How to Extract Audio from a Video

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?

• MP3 — compressed and small. Best for sharing, podcasts, and music players.
• WAV — uncompressed and lossless, but much larger. Best if you'll edit the audio further.
