How to Extract Audio from a Video (Save as MP3)
Last updated: June 12, 2026
Want to save just the audio from a video as an MP3? This guide shows you how — no software, free, and nothing uploaded. It all happens in your browser.
⚠️ First: Mind copyright when using extracted audio. Only use videos you created or that you're allowed to use.
How to extract the audio
Our audio extractor makes it easy. Your video is never sent to a server — it's processed in your browser.
- Choose a video (drag & drop).
- Pick the quality/format: MP3 (128/192/320kbps) or WAV.
- Extract and download: play the result and download it.
Choosing the bitrate
| Setting | Best for |
|---|---|
| MP3 128kbps (light) | Small size; speech / podcasts |
| MP3 192kbps (standard) | The safe default for everyday use |
| MP3 320kbps (high) | Music you want to keep at high quality |
| WAV (lossless) | Editing source; no quality loss (large) |
MP3 vs WAV
MP3 compresses audio to keep the file small — ideal for everyday use. WAV is uncompressed (no loss) with the best quality, but much larger. Rule of thumb: MP3 for listening, WAV for editing material.
