Features of network services for extracting audio from a video file
Most of the sites on the Internet that allow you to separate audio and video are video converters that transform one video format into another. Among their capabilities is a function for working with sound, which makes it possible to separate music from video online and download the resulting audio file to a PC.
In most of these services, you can choose in which audio format (mp3, wav, ogg, flac, etc.) to download the resulting file. The most advanced sites allow you to select the bitrate, thereby directly adjusting the quality of the resulting sound. All services described in this article for extracting music and videos online are free.
They are very easy to use:
- Upload your video to the site.
- Select the final audio file format.
- Click on “Convert” (or an analogue button).
- To download the result, click on “Save” (Download).
Let's look at a list of resources that allow you to cut a music track from a video online.

Here the work scheme is also extremely simple. After launching the application, click the “Edit Video” button, select a file and move to the editing panel. Here, again, you will be offered to apply various effects or even inscriptions, but we should go to the “Sound” tab. In this tab, press the "Music" key and you will see the "Remove original sound" option. Feel free to click on this option and save the video. By the way, if you want to make an animated “gif” from a video (and the program also has such a function), then it is not necessary to delete the sound in advance.

Programs for extracting the original audio track
The described methods are good for everyone, but they are not suitable for extracting the original audio track from a video, i.e. without conversion and loss of quality. Although, if you choose a bitrate of 320 kbps, then “quality loss” is just a formality. It is impossible to hear this with the ear. Here I see the disadvantage more in the conversion time, which is noticeable with videos lasting 10 minutes or more.
There are programs for extracting the original sound, and they do it faster, because... the processor does not need to convert the audio to another format. But for each format you will have to use a separate program.
From high quality movie and clip format - MKV
To extract audio from MKV video, download and install the MKVToolNix utility. Launch mkvmerge GUI
First, add your movie or clip. Then, in the “Tracks, Chapters and Tags” list, you need to uncheck all the tracks except the one you want to save. The very first one from the top is the video itself (as written in brackets), then there are audio and subtitles (if any). There are usually several audio tracks, there may be different languages, translations and quality (Dolby Digital, DTS, MP3). If you don’t know what kind of road you need, export everything and delete the unnecessary ones.
Next, select the saving path below and click “Start processing.” When the process is complete, look for audio files in the specified folder. Here I would like to note that the extracted tracks will most likely have the extension “.mka”. If there are problems with their playback on various devices or players, change the extension of Dolby Digital format tracks to “.ac3” or “.wav” (household DVD players send the stream to the receiver, and it understands that it is DD). DTS audio can be renamed to ".dts" or ".wav".
If you use this utility often, I advise you to download a small add-on for it, MKVExtractGUI. The archive must be unpacked into the folder with the MKVToolNix program and run the file “MKVExtractGUI2.exe”
Here the interface is simpler and you can immediately see what language the soundtrack is in.
For AVI format
For this good old format there is a program called AVI-Mux GUI. No installation required, you just need to unpack the folder from the archive and run the file “AVIMux_GUI.exe”
Now:
- To add your clip, you need to drag it with the mouse from Explorer to the top window of the program
- Next, you need to click on the clip so that it is highlighted, and click the “generate data source from files” button
- The program will scan all available tracks and display them in the window. You need to find the audio track you want (they start with the word "audio")
- Right-click on it and select “extract binary” from the menu
- We indicate where to save
Here's a simple plan of action. By the way, as it turned out, AVIMux works with some MKV files too.
Video MP4, WEBM, HEVC
This is one of the most popular formats; for it we download the “MP4.tool” utility. No installation is required, it starts immediately after unpacking, but for some time it may seem that the program is not working. The operating procedure is as follows:
- Transfer the video to the MP4.tool window
- Go to the “Extract” tab
- Select by tick which audio track to cut
- Path to save in the “SavePath” field
- Leave the switch in the “extract raw” position (copy a clean track, “as is”)
- Click “Start Job”.
The music track will be saved to the specified path in an appropriate container format (I have AAC LC 5.1). Using MP4.tool you can also cut and save only the video separately. Many formats are supported: MP4, WEBM, 3GP, VOB, VC1, H264, H265, AVC, HEVC.
For FLV
With this format everything is very simple - download FLVExtract, unpack the archive and run “FLVExtract.exe”
In the window, leave only the “Audio” checkbox and drag your clip from the explorer with the mouse. The audio file will appear in the same folder.
