About this tool
Mute video removes the sound track from a clip and keeps the picture exactly as it was. It suits footage with wind or background chatter, screen recordings, clips that will get new music, and videos that you want to share without any audio.
The picture stream is copied as-is with no re-encoding, so the job is fast and there is no loss in quality. The result keeps the container of the original file, so an MP4 stays an MP4. Everything runs in your browser through FFmpeg, and the video never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions
Is the video quality reduced?
No. The picture is copied into a new file without being compressed again, so every frame stays the same.
Can I bring the sound back later?
Not from the muted file, because the audio is left out of it. Keep your original video if you may need the sound.
Why does the first mute need a download?
The first job loads the FFmpeg engine of about 32 MB into the browser. It is cached afterward, and later jobs start at once.
What happens if the video has no sound?
The tool still creates a new file and shows a note that the original has no audio track.
Is my video uploaded to remove the audio?
No. The file is read into your browser, processed by FFmpeg running on your device, and offered back as a download.
