What Does This Tool Do?
The Audio Stripper extracts the audio track from any video file and lets you download it as a standalone audio file. Whether you want to grab a song from a music video, pull dialogue from a clip, or separate narration from a screen recording, this tool handles it entirely in your browser — your video file never leaves your device.
When Should You Use This Tool?
Use this tool whenever you need just the audio from a video: ripping a podcast episode from a recorded video, extracting background music, saving voiceover from a tutorial, creating audio clips for presentations, or converting video interviews to audio-only files for transcription. Since everything runs locally, it is also ideal when working with private or sensitive recordings.
FAQ
Does my video get uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser using the Web Audio API. Your video file never leaves your device.
What video formats are supported?
Any format your browser can decode — typically MP4 (H.264/AAC), WebM (VP8/VP9/Opus), and OGG. Support for MOV, AVI, and MKV varies by browser. Chrome and Edge generally have the widest format support.
Why is the WAV file so large?
WAV is an uncompressed lossless format, so file sizes are proportional to duration and sample rate. A 5-minute stereo track at 44.1 kHz produces roughly a 50 MB WAV file. Use the OGG option for smaller files with minimal quality loss.
Can I extract audio from very long videos?
Yes, but browser memory limits apply. For typical videos under an hour, this tool works well. For very long videos (several hours), you may run into memory limitations depending on your device.
What is the difference between Stereo and Mono?
Stereo preserves the original left/right channel separation. Mono mixes all channels into a single channel, halving the file size and producing a centered sound — useful for voice recordings or when stereo separation is not needed.
