What this tool does

Remove audio (mute) drops or zeroes audio tracks while keeping the video stream for download.

Useful for silent previews, kiosk loops, or clips that must stay picture-only.

  • FFmpeg workers — Remove audio (mute) uses demux, encode, and mux steps on our video stack—trim, merge, extract audio, burn subtitles, or strip tracks without a local NLE.
  • No editor install — Open a current browser on Windows, macOS, or Linux; the heavy timeline work runs remotely.
  • Pair with converters — Need MP4 from MOV first? Run a converter, then return here for mute, trim, or subtitles.

How to use Remove audio (mute)?

  1. Upload — choose the file (or files, if the tool allows multiple) in the supported formats listed on this page.
  2. Configure — set options such as trim ranges, subtitle files, or audio handling using the fields above.
  3. Run and download — submit the job, wait for processing, then download your result before the automatic expiry window.

Why use Remove audio (mute)?

Remove audio (mute) removes narration bleed from screen captures, prepares kiosk loops with zero audio, and ships picture-only cuts to audio teams later.

Video pixels continue; decoders simply find no playable sound.
