# Remove the Sound From a Video

Take out background noise, private conversations or copyrighted music before you share. The picture is copied as it is, so it takes seconds and the quality does not change.

## How to use it

1. Choose or drop one or more videos.
2. Press Remove sound.
3. Check the silent video on the page.
4. Download it or send it with a link.

## Instant, because nothing is re-encoded

The sound track is dropped and the video stream is copied byte for byte into a new file of the same type. That is why even a large 4K video is done in seconds, and why the picture is identical to the original. The file also gets a little smaller, by the size of the sound track.

## Common reasons to mute

- Posting a clip where copyrighted music would get it blocked.
- Sharing footage with voices or background talk you would rather keep private.
- Stock footage, B-roll and product loops that are meant to be silent.

Want the sound on its own instead? [Extract the audio](https://sharelargefilesfree.com/tools/extract-audio-from-video) as an MP3.

## Works with any browser that plays video

Because nothing is decoded or encoded, muting works in every current browser and with every video codec, including iPhone HEVC and ProRes MOV files that other browser tools cannot open. Your video stays on your device; send the silent version with a link when it is ready, free up to 20 GB.
