Extract Audio from Video
Extract the audio from a video as MP3, M4A or WAV.
The download link expires 1 hour after you download. Nothing is added to your file.
Drop a video (up to 100 MB) and choose the audio you want: MP3 for anywhere, M4A for Apple devices and smaller files, or WAV for an exact, uncompressed copy to edit. No account, no ad, and the file keeps its name.
Why use Video to Audio?
Three outputs, one click
MP3 plays everywhere. M4A (AAC) is the native audio of iPhone, iMovie and GarageBand. WAV is uncompressed, for editing in Audacity, Premiere or a DAW.
WAV for editors
WAV is decoded straight from the video's audio with no second compression, so nothing is lost on the way into your editor.
Captions and notes from the same audio
After the extraction, get a transcript with timestamps from the same file. The first 30 minutes are free without an account.

MP3, M4A or WAV?
Pick by what you will do next
If you only want to listen or share, MP3 is the safe choice. If you are going to cut, clean or mix the audio, take WAV: every further edit then starts from the decoded original instead of a compressed copy.
