How it works
- Drop your video file. MP4, MOV, M4V, WEBM, MKV or AVI up to 2 GB — it is read locally, nothing is uploaded.
- Remove the sound. The video stream is copied as-is and the audio track is simply left out — no re-encoding, so it takes seconds.
- Preview and download. Check the silent result right in the page, then save it — same container, same image quality, smaller file.
Features
- Zero quality loss. The image is never decoded or re-encoded — the video stream is copied bit for bit, only the audio track is dropped.
- Seconds, not minutes. Because nothing is re-encoded, muting a video is a remux — even a long 4K clip is done almost instantly.
- Same container in, same container out. MP4 stays MP4, WEBM stays WEBM, MKV stays MKV — plus the faststart flag on MP4/MOV so playback starts instantly on the web.
- Up to 2 GB, 100% local. Your video never leaves your computer — everything runs in your browser with ffmpeg.wasm.
FAQ
Is this video muter free?
Yes. Anonymous users get 5 free uses per day across AudioKit's free tools — no account needed. A use is only counted when you launch the processing; loading the video and reading its info is free. AudioKit Premium removes the daily limit.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video is read and processed entirely in your browser with ffmpeg.wasm — even a 2 GB file never leaves your machine. The only network call is a tiny anonymous counter that tracks your daily free quota.
Does removing the audio lower the video quality?
No — that is the whole point of this tool. The video stream is copied bit for bit into a new file without the audio track: no re-encoding, zero generation loss, and the operation takes seconds even on large files. The output is often noticeably smaller too, since the audio track is gone.
Why mute a video for Spotify Canvas?
Spotify Canvas loops are always played silent, and Canvas rejects files over 8 MB — dropping the audio track is a free size win that changes nothing visually. If you also need to cut your clip to the 3–8 second window, use our Cover video tool, which has a dedicated Canvas preset.
Which video formats are supported?
MP4, MOV, M4V, WEBM, MKV and AVI, up to 2 GB. The output keeps the same container as the input — an MP4 stays an MP4, a WEBM stays a WEBM — and MP4/MOV files get the faststart flag so they start playing instantly on the web.
