Fast, and no loss in picture quality
For H.264 videos, which includes most phone and camera footage, ClipFit copies the picture as it is and simply leaves the audio out. That takes a few seconds even for long files and the image is unchanged.
Other formats, like HEVC or VP9, are re-encoded to H.264 so the output plays everywhere.
Common reasons to mute a video
Social platforms may block or mute clips that contain copyrighted music. Removing the track yourself lets you add licensed music in an editor instead.
Muted clips are also useful as website background videos, in presentations, and for product footage where the original sound is just wind or room noise. A video without audio is also slightly smaller.
Muting several clips at once
Select up to 20 videos and each one is muted in turn, with a separate download for every file. This is handy for preparing B-roll for an edit, or for clearing the audio from a batch of product shots before handing them to a designer.
Muted videos are saved as MP4 with the original resolution and frame rate.
Private by design
ClipFit processes your video inside your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. The file is never uploaded, so there’s no waiting for transfers and no copy left on a server. Once you close the tab, nothing remains.
Questions
Can the sound be recovered from the muted file?
No. The audio track is removed entirely, not silenced. Keep your original if you might need the sound later.
Does muting reduce the file size?
Slightly. Audio is usually a small part of a video file, so expect a reduction of a few percent.
Can I mute just part of a video?
Not with this tool. It removes the whole audio track.
Which formats can I mute?
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and AVI. The result is always an MP4, which plays on phones, computers and social platforms.
Is the video uploaded while it’s being muted?
No. Muting happens in your browser, so the original sound, including any private conversations it contains, never leaves your device.
