Quick Guide to Removing Audio from Video on Desktop, Mobile, and Online

Creating a birthday montage for a friend? First step: mute the original audio and layer your chosen soundtrack. Below you’ll find reliable methods to remove audio from video, whether you’re editing on a computer, phone, or purely online.

1. Remove Audio Using Desktop Editing Software

Wondershare Filmora is a cross‑platform editor that runs on Mac, Windows, and mobile. It offers robust audio controls—mute, delete, or tweak sound—while keeping the visual flow intact.

Filmora’s lightweight design makes it ideal for content creators, marketers, and hobbyists alike. Two primary ways to silence sound:

Mute the Entire Clip

1. Launch Filmora and sign in.
2. Create a new project and import your video.
3. Drag the clip to the timeline, right‑click it, and choose Mute.
4. To mute only part of the clip, place the playhead at the start of the segment, tap the scissors icon to split, repeat at the end, then right‑click the segment and select Mute.

Delete the Audio Track

1. Import the video and add it to the timeline.
2. Right‑click the clip and choose Detach Audio—two tracks appear.
3. Right‑click the audio track and select Delete to remove all sound.
4. For partial removal, split the audio track with the scissors icon, then delete the unwanted portion.

After editing, click Export to save or upload directly to platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Vimeo.

2. Remove Audio on Mobile Devices

The Filmora mobile app (available on Google Play and the Apple App Store) delivers the same powerful features in a streamlined format. It’s ideal for on‑the‑go editing.

1. Open the app, start a new project, and import your video.
2. Select the clip on the timeline and tap Volume → Mute to silence the whole clip.
3. To mute a section, split the clip with the split icon, then mute the desired segment.
4. Alternatively, tap Extract Audio, delete the audio track, or remove a segment by splitting and pressing the trash icon.

3. Remove Audio Using an Online Tool

If you prefer not to install software, AudioRemover offers a quick, browser‑based solution. It supports MP4, AVI, WMV, and MOV files up to 500 MB.

1. Navigate to the AudioRemover website.
2. Click Browse to select your file.
3. Press Upload Video and wait for processing.
4. Download the muted video, then optionally delete the file from the server.
