FileFryer Video to Audio Extractor
Extract soundtracks, music, and speech from any video into MP3, WAV, AAC, or OGG with custom bitrates and instant local download.
Extract Pristine Audio & Music from Any Video File
Convert video files (MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI) into standalone audio files (MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A, OGG) directly in your browser. Perfect for saving podcasts, speech, background music, or sound effects with zero cloud uploads.
Multi-Format Audio Output
Extract to universal <strong>MP3</strong> for maximum device compatibility, studio-grade <strong>WAV</strong> for uncompressed fidelity, modern <strong>AAC / M4A</strong> for Apple and mobile devices, or <strong>OGG</strong> for web audio.
Custom Bitrate & Sample Rate
Take full control over audio quality. Choose bitrates from 128 kbps (compact voice/podcasts) up to 320 kbps (high-fidelity music), and toggle between 44.1 kHz (CD quality) and 48 kHz (film/broadcast).
Integrated Audio Trimming
Don't need the entire soundtrack? Use the built-in dual-range scrubber to extract only the specific song, quote, or segment you want without installing bulky DAW software.
100% Privacy & Zero Uploads
Unlike online converters that transfer your gigabytes of confidential footage to remote servers, FileFryer decodes and encodes audio completely offline in your local browser sandbox.
Stereo & Mono Channel Modes
Preserve rich stereo panning for musical performances, or downmix to crisp mono to cut file sizes in half for spoken lectures, interviews, voice memos, and meetings.
Instant Built-in Audio Player
Listen to your extracted audio immediately in the browser before saving. Preview volume, clarity, and timing with zero wait time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about browser-based video audio extraction.
Is there any file size limit for video extraction?
Because FileFryer operates 100% on your local machine using your browser's hardware memory and Web Audio API, there are no arbitrary upload limits or server queues. You can extract audio from large multi-gigabyte recordings as long as your device has sufficient RAM.
Will the audio quality decrease during extraction?
If you choose WAV, the audio is exported as uncompressed 16-bit PCM, guaranteeing zero loss of fidelity compared to the original video soundtrack. If you choose MP3 or AAC at 256 kbps or 320 kbps, the quality is acoustically transparent to human ears.
Can I extract audio from videos filmed on an iPhone or Android phone?
Yes! All standard smartphone camera recordings (including .mov and .mp4 recorded on iOS and Android) are fully supported.
Can I trim out unwanted silence or applause?
Yes. You can toggle the trimming slider to pick exact start and end timestamps so you only extract the relevant audio segment.
Are my original video files modified during extraction?
No. Your original video file remains completely untouched on your device. FileFryer decodes the audio track into memory and generates a brand new audio file for download.
Can I extract audio when working completely offline without internet?
Yes! Once the FileFryer web page is loaded, the entire audio extraction engine runs client-side inside your browser sandbox and works with zero active internet connection.
