Take the sound out of a clip and keep the picture exactly as it was. Nothing is re-encoded: the audio and the video are separate tracks inside the file, so removing one is a matter of leaving it out. That makes it lossless, near-instant, and small enough to happen in a browser tab. The video is never uploaded.
1 · Your video
The picture is copied, not re-encoded, so it comes out exactly as it went in and it takes about as long as copying the file.
Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser reads the file and writes a new one, all locally. The site’s security policy sets connect-src ‘none’, so the browser blocks network requests from these pages, meaning the video could not be sent even if the code tried. That matters here because the clips people want to mute are usually clips with something on the soundtrack they would rather nobody heard.
Does the picture lose quality?
Not at all, and not in the way that phrase usually means. The video is not re-encoded: its data is copied across byte for byte, and only the audio track and its data are left out. What comes out is the same picture, and it happens about as fast as copying the file.
Why is it so much faster than other tools?
Because most of them re-encode the whole video to do a job that needs no encoding at all. A video file is a container holding separate tracks, and taking one out is a container operation. Re-encoding costs minutes and quality; leaving a track out costs neither.
What if the video has two soundtracks?
Both go. A clip can carry a second language or a commentary track, and removing only the first would leave the file still playing sound while telling you it had worked.
Which files does it take?
MP4 and MOV, which is what phones, cameras and screen recorders produce. Formats built on a different container, such as AVI or MKV, are not read.
