Bulk Remove Audio from Video Files

Strip the audio track from many clips at once. Useful for B-roll, copyrighted music, and silent screen recordings.

  • Remove the audio track from many videos at once
  • Lighter output, since the typical AAC track is a meaningful fraction of a video’s bitrate
  • Combine with format conversion or width changes in one pass
  • Local browser processing, no upload required
  • Download individually or as a ZIP

Overview

A surprising amount of video does not need its original audio. Phone footage you only want for the visuals, screen recordings of UI you will narrate later, social-ready B-roll, exercise demos, and anything where the original soundtrack is copyrighted music. All of it is better off muted before it goes anywhere else.

Removing audio one file at a time in a desktop editor is tedious. This tool strips the audio track from a whole batch in one pass. The audio is dropped at the encoding step, not just muted, so the resulting file has no audio data at all and is meaningfully lighter. The typical AAC track is a meaningful fraction of a video’s bitrate, which adds up on long clips. Exact savings depend on the source audio.

You can combine audio removal with format conversion and width changes in the same batch.

Technical notes

Removed, not just muted

The output file has no audio track at all, not a silent one. Players show no audio indicator and the file is genuinely smaller than a muted clip would be.

Size savings

A typical AAC audio track is a meaningful fraction of a video’s overall bitrate. Stripping it makes long screen recordings, interviews, and B-roll noticeably lighter. Exact savings depend on the source audio.

Common reasons

Copyrighted background music, B-roll where you will dub later, screen recordings to narrate over, silent demos, anything you plan to feed into a video editor where you will replace the audio anyway.

Good to know

No selective track removal

The toggle removes all audio. There is no per-track control for files that carry multiple audio streams. For that, a desktop editor is the right tool.

Cannot replace audio in the same pass

This tool removes audio; it does not add new audio. Drop the silent output into your editor afterwards if you want to layer in licensed music or a voiceover.

How to remove audio from many videos at once

Strip audio from a batch of videos locally in your browser.

01

Add your videos

Drag the video files you want to mute into the queue.

02

Enable Remove audio

In settings, toggle Remove audio on so the output has no sound track at all.

03

Pick output format

Choose the output format you want. MP4 is a safe default.

04

Convert and download

Start the batch, then download the silent results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Is this the same as muting the video?

No. Muting in a player just turns the volume to zero; the audio data is still in the file. This removes the audio track entirely, so the file is smaller and players show no audio at all.

How much smaller will the file be?

Noticeably smaller. A typical AAC track is a meaningful fraction of a video’s bitrate, so the savings add up on long clips. Higher-bitrate audio saves more; ratios depend on the source.

Does this avoid copyright detection on social platforms?

It removes the original audio entirely, so there is no audio fingerprint left to match. Add new licensed audio in your editor afterwards if you need a soundtrack.

Which browsers does this work in?

Conversion uses the WebCodecs API. Fully supported: desktop Chrome 94+, Edge 94+, Opera 80+, Firefox 130+, and Safari 26+. Safari 16.4 to 25 work for most files but some may fail because their WebCodecs implementation is partial. Browsers without WebCodecs (Chrome/Edge <94, Firefox <130, Safari ≤16.3, Internet Explorer) cannot run the converter at all. Mobile browser support is improving but inconsistent, so a desktop or laptop is recommended for batch work.
