Extract an MP3 track from video

Ideal for podcasters, interviewers and editors who only need the spoken audio or music contained in an existing video file.

Separate the soundtrack from a video and save it as an MP3 track for listening, transcription, editing or reuse in another project.

How to use

Choose a video file in MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV or AVI format from your device.
Select the MP3 extraction option offered by the tool for the advanced engine.
Start the extraction and wait while the server-side processing completes.
Download the MP3 track and check its duration before using it in another project.

Example

A podcaster can pull the audio track from an MP4 interview and use the MP3 for transcription or a quick edit. After downloading, check that the voices are complete and that the MP3 plays from start to finish without gaps.

Limits and formats

The tool only extracts the existing soundtrack; it cannot isolate voices from music or remove background noise.
Source video formats are MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV and AVI, so other containers may need conversion first.
Files can be up to 512 MB, but a long or heavy video still depends on a stable connection and processing time.
The MP3 is not a finished master; check levels, cut points and usage rights before publishing.
The file and result are kept for at most 15 minutes by default, so download promptly.

Where processing happens

The video is uploaded and processed on the YOORfree server, with support for files up to 512 MB. It is handled in memory without disk writing on the gateway and deleted when the operation ends. The video and its result are kept for at most 15 minutes by default, then removed; names and contents are not logged, and no third party is involved.

Frequently asked questions

Which video formats can I upload for audio extraction?

The supported source formats are MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV and AVI. If your camera or phone uses a different container, convert the video to one of those formats before trying the extractor again.

Will the MP3 sound exactly like the original video audio?

MP3 compression can slightly reduce audio detail compared with the original soundtrack. For interviews, notes or rough edits it is usually practical, but keep a higher-quality source if you need a final master.

What happens if I do not download the result right away?

The uploaded video and the extracted result remain available for at most 15 minutes by default. After that they are deleted. If you miss the window, you need to upload the source video again.
