How to extract audio from a video

  1. 1

    Drop in any video: MP4, MOV, MKV, whatever you have.

  2. 2

    There is nothing to configure. The audio track is pulled out automatically the moment the upload finishes.

  3. 3

    Download the MP3. It carries all of the video's sound at a fraction of its size.

Why extract it here

An extraction, not a remix

The MP3 is encoded straight from the audio track already inside your video. Nothing is filtered, boosted or mysteriously enhanced on the way out.

A fraction of the size

The picture is most of a video's weight. Dropping it leaves a file small enough to send anywhere, carrying all of the sound.

Nothing to configure

Upload finishes, extraction starts, MP3 comes out. WAV and other formats live one click away in the full converter. No watermark, no signup.

What is inside a video file, anyway

A video file is a container holding separate streams: at minimum one video stream and one audio stream, each compressed with its own codec. Extraction opens the box, lifts out the audio stream and re-packs it on its own.

The audio inside most videos is AAC at somewhere between 128 and 256 kbps. Flippy encodes your MP3 from that track directly, so you keep everything it had: and, honestly, nothing more. An extracted MP3 cannot sound better than the track it came from.

Planning to edit the audio afterwards? Grab a WAV from the converter instead. Editing a lossy file and re-exporting it lossy stacks two generations of compression; WAV gives your editor a clean intermediate.

Questions people ask

Does extraction lose audio quality?

No. The audio that's inside the video is what you get. The MP3 is encoded from that track directly, and at a fraction of the file size.

Can I get WAV instead of MP3?

Yes: use the Media Converter and pick WAV as the output. This page takes the fast lane to MP3 because that's what extraction usually means.
