How it works
Drop a video file in and pick MP3, WAV, or AAC.
WavyVid strips the audio track and encodes it in your chosen format, right in your browser.
Download the audio file — the original video is never modified or uploaded.
Pulling audio out of a video is one of the most common small edits — grabbing a voiceover to reuse, turning a talking-head video into a podcast episode, or getting a music clip out of a video file. MP3 is the smallest and most universally compatible; WAV is uncompressed and best if you're taking the audio into further editing; AAC is a compact, high-quality middle ground.
Frequently asked questions
Which format should I choose?
MP3 for general sharing and compatibility, WAV if you plan to edit the audio further (no compression artifacts to compound), AAC for a good quality-to-size balance.
Does this work on audio files too, or only video?
It's built for video, but audio-only files work as a straightforward format conversion too.
Is the original video file changed?
No — the video file is only read locally to extract its audio; nothing about it is modified, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Is there a quality loss extracting to MP3/AAC?
Some, since both are lossy formats — pick WAV if the audio needs to survive multiple further edits with as little compounding loss as possible.
