What Is Video Muter?

The Video Muter is a free browser-based tool that removes audio tracks from video files to create silent videos. Simply upload your video and the tool strips the audio, keeping only the visual content. It's perfect for creating background videos, removing unwanted noise, preparing videos for re-dubbing with new audio, or making silent social media clips. The tool re-records the video through Canvas and MediaRecorder without connecting any audio source, producing a video-only output. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Common Use Cases

Technical Guide

The Video Muter loads the video using an HTML5 Video element with the muted attribute set. The video plays through and is captured via a Canvas element frame-by-frame. The canvas stream is fed directly to MediaRecorder without any audio MediaStream tracks. This produces a video-only output with no audio data. The resulting file is typically smaller than the original since it contains no audio bitrate. The tool uses requestAnimationFrame for frame capture timing and manages the recording lifecycle with start/stop events tied to the video's playback state.
