How to mute a video
- Drop your video here.
- The audio track is removed automatically.
- Download the silent video.
What happens to the file when you mute it
The audio track is dropped and the video track is left alone. Since the output uses the same container format you dropped in, most videos need no re-encoding at all: the picture data is copied as is, just without the audio, which is why muting is fast even on longer videos.
Mute vs rotate video
This tool also handles rotation, since both are quick fixes that don't need a full editor.
| Mute video | Rotate video | |
|---|---|---|
| Removes | The audio track only | Nothing, it changes orientation |
| Re-encode needed | Almost never | Only for WebM and MKV files |
| Reversible later | No, download a copy first if unsure | No, download a copy first if unsure |
When to mute a video
- Mute a screen recording before sharing it if it picked up notification sounds or typing noise you don't want in the final file.
- Mute clips you plan to use as a silent background loop on a website, since autoplay video is usually required to be silent anyway.
- Mute footage before adding your own voiceover or licensed music in a video editor, so the original audio doesn't clash underneath.
- If you're not sure you'll want the sound removed permanently, keep the original file and only share the muted copy.
Mute video FAQ
Does this lower the video quality?
No. The output keeps the same container as the file you dropped, so the picture is normally copied without re-encoding, and quality stays exactly the same.
What if my video already has no sound?
You get the same video back with no audio track, which is the expected result.
Which video formats can I mute?
MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV all work. The output keeps the same container as the file you dropped, so an MOV in gives you a silent MOV out.
Can I mute several videos at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like and download them one by one, or grab them all together as a ZIP.
Can I get the audio back afterward?
No. Once the audio track is removed and you download the file, it's gone from that copy. Keep the original video if you might need the sound later.
Does muting change the resolution or length?
No. Only the audio track is removed. The video frames, resolution and length are untouched.
Can I paste a video instead of dragging the file?
Yes. Copy the file and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac) anywhere on this page.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Muting happens on your own device in your browser.
