About this tool
This mute video tool removes the sound from a video and keeps the picture exactly as it was. Drop an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV file and every audio track is stripped out. The video stream is copied as is, with no re-encoding, so there is no quality loss and even a long clip is done in seconds. It all runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded.
How to remove audio from a video
- Drop the video on the page or click to choose it.
- The panel shows how many audio tracks will be removed and which format the silent video will use.
- Click Remove audio.
- Play the preview to check it is silent, then download the file.
Why mute a video?
- Background noise: wind, traffic or a loud room that would distract from what you are showing.
- Private conversations picked up by the phone microphone that should not be shared.
- Music you cannot use: a song playing in the background can get a video blocked or muted on social platforms. Remove it and add licensed music in your editor.
- Silent loops for websites, presentations and digital signage, where autoplaying video must be muted anyway.
- A smaller file: the audio track is gone, so the video gets a little lighter.
Which format do I get?
| Video codec in your file | Silent file | Re-encoded? |
|---|---|---|
| H.264 or H.265 (most MP4, MOV, iPhone videos) | MP4 | No, copied |
| VP8 or VP9 (most WebM) | WebM | No, copied |
| AV1 | MP4 or WebM, like the source | No, copied |
| Other codecs | MP4 (H.264) | Yes, as a fallback |
Private by design
The video is read and rewritten on your device with the browser's media engine; nothing is sent to a server. Want the opposite, only the sound? Use the MP4 to MP3 converter. To make the silent clip smaller, use the video compressor, or turn it into a loop with the video to GIF converter.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove the audio from a video?
Drop the video on this page and click Remove audio. The sound is removed, the picture is copied as it is, and you can download the silent video a few seconds later.
Does muting a video reduce its quality?
No. The video stream is copied without re-encoding, so every frame is identical to the original. Only the audio is removed.
Which video formats can I mute?
MP4, MOV (including iPhone videos), WebM and MKV. H.264 and H.265 videos are saved as MP4, and VP8 or VP9 videos as WebM.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Muting happens in your browser on your own device. The video never leaves your computer or phone.
Can I remove only part of the audio, such as the music?
No. This tool removes the whole soundtrack. To replace it, mute the video here and then add new music or a voice over in a video editor.
Can I mute a video on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in Chrome or Safari on Android or iPhone, choose the video from your gallery, remove the audio and save the silent file.
