Add your video
Drag in a video file — MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV. The file is read locally; nothing is uploaded.
Video → muted video
Mute video online and remove audio, free in your browser.
Drop a video and download a muted copy with the audio removed — no sign-up, nothing uploaded.
To mute a video online, drop an MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV here and this free tool removes the audio track and hands back the same video, silent. Need a quiet clip for a presentation, social post, or background loop? The video stream is copied untouched — no re-encode — so it's instant and full quality, and your file never leaves your device.
- No upload
- Runs 100% in your browser.
- No re-encode
- Original video quality, instantly.
- Whole or range
- Mute it all, or just a window.
How it works
Three steps from a video to a muted copy.
02
Remove the audio
By default we mute the whole video. The video stream is copied untouched and the audio track is dropped — no re-encode, so it's exact and lossless. Or switch on the optional range mode to silence just a selected window.
03
Preview & download
The muted video plays right on the page so you can check it, then download the silent copy to your device.
No re-encode
Lossless mute — your video is copied, not re-encoded.
Whole-file mute is exact and lossless. ffmpeg demuxes your file, drops the audio packets, and remuxes the video packets unchanged — the video stream is copied byte-for-byte, so there's no quality loss and the muted copy keeps the source container (mp4 in, mp4 out). It finishes near-instantly, even for a multi-minute clip.
The optional range mute is keyframe-accurate. Because nothing is re-encoded, silencing only a selected window can cut on packet/keyframe boundaries only, so the muted range can land up to about one GOP (a fraction of a second) from the exact time you typed. Frame-accurate, re-encode-based range silencing is not done here.
It removes the audio — it doesn't replace it. This tool makes the video silent; it doesn't lower the volume, fade, or add a new soundtrack. Want to keep the sound as its own file? Use Extract audio instead.
Why use it
Private, fast, and free.
Nothing is uploaded — your video is processed entirely on your device, so it stays private.
No re-encode means the mute is instant and the muted copy is full original video quality.
No account, no watermark, no install — it runs in the browser you already have open.
Need the words, not silence?
Turn the video into notes and a transcript.
If you want the words from a video, Video to Notes can transcribe it and write a summary, key points, and a timeline you can download. For YouTube links and longer videos, the Chrome extension does it right in your browser.
- Full transcript plus an AI summary
- Key points and a clickable timeline
- Export to Markdown, PDF, or HTML
FAQ
Mute video questions
How do I mute a video or remove audio from it online?
To mute a video, drop a video file onto the box at the top of this page or choose one, then select Remove audio. The audio track is removed in your browser and a muted copy is offered as a download — you can preview it on the page first. It works for MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV. By default the whole file is muted; you can optionally switch to silencing only a selected range.
Does muting re-encode or lower the quality of my video?
No. The whole-file mute copies the video stream untouched and simply drops the audio track (no re-encode), so the muted copy is byte-for-byte the original video quality in the same container, and it finishes near-instantly even for a multi-minute clip.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video stays on your device. The audio is removed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and the muted copy is returned straight to you as a download.
Can I silence only part of the video?
Yes. Switch on the optional range mode and set a start and end to silence only that window. Because nothing is re-encoded, the silenced range is keyframe-accurate — it can land up to about one GOP (a fraction of a second) from the exact time you typed. Frame-accurate range silencing is not done here.
What does muting do — does it lower the volume or replace the sound?
It removes the audio track entirely, so the video becomes silent. It does not lower the volume, fade, or replace the sound with a new soundtrack. If you want to keep the audio as a separate file instead, use the Extract audio tool.
Which video formats are supported, and is it free?
Common video files work — MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV — and the muted copy keeps the source's container (mp4 in, mp4 out). It's free with no sign-up, and because everything runs in your browser there's no usage limit. Files up to about 500 MB are supported.
