Video Mute
Permanently strip the audio track from any video — without re-encoding the picture. The video stream is copied byte-for-byte and the audio is dropped, so the file shrinks slightly, completes in seconds, and loses zero visual quality.
How to use this tool
- 01
Upload your video
Drop in or choose any format FFmpeg supports — even multi-GB files work because the picture isn't decoded.
- 02
Click Mute
The audio track is dropped and the video is stream-copied at original quality — done in seconds.
- 03
Download the muted video
The original container is preserved; the file is modestly smaller and plays silent everywhere.
Why this matters
Stripping audio from a video is a constant chore — silent B-roll for another edit, a background loop for a stream, a clip that has to lose its copyrighted music or an accidental off-camera conversation before it goes out. The frustrating part is that most tools re-encode the whole video just to drop the sound, which wastes minutes on long files and needlessly degrades the picture.
This tool uses -c:v copy -an, so the encoded video is passed through untouched — zero quality loss, finished in seconds, original container preserved — and only the audio is dropped. If you need to keep that audio rather than discard it, pull it out first with the Video to MP3 converter, then mute the video here.
