# Remove the audio from a video

Choose a video and the tool writes a copy without its audio tracks. The video stream is copied, not re-encoded, so the picture is identical, the format stays the same and it usually takes seconds. It handles files up to 500 MB on a computer. If the file has no audio, you get told.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Choose a video from your device.
2. Press Remove audio.
3. Check the preview to confirm it is silent.
4. Download the muted copy as an MP4.

## Key facts

- **Formats**: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI and M4V
- **Picture quality**: Identical, because the video is copied
- **Audio tracks removed**: All of them
- **File limit**: 500 MB on a computer, 250 MB on a phone
- **First run**: Some jobs download a 32 MB video engine once, then your browser reuses it
- **Your file**: Processed inside this tab and never uploaded

## Common uses

- Remove background chatter before sharing a clip.
- Strip private conversation out of a screen recording.
- Prepare footage for a new voiceover or music track.
- Post a silent loop to a page that autoplays video.

## Questions

### Does muting reduce quality or change the format?

You always get an MP4. H.264 and HEVC video is copied bit for bit, so quality is unchanged and the file only gets smaller by the size of the audio it no longer holds. VP8 and VP9 video, common in WebM, is re-encoded to H.264, because MP4 players cannot read it.

### Can I keep the speech and remove only the music?

Not with this tool, which removes every audio track. Remove Music from Video separates the voices from the background instead and keeps the speech.

### How is this different from muting on a platform?

Muting in a player or an app only hides the sound during playback. Here the audio is gone from the file itself, so anyone you send it to cannot turn it back on.

### Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The video engine runs inside your browser tab and reads the file from your device. ToolSugar's servers never receive it, and closing the tab clears the working copy from memory.
