From the recording
1 file went in and Hangar wrote 1 file. It is the same run as in the recording, with the real names and sizes. Your originals are never changed.

How it works
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and any other video with sound.
Original copies the audio out as it is, with no quality loss. MP3 and AAC take a bitrate from 64 to 320 kbps, 192 by default. WAV is uncompressed.
Each video gives you one audio file, and the videos stay exactly as they were.
New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step
Choose the format
Original changes nothing: the audio inside the video comes out exactly as recorded. MP3, AAC and WAV re-encode it when you need a specific format.

The alternative
For a short clip you don’t mind sharing, a website does the job. Video files are big, though, and every one has to upload before you get anything back.

Who uses it

Hangar for podcastersSave the narration or soundtrack from a finished edit so you can use it in the next one.
Hangar for video and social creatorsTurn a batch of recorded classes into MP3s for the commute.

Save it as a chain
Pull the sound out of a batch of interview videos, even out the volume, then shrink it to MP3s ready for your podcast host.
How chains workEvery tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.
