Extract the audio track from any video file.

About Extract Audio

Pull the audio track out of any video file and save it in your preferred format. Whether you want to grab the soundtrack from a music video, extract a podcast from a screen recording, or save a lecture's audio for offline listening, CocoConvert handles it instantly.

Choose from five output formats: MP3 for maximum compatibility, AAC (M4A) for high quality at small size, WAV for lossless audio, FLAC for lossless archiving at smaller file sizes, or OGG for open-source compatibility.

The extraction engine uses FFmpeg's codec-copy mode when the output format matches the video's embedded audio codec — resulting in instant, lossless extraction. When transcoding is needed, FFmpeg applies its best-quality encoder for the target format.

Supports MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, WebM, FLV, WMV, and M4V input. Processing runs on dedicated servers in Germany with automatic 60-minute cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which format should I choose?

MP3 for maximum device compatibility, AAC for best quality-to-size ratio, WAV for lossless editing, FLAC for lossless archiving, or OGG for open-source workflows.

Is the extraction lossless?

If the video already contains audio in your chosen format (e.g., AAC audio in an MP4), CocoConvert extracts it without re-encoding — bit-for-bit lossless. Otherwise, it transcodes at the highest quality settings.

Can I extract audio from a YouTube video?

CocoConvert processes files you upload — it does not download from URLs. You would need to first download the video file, then upload it here.
