Extract Audio from Video
Save the soundtrack of a video as a standalone audio file. AAC tracks are copied without re-encoding (lossless, instant); other codecs are converted to WAV.
Zero quality loss
The AAC stream is copied bit-for-bit into an .m4a container — no decode, no re-encode, no generation loss.
Instant
Because nothing is re-encoded, even long videos finish in a couple of seconds.
Private
Demuxing happens in your browser's memory. The video never leaves your device.
How to extract audio from a video
- Open the tool and add your video. Open Pixlane Extract Audio from Video and drop your MP4 or MOV (or choose a file). It loads instantly and is processed on your device — nothing is uploaded.
- Adjust. Confirm the audio track — it is copied out losslessly to M4A (or converted to WAV).
- Export and download. Click Extract audio and download the result — free, no watermark, no signup.
Frequently asked questions
M4A or WAV — which will I get?
If the video's audio is AAC (almost every phone/camera MP4), you get a lossless .m4a. Anything else is decoded to a universal .wav.
Can I extract just a section?
Trim the video first with Trim Video, then extract — both steps are lossless for AAC.
Does it work with MOV files?
Yes, MOV/MP4 share the same container family.
Can I extract audio from a YouTube link?
No — Pixlane works on files already on your device, not URLs. Download the video first, then drop it in.
What audio formats can I get?
Lossless M4A for AAC sources (almost every phone and camera video), or a universal WAV when the source codec isn't AAC.
