How to remove the sound from a video
Updated 21 October 2026
Tool for this guide: Mute video
Short answer: open mute video, add one or more videos and press Remove sound. The picture is copied as it is, so there's no quality loss and it takes seconds. An MP4 stays an MP4.
Step by step
- Open mute video and add MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM or other videos.
- Press Remove sound. No settings are needed.
- Download the silent video, or a ZIP of several.
It runs in your browser with ffmpeg, so your video is never uploaded. Files up to about 120 MB work best.
Why mute a video?
- Background noise, wind or private conversations in the recording.
- Copyrighted music that would get the video blocked on social media.
- Silent clips for websites, presentations and background videos, which also autoplay more reliably in browsers.
- Adding your own soundtrack or voice-over in an editor later.
