How it works

How to remove the audio from a video on Mac or Windows

  1. Drop one clip or hundreds

    MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and M4V all work.

  2. Run Mute video

    There are no settings. Every audio track is removed, not just turned down.

  3. Get silent copies

    The picture is copied untouched, so it is fast, lossless and stays in its original format.

What you get

One job, done without touching the picture.

Mute has no settings, because there is nothing to choose. These three things hold for every clip you run through it.

  • Same picture

    Copied as it is, with no re-encoding.

    Best for footage that must match the source exactly.

  • Same format

    An MOV stays an MOV.

    Best for workflows that expect the original file type.

  • No audio track

    Every track removed, not just silenced.

    Best for chatter, private talk or music you can’t use.

Every setting, explained in the Mute video guide No settings

The alternative

Why not remove the sound with a website?

Removing audio is a small job, and a website can do it. You still upload the whole video to get a silent one back.

Questions

Before you download

More answers in the help center.

Is it really free?

Every 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.

Should I use Mute or Add audio?

If you are adding new sound anyway, Add audio’s Replace mode swaps the track in one step. Use Mute when you want no sound at all.

Can I mute just part of a video?

Not directly. Mute removes the sound from the whole clip. To silence one section, cut it out with Split, mute that piece, and put the clips back together with Join.

Does it re-encode the video?

No. The video is copied through untouched and only the audio track is removed, so it is fast and lossless.

Does it keep my format?

Yes. The clip stays in its original container and codec, just without sound.

Can I mute many clips at once?

Yes. Add them to the queue and every clip comes out silent, with the picture untouched.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.

Does one license cover Mac and Windows?

Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
