Does the video file get uploaded to extract the audio?

No — ffmpeg.wasm decodes and re-encodes the file locally in your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server at any point.

Will a long video be slow to process, especially on mobile?

Audio-only extraction is much lighter than video re-encoding, but a phone browser still has less memory and CPU than a laptop — for very long recordings, a desktop browser will finish noticeably faster.

Can I extract just one audio track from a multi-track video?

Yes, the advanced panel lets you pick the audio track index if the video contains more than one.

What's the difference between MP3, FLAC and Opus here?

MP3 and AAC are compact and universally compatible; FLAC is lossless but larger; Opus gives the smallest files at a given quality, which suits speech and voice recordings well.

Can I add title/artist tags to the extracted file?

Yes — the metadata group lets you set title, artist, album, year, genre, track number and comment before exporting.

About extract audio from video

Extract audio from video pulls the soundtrack out of an MP4, MOV, WebM or other video file and re-encodes it as MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, OGG or Opus, with bitrate, sample rate, trimming, fades, EQ-adjacent filters and metadata tags all in your control.

Because it runs on ffmpeg.wasm inside this tab, a lecture recording, podcast video or personal clip never has to be sent anywhere just to save its audio track.
