What is it?
Remove Audio from Video makes a silent copy of a video. The picture is copied exactly as it is, not rebuilt, so the result is ready in seconds and looks identical.
Who is it for?
People removing background chatter before posting, creators stripping copyrighted music that blocks uploads, teachers preparing a silent clip to narrate live, and anyone adding their own soundtrack later.
How to use it
- Choose a video.
- Tap Remove sound. You’ll see Removing the sound….
- When it says Done! The video is silent and the picture is unchanged., download the copy.
Keep the sound separately
Want to keep the audio too? Run Video to MP3 first, then remove the sound here. To cut out only part of a video, use Trim Video.
Why does the first job take longer?
The tool uses a video engine (ffmpeg, the free engine inside many video apps) that runs in your browser. The engine is about 31 MB and downloads only the first time you start a job; after that it starts in a second or two. All the work then happens on your device, so a phone is slower than a computer for long or HD videos. Keep the tab open and the screen on until it finishes.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is opened and changed inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. Nothing is sent to us, and closing the page clears it.
Errors and how to fix them
- Loading the video engine (31 MB, only the first time)… takes long: the engine downloads once, then your browser keeps it. Use Wi-Fi the first time.
- The video engine could not start …: the download was interrupted or blocked. Check your connection, turn off data saver or an aggressive ad blocker for this page, and try again.
- “This file could not be read. It may be damaged, or a format we cannot open”: play the file in your phone’s gallery first. If it plays, convert it with Video Converter and try again; if it doesn’t, the file itself is damaged.
- “This file is too big for your browser. Try a shorter or smaller file, or a computer with more memory”: the browser ran out of memory. Close other tabs, use a computer, or cut the video into parts with Trim Video.
- “This file is over 1.5 GB: too big to process inside a browser”: trim or compress it on a computer first.
- The video still has sound: you are playing the original. Open the downloaded copy (its name ends in “-no-sound”).
