1Upload the videos you want the soundtrack out of.
2There is nothing to choose: the soundtrack is saved as an MP3 file.
3Run the extraction; the audio is encoded to MP3 and the picture is left out.
4Download the audio file; multi-track sources give you the first track, so check it if the source was a rip.
Extract Audio from Video FAQ
Does the video container affect extraction?
+
It does. this format is read and written by the same streaming pipeline as everything else we support. The container determines how the audio is stored and therefore whether it can be lifted out without touching it.
Anything specific to Video here?
+
Yes — the container and codec are probed before anything runs, so mixed uploads in one batch are handled per file. Useful context when a file has more than one audio stream.
How does Extract Audio from Video get the audio out?
+
Concretely, the audio track is demuxed from whichever container you uploaded, and copied through untouched whenever the codec already suits your chosen output. What you get back is an audio file containing the original soundtrack, not a re-recording of it.
Which video formats does Extract Audio from Video accept?
+
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, M4V, MPEG and MPG. Each file is probed for its real container and codec before anything runs, so a mixed batch is handled correctly file by file.
Is there a file size limit on Extract Audio from Video?
+
Yes: free accounts process video up to 40 MB per file whichever container you brought; ffmpeg with x264, x265 and libvpx does the encoding. It is high enough that upload speed is usually the binding constraint rather than the cap itself.
Why would a modern-format site run Extract Audio from Video?
+
WEBP.to is built around the modern replacement for both of the old defaults: one format that does lossy, lossless, alpha and animation, and reliably lands smaller than the JPEG or PNG it came from. People arrive here having decided the old defaults are costing them bandwidth, and that decision immediately raises the rest: what size, what quality, what happens to the transparency. Extract Audio from Video is on the same upload and the same account so those questions get answered in one place.
Once Extract Audio from Video has run, what is worth doing next?
+
The converter on this site moves images to and from WebP, PNG, JPG and AVIF, which is where you decide whether a smaller file is worth losing the older browsers. Doing it in that order matters: pick the pixels first and the container afterwards, because the container is the cheap decision and the pixels are the expensive one.
Do the sibling sites run something different?
+
The engines are identical — same libraries, same workers, same caps. What is different is the opinion attached, and the opinion here rests on a property of the format this site is named after: the same .webp extension can hold a lossy VP8 frame, a lossless one, or an animation, so the sensible processing path is decided per file rather than per extension.
What happens to my file, and is an account required?
+
No account is needed. Uploads and results are kept for about 24 hours, which leaves time to download the result, and are then deleted automatically; nobody reads, lists or indexes them. Several files in one job need a paid plan.
