Remove the sound from a video before you share it: background chatter, wind noise, copyrighted music or a private conversation. Choose the video, click "Remove audio" and download a silent copy in the same format, ready to post or to add new music to in your video editor.
The picture is copied as it is, without re-encoding, so the muted video has exactly the same quality as the original and is usually ready in a few seconds, even for long recordings. Like all ToolOrca video tools, it runs in your browser with FFmpeg, so the video never leaves your device.
How to use the Mute Video tool
- Choose an MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV or AVI video.
- Wait a moment while the file is read (the first time, the video engine loads).
- Click "Remove audio".
- Play the silent preview and click Download.

Why remove audio from a video?
Silent videos are useful for social media posts with background music added by the app, for product demos and presentations, for avoiding copyright claims on music playing in the background, and for privacy when people were talking nearby. Removing the sound also makes the file a little smaller.
Keep only the sound instead
Want the opposite? Video to MP3 saves the sound track and drops the picture. To shorten the video as well, use the video trimmer.
Frequently asked questions
Does muting change the video quality?

Can I mute only part of a video?
This tool removes the whole sound track. To keep only a part of the video, trim it first.
Which formats can I mute?
MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, MKV, AVI, 3GP and most other video formats.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The sound is removed on your device in your browser.
