Frequently asked questions
- What video formats can I use?
- Any format your browser can decode — MP4, WebM, MOV, and MKV all work in most current browsers.
- Is the video re-encoded?
- Yes — decoding and re-encoding the video is how the audio track gets separated out. It's encoded at a high quality setting so there's no visible quality loss, but it isn't a byte-for-byte copy of the original stream.
- Why would I want to remove a video's audio?
- Common cases: preparing a clip to add your own voiceover or music track in an editor, removing an accidental background conversation, or muting a video before using it as a silent background loop.
- Is my video uploaded anywhere?
- No — the audio is removed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How GetByteRush compares
Most free tools for this online work the same way: you upload your file to their server, wait, then download the result — which means your file (and often your email, for a "free" account) sits on someone else's infrastructure. Here's the actual difference:
| Feature | GetByteRush | Typical online tools |
|---|---|---|
| Data ever leaves your device | No — processed in this tab | Yes, uploaded to process |
| High-quality video re-encoding, not a lossy default | Yes | Varies |
| Account required | Never | Often, past a certain usage level |
