Frequently Asked Questions

Remove Audio is a set of browser tools for video and audio: remove the soundtrack, convert between formats, compress, extract the audio as MP3, and AI tools that remove the vocals, keep only the voice, extract a voice or clean background noise. Every tool runs on this device, in your browser, so your file stays with you; the same tools run in the Cloud on our servers for bigger files.

On this device, yes: free, no account, no watermarks and no daily quota. The limits are your device's memory and, for the AI tools, minutes of audio per file. The Cloud costs credits: one credit per started minute on any tool, and every new account gets 10 free credits, no card needed.

Every tool has a switch between This device and Cloud. In the Cloud the same tool runs on our own servers: up to 5 GB and 6 hours per file on most tools, faster than a laptop, and with the result kept for the period you choose. Use it when a file is over your device's limit, when a browser cannot run an AI model, or when you want it faster and stored.

One credit is one started minute of processing on any tool, so a 2:30 clip costs 3 credits. You start with 10 free credits. Credit packs are bought once and never expire; plans add a monthly allowance and can be cancelled at any time. When a Cloud job fails, its credits come back automatically.

It is uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers and kept, with the result, for the period you pick when you start the job: 24 hours by default, 7 days, 30 days, or until you delete it (30 days and longer come with a pack or plan). You can delete any job and its files at any time from your workspace, and nobody looks at your files.

In short: 1) Add your video (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, etc.). 2) Leave the switch on This device and press Process; it usually finishes in seconds, depending on your device and video length. 3) Preview the silent video. 4) Download the muted file.

There is no daily quota. On this device the limit is your browser's memory, so each tool shows how large a file this device can take, and the AI tools take up to 15 minutes of audio per file. In the Cloud most tools take up to 5 GB and 6 hours per file (the noise remover 500 MB and 1 hour), up to 20 files per batch.

The AI Vocal Remover, the Background Music Remover, the AI Voice Isolator and the AI Background Noise Remover. On this device they run their model in your browser: the separation model needs a browser with WebGPU and at least 8 GB of memory, the noise model runs in any modern browser. The first run downloads the model and your browser caches it. In the Cloud the same models run on our servers; that is what the switch is there for.

Removing or extracting the audio copies the video stream as it is, so you keep the original visual quality; a file that cannot be copied is re-encoded as a last resort. The converter keeps the picture untouched when its codec already fits the target format and re-encodes it otherwise. The compressor always re-encodes the picture, and says so. The AI tools replace the audio track and leave the picture as it was.

No installation needed. The tools run in your browser using WebAssembly, and the AI models download into the page the first time you run them. Just visit the site, choose your file and process it on desktop or mobile.

On this device your file is processed in your browser and is not sent to our servers. In the Cloud it is stored on our servers for the period you chose, then deleted. We collect basic analytics and small usage events (the tool, the file type and size, never the file or its name) to keep the site working. Details are in our Privacy Policy.

Not for the tools on this device. An account is needed only for the Cloud: it holds your credits and your workspace, where every Cloud job, its result and its files live until you delete them.

Yes. Every tool takes up to 20 files in one batch and one Process click. On this device they run one after another and you can download them individually or all together as a ZIP; in the Cloud a few run at a time and each result downloads from its own row.

Yes. The tools work in mobile browsers as they do on desktop, with lower memory limits on this device, which each tool shows. The separation models need WebGPU and at least 8 GB of memory, which most phones do not have; when a device cannot run a model, the tool tells you and the switch takes the file to the Cloud.

MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM and more, and audio files for the AI tools. The tool detects the format automatically, and the output typically matches your input for compatibility.

You keep ownership of your original content. Removing audio or separating a voice does not grant rights to copyrighted material. If a clip includes third-party audio or video, you still need the appropriate permissions.

There are many reasons: create silent autoplay videos for social, remove copyrighted music, eliminate background noise, prepare clips for voiceovers, make GIF-like content, meet platform rules, or when you only need the visuals.
