compressvid.ioStrip the sound from any video and download a clean MP4. Free, no watermark, nothing to install — the picture stays exactly as it is.
Need to cut a section instead? Open Trim Video
A clip that is perfect on screen can be ruined by background chatter, a copyrighted song, wind noise, or a private conversation that should not travel with the file. Muting strips the sound track and leaves the picture alone. Use it before posting to social, when a client only needs the visuals, or when you plan to drop in a voiceover later. Upload the video, press mute, download a clean MP4 — no watermark, nothing to install.
Each tool below solves a different problem. Pick the one that matches what you actually want.
| Task | What it does | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Mute video (this page) | Removes the audio track; picture and length stay the same | You want silence, not a shorter or smaller file |
| Trim video | Cuts the clip shorter; audio (if any) is cut with it | You only need a section of the timeline |
| Crop video | Reframes the picture; audio is untouched | The edges or aspect ratio are wrong |
| Compress video | Makes the file smaller to hit a size limit | Upload or send limits — sound can stay |
| Video to MP3 | Keeps the sound, discards the picture | You want the audio out of the video, not gone |
Muting re-encodes the picture to a standard MP4. Resolution, frame rate and duration stay the same; the file size usually drops a little because the audio stream is gone. Limits checked October 2026.
Three steps in the browser. No account needed for a first job.
Drop in an MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV or AVI. The preview loads so you can confirm it is the right clip before you process it.
One option, no settings to get wrong. The audio track is removed and the picture is encoded as a clean H.264 MP4.
Save the muted video and post, send, or edit it. No watermark, no account required for a first conversion.
Most mute jobs come from a handful of situations.
| Situation | Why mute helps | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Social clips with copyrighted music | Avoids takedowns and muted posts on Instagram / TikTok | Mute, then add licensed audio in the app if needed |
| Screen recordings with private talk | Removes names, passwords, or side conversations | Mute before sharing the walkthrough |
| B-roll for a voiceover edit | Gives a clean bed under your narration | Mute first, then mix the VO in your editor |
| GIF / silent autoplay embeds | Many players start muted anyway | Mute to save bandwidth and avoid double-audio |
| Noisy wind / handling noise | Noise is worse than silence for many posts | Mute, or strip audio then add a music bed later |
If you need the sound instead of removing it, use the Video to MP3 tool. If the clip is simply too loud, the Edit Audio tool can lower volume without deleting the track.
A focused one-job tool: remove audio, keep the video. It is deliberately smaller than a full editor so you can finish in under a minute.
Resolution, frame rate and length are preserved. You get the same clip, without the sound.
MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI and more. The export is always a standard MP4 that plays everywhere.
Guests can mute daily without signing in. Signed-in users get monthly credits for larger or more frequent jobs.
There is only one decision — which file. Everything else is defaults chosen for a safe, compatible output.
