What is the ToolDeck remove audio tool?
ToolDeck Remove Audio from Video is a free browser tool for muting or detaching a clip’s audio. It uses the WebCodecs engine of the ToolDeck Video Editor, so the video and audio stay on your device. You can mute one clip or many, detach audio to keep or delete separately, add new music or voiceover, and export an H.264 MP4 up to 4K without the original sound. No account and no watermark.
It is built for adding new music to a source clip, recording fresh voiceover for stock footage, cleaning up noisy B-roll, posting silent clips to social, replacing unusable on-camera audio and stripping speech for privacy. It does not preserve Dolby or 5.1 surround, and it does not restore clipped audio — use a dedicated audio editor for that.

What muting does well, and where it is limited
The tool removes or separates audio; it does not repair sound. Check this table before a project.
| Scenario | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| One-click mute | Works well | The fastest way to remove audio from a clip. |
| Detach and keep the original audio | Works well | Useful if you want to reuse the audio on another track. |
| Very loud source clips | Muted cleanly | Mute removes the stream, not just lowers volume. |
| Multi-audio-track source videos | Mixed into one track | Separate embedded audio tracks are not preserved individually. |
| Dolby / 5.1 surround | Not preserved | Export is stereo H.264/AAC. |
| Repairing clipped audio | Needs an audio editor | This tool mutes or detaches; it does not restore distorted audio. |
Tips for clean audio removal
Use Detach if you may reuse the audio
Detaching keeps the original sound available on a separate track.
Batch mute B-roll
Select multiple B-roll clips and mute them together to remove handling noise.
Add music after muting
Mute first, then add the new audio bed so levels are easier to balance.
Check the export has no original audio
Play the exported MP4 and confirm the original sound is gone before publishing.
ToolDeck vs cloud audio removers

Use footage and audio you have the right to use
Only edit and publish footage, music and voices you own or are licensed to use. Removing someone else’s audio does not give you the right to reuse their video.
