About removing sound here
The audio track is left out of the new file and the picture is copied across without being decoded, so this is one of two things on the site that finishes in about a second no matter how long the clip is. Every frame you get back is bit for bit the frame you started with.
Muting a clip in a player only affects that player. Removing the track means the sound genuinely isn't in the file any more, which is what you want before sharing something recorded somewhere with a conversation going on in the background.
Common questions
Is the remove sound from a video free?
Yes, properly free. No paid tier, no trial, no watermark on the result and nothing to sign up for. Put as many files through it as you like, as often as you like.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The remove sound from a video runs inside your browser, on your own machine, so your files never go anywhere. Big ones are fine too, up to whatever your browser can hold.
Does removing the sound reduce the video quality?
Not at all. The picture is copied into the new file without being decoded or encoded, so every frame is identical to the one you started with. The only thing that changes is that the audio track isn't there any more, which also makes the file a little smaller. It's the fastest edit on the site for the same reason.
Is this different from muting the video in a player?
Yes, and the difference matters. Muting in a player is a setting on that player, and anyone who opens the file elsewhere hears the sound as normal. This removes the audio track from the file itself, so there is nothing left to play. That's what you want before sending on a clip recorded where something private was being said.
