# Audio Extractor

ToolSugar takes the sound out of a video in your browser. Save it as MP3, M4A or WAV, or choose Original to copy an AAC, MP3 or Opus track exactly, with no re-encoding and no quality loss. It reads the first audio track only. Videos stay on your device. The first run downloads a 32 MB engine from a public CDN.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Choose a video file.
2. Select MP3, M4A, WAV or Original.
3. Press extract audio.
4. Download the audio file.

## Key facts

- **Original mode**: Copies AAC to M4A, MP3 to MP3 and Opus to .opus. Tests confirm the audio packets are byte-identical.
- **Other codecs**: Original mode explains when a track cannot be copied, and you can pick MP3, M4A or WAV instead.
- **Encoding**: Original mode skips encoding entirely.

## Common uses

- Keeping the exact audio from a video with no extra generation loss.
- Making a WAV from a video for sound editing.
- Getting the narration from a screen recording.

## Questions

### When should I choose Original?

Whenever the player you use can open that format. It keeps every bit of the original sound and skips encoding.

### What if the video has no sound?

The tool tells you there is no audio track rather than making an empty file.
