Frequently asked questions

Which video formats work?

Most common formats, including MP4, MOV, and WEBM, work as long as your browser can decode the audio codec inside them. If extraction fails, the specific codec may not be supported by your browser.

Does this also let me trim the video or audio?

No, this tool only extracts the full audio track. For cutting a section afterward, extract it here first, then use the Audio Trimmer tool on the result.

Will this work on long or large video files?

It can, but the whole audio track is decoded into memory at once, so a very long video may be slow or run into memory limits on some devices. Shorter clips extract almost instantly.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The video is read and the audio extracted entirely in your browser. Nothing about your file is sent to a server.
