Wind noise gone, picture untouched

Remove the sound from a whole video, replace it with silence, or mute just one part. The picture is copied, not re-encoded, so nothing is lost.

Want to keep the voice and remove only the background noise (hum, wind, chatter)? Use Remove Background Noise instead — this tool deletes the whole sound track.

Quick Answer

To remove audio from a video, upload the file here and click Remove Audio — the muted video is ready to download in seconds. The tool copies the video stream untouched and drops the audio track, so the picture quality is identical to the original with no re-encoding and no generation loss. Everything happens inside your browser through FFmpeg.wasm: no upload, no account, no watermark. This is the fastest way to silence a clip before sharing it, adding new music, or removing background noise, chatter or copyrighted sound.

Common Use Cases

Avoiding copyright claims on music in the background

Music playing in the background of a recording can trigger an automated copyright claim or a muted upload. Removing the audio track entirely, then adding a licensed track, avoids the problem.

Protecting privacy in a recording

Screen recordings, dashcam clips and family videos often capture conversations you do not want to publish. Stripping the audio keeps the footage and removes everything that was said.

Cleaning up wind, hiss and handling noise

Outdoor and handheld footage picks up wind rumble and microphone bumps. If nothing worth keeping was said, deleting the sound is quickest; if the voice matters, Remove Background Noise filters the wind and hiss out and keeps the speech.

Preparing footage for a voiceover or new soundtrack

Editors usually mute the source clip first, then lay a narration or music bed underneath.

Silent background and looping video

Website hero videos, digital signage and presentation backgrounds are expected to be silent, and browsers block autoplay for clips that carry audio.

Shrinking the file a little

Dropping the audio stream removes a few percent of the file size, which helps when you are close to an upload limit.

How to Remove Sound from a Video (Mute a Video)

Wait for the video engine to load. A progress bar shows FFmpeg loading. The upload area appears when it is ready.
Choose your video. Click “Select Video” or drop the file onto the upload area. It opens in the player right away. The file is not uploaded anywhere.
Decide what happens to the sound. “Remove it completely” deletes the audio track. “Replace it with silence” keeps a silent track that some apps need. “Mute only part of the video” silences just the sections you choose, such as a swear word, a song or a name. Set the time ranges and add more with “+ Add another part”.
Click “Remove Audio & Download Video”. When processing is done, save the file with the “Download Muted Video” button.

If you remove the whole audio track, the video is copied without re-encoding. That takes only seconds and the picture quality does not change. To silence a single swear word or song, use the partial mute option instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove the audio from a video?

Upload the video to this page and click the Remove Audio button. The tool discards the audio stream and copies the video stream unchanged, then offers the muted file for download. You can also replace the sound with silence, or mute only certain parts, from the same menu.

Does removing audio reduce video quality?

No. The video stream is copied bit for bit rather than re-encoded, so the muted file is visually identical to the original. That is also why the operation takes seconds instead of minutes.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. FFmpeg.wasm runs inside your browser tab, so the file is processed on your own device and never transmitted to miniwebtool or anyone else.

What is the difference between muting a video and removing its audio?

Muting in a player only silences playback for you; the audio is still in the file and anyone who downloads it can hear it. This tool physically deletes the audio track, so the sound is gone for every viewer on every player.

Can I remove just part of the audio, or lower the volume instead?

Yes. Choose Mute only part of the video and enter the start and end of each part to silence; the now buttons copy the time from the player. Only those parts go quiet and the picture is still copied untouched. To turn the volume down instead of muting, use the Video Volume Booster; to swap in a new soundtrack, use Add or Replace Audio in Video.

Which video formats can I mute?

Common containers work, including MP4, WEBM, MOV and AVI, as far as FFmpeg.wasm and your browser can read them. The muted output keeps the original video codec.

How long does it take?

Usually a few seconds, even for long videos, because no frames are re-encoded. The main wait is loading the FFmpeg engine the first time you open the page.

Is it free and is there a watermark?

Free accounts can process 3 videos a day with no account and no watermark; members get more.

How do I mute just the first 8 seconds of a video?

Use the option to mute only part of the video, add a time range from 0 to 8 seconds, and process the file. The form lets you play the video, pause where the sound should go quiet, and use the “now” control to copy a time. Preview the finished video afterward to confirm that the quiet section starts and ends where you intended.

Should I remove the audio track or replace it with silence?

Choose Remove it completely if you want to delete the audio track. Choose Replace it with silence if you want the file to retain a silent audio track, which the form notes some apps need. Both choices make the video sound silent, but applications can handle a file with no audio stream differently from one that contains a silent stream.

Will removing audio also remove subtitles from my video?

The form’s options target the sound: deleting the audio track or replacing it with silence. Subtitles may be stored separately as text tracks or burned into the picture, so they are not necessarily the same thing as audio. Check the preview and downloaded file if subtitle preservation matters, since the page information does not specify how every subtitle format is handled.
