Extract Audio from Video
Turn the first audio track in an MP4, MOV, or WebM video into a 192 kbps MP3. Preview the source, then convert it on your device.
Why extract audio from a video in your browser?
- Previews the source video and duration before audio extraction begins
- Extracts the first audio track and excludes every video stream from the result
- Creates a widely playable 192 kbps MP3 with LAME encoding
- Normalizes output to 44.1 kHz stereo for predictable MP3 compatibility
- Names the download after the source with a clear -audio suffix
- Processes the source locally in your browser without an upload or watermark
Frequently asked questions
What audio format does this tool create?
The download is a 192 kbps MP3 encoded with LAME. It uses a 44.1 kHz stereo layout for broad playback support in browsers, music players, presentation apps, and editing software.
Which audio track is extracted?
The tool extracts the first audio track in the source video. Videos can contain multiple language, commentary, or microphone tracks; this focused browser tool does not provide a track selector.
Is the extracted audio lossless?
No. MP3 is a lossy format, so the source audio is decoded and re-encoded. A mono or multichannel source is converted to stereo, and its sample rate is converted to 44.1 kHz.
What happens if the video is silent?
The conversion stops with a recoverable error because there is no audio track to map. Your source remains selected so you can review it or choose another video.
Does the MP3 include the video or source metadata?
No. The output contains audio only. Video, subtitle and data tracks, chapters, cover art, location data, and source metadata are not copied.
Is my video uploaded to Tight Studio?
No. The preview and MP3 encoding run inside your browser. Large or long files can still be limited by device speed and browser memory because processing happens locally.
