1Upload the videos whose soundtrack you want gone.
2Confirm that you want the audio track dropped entirely rather than turned down to silence.
3Run it; the audio track is removed and the picture is copied through untouched.
4Download the silent Video file, which is also smaller than what you started with.
Mute Video FAQ
Does the container format matter?
+
It does. this format is read and written by the same streaming pipeline as everything else we support. That governs how the tracks are stored and therefore how cleanly one can be dropped.
Anything specific to Video worth knowing?
+
Yes — the container and codec are probed before anything runs, so mixed uploads in one batch are handled per file. Relevant when the source has more than one audio track.
Should I mute or just silence the audio?
+
Mute. A silent track still occupies bitrate and still has to be decoded by the player; dropping it makes the file smaller and removes any chance of it being unmuted downstream.
Can I run Mute Video on several videos at once?
+
Yes, and it matters here more than anywhere else — video jobs run in minutes, so queueing the batch in parallel is the difference between one wait and several.
Does Mute Video cost anything?
+
No. Mute Video is free without an account, and the output has no watermark, corner logo or intro card. The upload and the result are deleted automatically about 24 hours after the job, which leaves time to download the result.
Is there a file size limit on Mute Video?
+
Yes: free accounts process video up to 40 MB per file whichever container you brought; ffmpeg with x264, x265 and libvpx does the encoding. It is high enough that upload speed is usually the binding constraint rather than the cap itself.
Why does a PNG site host Mute Video?
+
PNG.to is built around the format you use when you cannot afford to lose a pixel: lossless, alpha-capable, and the correct answer for screenshots, logos, line art and anything with hard edges. Image work is rarely one step: people arrive to change a format and leave needing the picture a different size, a different weight or a different shape. Running Mute Video on the same upload pipeline, the same size caps and the same account is the whole reason it is here rather than on a fourth tab.
What should I do with the result once Mute Video is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves images to and from PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and SVG — which is the step where the decision about transparency actually gets made. That is the step most people actually came for, and doing it after Mute Video rather than before it means the conversion works from the file you finally settled on.
Is Mute Video here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same libraries, the same workers, the same limits. What differs is the advice, and the advice here starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: there is no quality slider to get wrong — a PNG round-trips bit-exactly, so the only thing edits cost you is file size. A PNG site is opinionated about where PNG is the right destination and where it is not, and that judgement is worth more than the button.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account is needed. Uploads and results are kept for about 24 hours, which leaves time to download the result, and are then deleted automatically; nobody reads, lists or indexes them. Several files in one job need a paid plan.
