# Remove audio from a video

> Wind noise, background chatter or a song you cannot license: mute the clip, or turn it down and drop in a free track. Export and the audio is gone.

Remove the sound from a video, or lower it and add music instead. Mute a whole clip or just a section, then export a silent MP4. Free, in your browser.

## How it works

1. **Drop in your video** — It opens with its sound on the timeline.
2. **Mute or lower the volume** — Select the clip and click Mute in the inspector, or slide the volume down to taste.
3. **Export** — Download the MP4 without the original sound, or with the music you added.

## Why CutLuma for this

- **Mute a section only** — Split the clip around the part to silence and mute just that piece; the rest keeps its sound.
- **Replace instead of remove** — Add a royalty-free track from the stock library or a voiceover in the same project.
- **Per-clip volume** — Every clip has its own volume, so you can balance an interview against music.

## FAQ

**Does muting change the video quality?**

No. Only the audio track changes; the picture is exported at your project resolution.

**Can I export only the audio?**

Not yet; exports are MP4, WebM or GIF videos.

**Can I mute a video on my phone?**

Yes. The editor runs in the browser on phones and tablets as well as computers.
