Extracting audio from a video means separating the sound so you can save it as a standalone file, such as an MP3. This is useful if you want to keep a song, speech, or background sound without the video itself. Here is how to extract audio from video.
Using a Computer Program (e.g. VLC Media Player)
VLC Media Player is a free, trusted tool that can extract audio from video.
- Open VLC Media Player.
- Click on “Media” at the top left, then choose “Convert/Save…”.
- In the popup window, click “Add” and select your video file.
- Click “Convert/Save” at the bottom.
- Under “Profile”, choose “Audio – MP3” or another audio format.
- Click “Browse” to select where to save the audio file.
- Click “Start” to begin extracting. The file will be saved without the video.
Using an Online Tool
If you don’t want to install anything, you can use a free website like audio-extractor.net or clideo.com:
- Visit the website.
- Upload your video file.
- Choose the audio format (like MP3).
- Click “Extract” or “Convert”.
- Wait for the process to complete, then download your audio file.
Using a Mobile App
On Android or iPhone, search for apps like “Video to MP3 Converter” or “MP3 Extractor” in your app store. These apps usually let you:
- Choose a video from your phone.
- Tap to convert or extract.
- Save the audio to your music or downloads folder.
