Zero quality loss
The video stream is copied bit-for-bit into a new container and the audio stream is dropped. Nothing is re-compressed, so the result is visually identical to your source.
Remove Audio From Video
Strip the sound from a video and keep the picture exactly as it was.
How to use it
- 1Choose the video file from your device (up to 500 MB).
- 2Set the options for removing the sound.
- 3Start the job and watch the progress bar.
- 4Download the result before it expires 30 minutes later.
What makes this one different
Fast, because there is no encoding
Muting a video this way is an I/O operation, not a compute one. Even large files finish in seconds rather than minutes.
Web-ready output
The result is written with the moov atom at the front, so it starts playing immediately when streamed rather than after a full download.

What people use it for
- Removing background noise or copyrighted music before reposting your own footage.
- Preparing silent background loops for a website hero or a presentation.
- Muting a screen recording that captured system audio you did not intend to share.
Limitations worth knowing
- This removes all audio; it cannot mute a single section or lower the volume.
- It cannot separate voices from music — that is a different problem entirely.
- Free uploads are capped at 500 MB per file.
Stream copy versus re-encode
Most online 'mute video' tools re-encode the whole file, which costs time and quality for no reason. Removing an audio stream requires only rewriting the container.
The practical difference shows up on long files: a 45-minute 1080p video is muted in seconds by stream copy, and in many minutes by a full re-encode — with visibly softer output at the end of it.
Frequently asked questions
Does removing the audio reduce video quality?
No. The video stream is copied rather than re-encoded, so the picture is byte-identical to your source.
Can I mute only part of the video?
Not with this tool. Trim the section you want first, then remove the audio from that piece.
Why would I mute a video instead of turning the volume down?
A muted upload cannot trigger an automated music-rights claim, and a silent file is slightly smaller. Volume control is a playback setting, not a property of the file.
Can I get the audio back afterwards?
Not from the muted file. If you want both, run the video-to-MP3 tool on the original first to keep a copy of the audio.
