Is the video quality affected by removing audio?

No. We copy the video stream directly without re-encoding — the video bytes are identical to the original. Only the audio track is discarded. The resulting file will be slightly smaller than the original (by the size of the audio data), with identical visual quality.

Why would I need a muted video?

Common uses: (1) Website background videos — browsers require `muted` attribute for autoplay, and a truly silent video is often cleaner than one with audio. (2) Social media posts where you'll add your own music in the platform's editor. (3) Presentations and screencasts where background noise from the recording should be removed. (4) Privacy — removing audio that contains conversations before sharing a video.

Does this work with MOV files from an iPhone?

Yes. iPhone MOV files (HEVC codec) are supported. However, since the video stream is copied without re-encoding, the output will be an MP4 container with HEVC video — which may not play on all devices. For maximum compatibility, convert to MOV to MP4 first (which re-encodes to H.264), then mute if needed.

Can I remove only a specific audio track and keep others?

This tool removes all audio tracks. For selective audio track removal from multi-track video (e.g., removing commentary but keeping music), you'd need a dedicated video editor or FFmpeg directly.

Is there a size limit for the input video?

Up to 500 MB. Since the video is copied without re-encoding, even large files process quickly — typically under 30 seconds for files under 500 MB. The bottleneck is reading/writing the file, not encoding.

How to use this tool

Upload your video
Drop an MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM file. The video track is extracted and the audio is discarded — no quality settings needed.
Click Convert
The video stream is copied directly into a new MP4 container without re-encoding. This is very fast — muting a 1 GB video takes only a few seconds because the video data itself isn't touched.
Download the muted MP4
The resulting file is a standard MP4 with no audio tracks. Play it in any video player or upload it to social media — it will be completely silent.
Add new audio (optional)
To add a different audio track to your muted video, use a video editor like iMovie, DaVinci Resolve (free), or CapCut. Import the muted MP4 and layer your music or voiceover.
