How to extract the audio from a video
You have a video but you want the sound on its own — to keep a voice memo, save a piece of music, isolate the commentary from a gameplay recording. Here is how to extract the audio track and save it as an MP3, free, in your browser, with no install and no upload.
Open fqmp3 →Works with any video the browser can read
Drop an MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM or AVI onto fqmp3. It reads the audio track locally and shows it as a waveform, so you can isolate exactly the segment you want — a single line of dialogue, a song, a clean stretch of commentary.
Trim to the segment you want
Use the waveform handles to set the start and end. This is handy for pulling one usable take out of a long recording, or grabbing just the music bed from a longer video.
Save it as an MP3
Pick a bitrate and download. The extraction uses libmp3lame via FFmpeg.wasm and runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no signup, no watermark on the audio.
How to do it, step by step
- Open fqmp3. Go to yarimati.com/fqmp3 — no signup or install.
- Drop the video. Drag any video file onto the page; it stays on your machine.
- Find the segment. Use the waveform to set IN/OUT around the audio you want.
- Pick a bitrate. Choose 128–320 kbps for the quality you need.
- Download the MP3. Export and the audio file downloads.
The audio is extracted and encoded in your browser via FFmpeg.wasm. The video you drop never uploads to a server.
