Mute a Video — Drop Audio, Keep Picture
Remove every audio track from a demonstration or screen recording before sharing a silent MP4. The operation attempts to copy the video stream while omitting audio, rather than selectively editing sounds.

How to use this tool
Choose the video and retain an original copy. There is no control for removing only one speaker or one interval, so use this when losing background music and all other audio is acceptable.
Results and examples
Play the resulting MP4 to confirm its picture, duration and lack of sound. An incompatible video codec can prevent container copying, and muting does not conceal information visible in the frames.
Worked example
Remove all sound, including notification noises, from a screen-recording MP4. Process a twenty-second narrated demo, then check the picture and duration and confirm the audio track is absent.
Limitations
- It cannot selectively remove speech, music or notifications while retaining other sounds.
- Video is copied, so a codec incompatible with the MP4 container may fail.
Data handling
Processing stays in the current browser tab; the site does not upload tool input for the calculation itself.
