Mute Video
Mute Video strips the sound from a clip while leaving the picture untouched — useful for removing background noise, wind, or copyrighted music before sharing. Because the video stream is copied through rather than re-encoded, it's near-instant even for long recordings, and nothing is uploaded.

What muting does
Removes the audio track entirely. Useful for background loops, for footage where someone is talking off-camera, and for anything going onto a page that autoplays.
What does not change
Every frame of the picture, the resolution, the frame rate and the length. Removing a track does not touch the video stream, so this is one of the few operations here with no picture cost whatsoever — and the file gets a little smaller.

Your file, and what the page does
Your file is never uploaded. Mute Video reads it into this browser tab and processes it with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly on your own device. There is no upload endpoint in the application and no copy on any server — closing the tab discards it.
That is also why processing takes longer here than on a site that uploads: your device is doing the work rather than a rack of servers. The trade is that the file never leaves it.
What the page does send or fetch
- The processing engine, once
- The first time you use any video or audio tool, the browser downloads the FFmpeg WebAssembly build (~30MB) from the jsDelivr CDN and reuses the cached copy afterwards. That is a file coming to you — no part of your own file is in the request.
- Ads on the page
- The site is funded by advertising, so the page loads Google AdSense. That carries the usual web basics — IP address, browser, referring page — as on any ad-supported site.
- An anonymous usage counter
- When Mute Video finishes we record that the tool ran, whether it succeeded and how long it took. No file data, no identifier, no cookie.
Your file is not on that list. How this works.
