Is muting different from turning the volume to 0?

Muting removes the audio track, so the file holds no audio data; turning the volume to 0 keeps a silent audio track. They sound the same, and the muted file is slightly smaller.

Can I mute just one part?

This page mutes the whole video. For control over parts, use volume keyframes in the full editor, down to specific seconds.

Can I remove the music but keep the voices?

Not on this site. Separating voices from background music needs a dedicated audio-separation model, and that is not available here.

Does muting affect the picture quality?

The picture is re-encoded once at "Standard" quality by default, never above the original bitrate, and the difference is normally invisible; choose "High" under "More settings" to keep more detail.

Does the file get smaller?

Usually: the audio is gone and the picture never exceeds the original bitrate. But because the picture is re-encoded, the saving is not exactly the size of the old audio track. The page shows an estimated size before you start.

Remove the sound from a video in one click and get a file with no audio track — handy for wind noise, background chatter or music you cannot use. Free, in your browser, no upload.

There are plenty of reasons to mute a video: too much wind on the mic, copyrighted music playing in the background, or a voice-over of your own to put in.

Drop a video in and press "Start": the audio track is removed completely and the result is silent. The format stays the same as the original (AVI becomes MP4); the picture is re-encoded once, and you can choose the quality under "More settings".

After muting you will usually want new sound — carry on with "Add music to a video", or do both in one go in the full editor.
