Overview

🎵 Video to Audio — turn any video into a clean MP3, M4A or WAV in seconds. Free, private, and fully offline. Video to Audio is the simplest way to convert video to audio right inside Chrome. Open the side panel, drop a video file, pick a format, and download. No uploads, no accounts, no waiting in queues, no file-size limits. Whether you need video to audio for a podcast, transcription, background music, language learning, or to grab the soundtrack of a lecture — this tool handles it in seconds. 🚀 The best video to audio converter for Chrome 🔹 100% local processing — your files never leave your computer 🔹 Lives in the side panel — your work stays visible while you convert 🔹 Drag and drop any common video format: MP4, MOV, MKV and more 🔹 Three output formats: MP3 (universal), M4A / AAC (best quality-to-size), WAV (lossless) 🔹 Choose your bitrate: 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps 🔹 Speaks 15 languages out of the box — auto-detects your browser language 🔹 No watermark on output, no metadata sneaked in 🎯 What you can do with Video to Audio ✅ Convert video to audio for podcast editing ✅ Pull the soundtrack from an interview, lecture, or webinar ✅ Extract music from a music video ✅ Get clean audio from screen recordings for transcription ✅ Save audio from videos you can play in your browser ✅ Build voice memos from recorded video calls ✅ Convert video to audio for use in presentations ✅ Strip audio from tutorials so you can listen on the go 🔒 Privacy first — truly offline video to audio Most online "video to audio" services upload your file to a remote server. Video to Audio doesn't. Every conversion happens inside your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is logged. There is no account, no sign-up, no email required. The extension asks for only two permissions — sidePanel (for the panel itself) and storage (to remember your preferred format and language). That is the entire permission list. 🎧 The three output formats explained 🔸 MP3 — the universal video to audio choice. Plays everywhere, small files, ideal for podcasts and casual listening. 🔸 M4A (AAC) — best quality-to-size ratio. Pick this when you want better fidelity than MP3 at the same file size, especially on Apple devices. 🔸 WAV — uncompressed, lossless. Choose WAV when the audio is going into a DAW or editor for further processing. ⚙️ How to convert video to audio with Video to Audio 1. Click the Video to Audio icon in your Chrome toolbar. 2. The side panel slides out from the right. 3. Drag a video into the drop zone, or click to browse. 4. Pick a format (MP3, M4A, WAV) and a bitrate. 5. Press Download. That's it — your audio file lands in your Downloads folder in seconds. 📚 Perfect for everyone who needs video to audio 🎓 Students — turn recorded lectures into MP3s you can listen to on a phone or smart speaker 🎙️ Podcasters — quickly extract video to audio from raw recordings or guest submissions before editing ✍️ Writers and journalists — pull video to audio from an interview so you can transcribe it with your favourite tool 🎼 Musicians — grab the audio track from a video performance, demo, or rehearsal 🧑‍💻 Developers — pull video to audio from a screen recording to build a tutorial soundtrack 📋 Researchers — keep an archive of conference talks as audio-only for easier reference 🎨 Content creators — re-use the audio of a clip you recorded earlier in a new edit 🌐 Anyone tired of sketchy online "video to audio" converters — get the same result, locally, without ads or uploads 🌍 15 languages built in The interface automatically follows your browser language: English, Русский, 中文, Español, हिन्दी, العربية, Português, Bahasa Indonesia, Français, 日本語, Deutsch, 한국어, Türkçe, Italiano and Polski. You can also pick a language manually from the dropdown in the side panel. 🛠️ Built on real FFmpeg Video to Audio uses the same FFmpeg engine that powers most professional video and audio tools, compiled to WebAssembly. That means the same broad format support — but without ever sending your file anywhere. No 25 MB upload limits. No "free trial". No watermarks. No ads. 💡 Why local video to audio matters Sensitive interviews. Confidential meetings. Personal recordings. Anything you wouldn't want sitting on a stranger's server. With Video to Audio every byte stays on your machine. The video to audio conversion happens inside the browser tab — close the panel and nothing is left behind. 🚀 Get started in 30 seconds Install Video to Audio, open the side panel, drop a video, and download the audio.
