Sometimes you only want the sound — a song, an interview, a voice note, or a clip for a podcast. Instead of screen-recording or using a sketchy site, you can pull the audio straight out of a video file and save it as MP3 or WAV.

MP3 vs WAV — which to pick?

Extract it in your browser

  1. Open Vootkit's Audio Extractor and drop in your video.
  2. Choose MP3 or WAV.
  3. Click extract, then download the audio file.
Everything runs on your device — your video is never uploaded. The first MP3 export loads a tiny encoder, then it's instant after that.
