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

  1. Open fqmp3. Go to yarimati.com/fqmp3 — no signup or install.
  2. Drop the video. Drag any video file onto the page; it stays on your machine.
  3. Find the segment. Use the waveform to set IN/OUT around the audio you want.
  4. Pick a bitrate. Choose 128–320 kbps for the quality you need.
  5. Download the MP3. Export and the audio file downloads.
Nothing uploaded.

The audio is extracted and encoded in your browser via FFmpeg.wasm. The video you drop never uploads to a server.
