Separate the soundtrack from any video into an MP3 file
Extract the audio from a video into a 192kbps MP3 file for listening, transcription, editing, or saving a video-recorded lecture. The file never leaves your computer, which is important for a recording of a meeting, a class, or an interview. The tool also accepts audio files, so you can convert a recording in another format to MP3. When finished, there is a player to check the result before downloading. This is especially useful before uploading to a transcription tool, since an audio file is much lighter than a video, and also for extracting a soundtrack from a video you shot. You can upload a file of up to 40MB.
MP3 at a rate of 192kbps, which is considered high quality for both speech and music. It is also a good balance between quality and file size, and is enough for any use that is not professional production.
On the first use, a video processing engine of about 31MB is downloaded and cached for next time. After that, the extraction is relatively fast, because the video is not re-encoded, only the audio track.
The tool works on a file located on your computer, not on a link. Downloading content from YouTube is subject to their terms of service and the owner's copyright.
The limit is on the file size, not the length: up to 40MB. A 1080p video from a phone reaches this limit after a few minutes, while a compressed video or an audio recording can be much longer.
Yes. The tool also accepts audio files, like a phone recording in M4A format or a WAV file, and returns an MP3.
