Extract Audio from a Video
To extract audio from a video, upload the file below, pick an output format — MP3, WAV, or AAC — and download the standalone audio track a few seconds later.
Interviews shot on a phone, webinar recordings, band rehearsals, voice memos accidentally captured as video: the useful part is often the sound alone. Rather than keeping a bulky video just to hear it, pulling the audio out gives you a light, portable file you can transcribe, edit in an audio app, or listen to on the move.

Why use Video-Matic
Three formats, one tool
MP3, WAV, and AAC cover listening, professional editing, and Apple ecosystems — pick the right one per job instead of converting twice.
Any source format
The extractor reads the common video containers, so you do not need to convert a MOV or MKV to MP4 before getting its audio out.
Quick and browser-based
No Audacity import dance, no desktop converter. Upload, choose, download — even from a tablet or a work machine without admin rights.
EU-hosted processing
Everything you upload is processed on EU servers in Paris, and results are only downloadable from your own account.
Frequently asked questions
Which audio format should I choose?›
MP3 is the safe default — small and playable everywhere. WAV is uncompressed, making it the right choice for audio editing, mastering, or feeding a transcription tool with the cleanest possible signal. AAC compresses slightly better than MP3 at similar quality and sits naturally in Apple apps. When unsure, take MP3.
Can I extract audio from a video with no sound?›
If the video genuinely has no audio track, there is nothing to extract and the job will not produce a useful file — check the original plays sound before uploading. Videos with very quiet audio work fine; the extraction preserves whatever is in the track without altering levels.
How much does audio extraction cost?›
One credit per video, and new accounts receive 3 free credits — so three extractions cost nothing. After the free credits, you can buy a one-time pack on the pricing page. There is no subscription model; credits you buy stay available until used.
Is it safe to upload a confidential meeting recording?›
Files are processed in the EU (Paris), reachable only from your account, and never sold or shared with third parties for marketing. That said, for material under strict confidentiality agreements, always check your organization policy about third-party processing before uploading.
