Pull the sound out of any video

Import your video, choose MP3, M4A or WAV, save the file. The whole conversion runs on your device, so even a two-hour recording never reaches a server.

How to convert a video to audio (free, in your browser)

  1. 1

    Import your video

    Drop an MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM or almost any other container. It stays on your device, nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Pick a format

    MP3 to send and publish anywhere, M4A for better quality at the same file size, WAV to keep it lossless for an editor.

  3. 3

    Save the audio

    Start the extraction and download the file. From there you can trim it, clean it up or transcribe it in one click.

The audio is out. Now make it listenable.

Montaj cuts the silences, cleans up a noisy recording with an on-device model and writes word-by-word subtitles — all on your device, without uploading anything.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extract the audio from a video for free?
Import the video on this page, choose MP3, M4A or WAV, and start the extraction. The audio track is separated from the picture and saved as a standalone file. There is no account, no subscription and no watermark.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser, on your device. Your file never leaves your computer or phone, which also means the tool keeps working with no connection once the page is open, and that a confidential recording stays confidential.
Which video formats are supported?
MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM, WMV, FLV, MPEG, 3GP, TS and most other containers. The extractor reads the same formats a desktop video player does, including the ones your browser cannot play back.
Should I choose MP3, M4A or WAV?
MP3 for anything you will send, publish or use as a ringtone: it plays on everything. M4A uses the AAC codec, which sounds slightly better than MP3 at the same size and is native on Apple devices. WAV keeps the audio lossless, which matters only if the file goes back into an editor afterwards, since it is roughly ten times heavier.
Does the extraction lose quality?
A little, and only with MP3 or M4A, because both re-encode. At the default 192 kbps the difference is inaudible on speech and on published music. Pick 320 kbps if the source is high quality music, or WAV if you want no re-encoding loss at all.
Is there a length or file size limit?
No artificial cap. The real limit is your device's memory, since everything is computed locally: a two-hour recording works on a laptop but can be slow on an older phone.
Can I extract the audio from a YouTube or TikTok video?
You need the video file itself, not a link. Download the clip first, then import the file here. Bear in mind that reusing someone else's soundtrack publicly requires their permission.
