WaffleFrameGood reasons to mute a video
Remove wind noise and chatter before adding music, avoid copyright claims from music playing in the background, hide private conversations, or create a clean silent loop for a website or presentation. Pair it with the Loop Video tool for background visuals.
Muting vs turning the volume down
Lowering the volume in an app only affects playback on your screen. Muting here deletes the audio track from the file itself, so nobody can turn the sound back up, and the file even gets slightly smaller.
Muted on your own device
Everything runs in your browser with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your file is never uploaded. It is processed in your device's memory and saved straight to your downloads.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove the sound from a video?
Drop your video into the tool above and click Remove audio. The tool rebuilds the file without its audio track and gives you a silent MP4 to download. The picture keeps its original resolution and frame rate.
Can someone turn the sound back on?
No. The audio track is deleted from the file, not just turned down, so there is nothing left to unmute. That makes it a safe way to share footage that contains private conversations or background noise.
Will muting help against copyright claims?
If the claim comes from music in the background of your recording, removing the audio track removes that music too. Claims about the picture itself, such as filmed TV or movie footage, are not affected by muting.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The mute video tool runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. The file never leaves your device and nothing is stored on a server.
Does it reduce quality?
The video is re-encoded with high-quality H.264 settings so it plays everywhere, and in practice it looks the same as the original. Because the audio is gone, the file usually ends up a little smaller too.
How much does it cost?
Each export uses one of your five free daily uses, or one credit once those are used. There's no watermark and no subscription, and failed exports are refunded automatically.
