How to Remove Audio from Video Online
Need a silent video for social media, a presentation, or a GIF conversion? FastEdit includes a Keep Audio toggle for video exports. Turn it off, make any other edits, and export a silent file locally in your browser with no upload.
Walkthrough
- 01
Open FastEdit
Go to fastedit.net. No account or installation needed. The editor runs in your browser.
- 02
Drop your video file
Drag and drop your video onto the editor. Supports MP4, MOV, WebM, and other formats. The file loads locally. Nothing is uploaded.
- 03
Turn off Keep Audio
In the export settings, disable Keep Audio. The export will contain only the video track.
- 04
Make any other edits
Trim, crop, add blur regions, or change the format, all optional. Keep Audio stays off for the export.
- 05
Choose output format
Select your output format. MP4 (H.264) for universal compatibility, WebM for web use, or GIF/WebP for animated image formats that never have audio.
- 06
Export your silent video
Click Export. The output file contains only the video track. No audio data. This also means the file is slightly smaller than it would be with audio.
Small things worth checking
- Turn off Keep Audio when you want a silent MP4 or WebM export.
- Removing audio reduces file size. Audio in video files typically accounts for 64-128 kbps. For a 60-second clip, that is 480KB-960KB saved.
- FastEdit does not currently support muting only part of a video. Audio pass-through is all-or-nothing for the export.
- For social media (Instagram Reels, TikTok), silent videos are common since most users browse with sound off. Many creators add text overlays instead of relying on audio.
- When converting to GIF, WebP, or APNG, audio is impossible by definition: these are image formats. No special setting needed.
