Is this tool really free?

Yes, completely. There is no subscription, no trial period, and no hidden cost. You don't even need to create an account.

Do I need to install any software?

No. All processing happens locally on your device, directly in your browser. Your file is never sent to or stored on any server.

What video formats are supported?

You can upload MP4, MOV, and WebM files. The maximum file size is 500 MB.

Is my video file uploaded to a server?

No. Your file is processed locally in your browser. It is not sent to any external server, which keeps your content private and your processing fast.

Can I trim the audio before downloading?

Yes, it is safe. Your file is processed securely. When your MKV and MP4 share compatible codecs, the converter repackages the existing video and audio streams into the MP4 container without rebuilding or reconstructing any of the underlying data.

What format will my audio file be in when I download it?

Your extracted audio will be downloaded as a clean, ready-to-use WAV file.

Is there a watermark on the downloaded audio?

No. Your downloaded audio file is clean and watermark-free.

What if my file is larger than 500 MB?

You will need to compress your video or split it into shorter segments before uploading. Free video compression tools are available online to help with this.

Tips for better results

Getting a clean audio file is straightforward, but a few small habits make a big difference.

Start with a high-quality source file

The audio in your exported file will only be as good as the audio in your original video. If the source recording has background noise or distortion, that will carry through to your download.

Use the trim tool to remove dead air

If your video has a few seconds of silence at the start or end, trim it before downloading. It saves you an extra editing step later.

Check your file size before uploading

Files up to 500 MB are supported. If your file is larger, compress the video first or split it into shorter segments.
