcast production. Recording video podcasts and extracting the audio is one of the most efficient content workflows — one recording session produces both a video episode and an audio podcast.
- Rename files descriptively. The extracted audio will use the original video filename. Rename it with a clear, descriptive title before uploading to podcast platforms or sharing.
