Extract audio from a video

Pull the sound out of a video or convert an audio file or voice message to MP3, M4A, OGG or WAV at 128 to 320 kbps. 1 credit per file.

Send a video to @MediaShaperBot and press Sound → audio. The bot takes the audio track, converts it to the format you pick and sends it back as an audio file. The picture is dropped, and so is any cover art.

Format and quality

FormatBitrate choices
MP3128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps
M4A128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps
OGG128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps
WAVnone (stored without losses)

The default bitrate is 192 kbps. A higher bitrate sounds better and gives a bigger file. WAV has no bitrate setting because it is stored without losses.

It also converts audio

The same actions appear when you send audio instead of video: an audio file or a voice message. The bot accepts MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus, WAV, FLAC, WMA, AIFF and ALAC, so you can turn a voice message into MP3, a FLAC into a smaller M4A or a WMA into something your player understands. Choose Audio on the main screen first if you prefer to pick the action before sending the file.

What it costs

1 credit per file, and 2 credits for a file over 500 MB. The price depends on the size of what you send, not on its length, so a long lecture recording of a few hundred megabytes is still 1 credit. It is the cheapest action in the bot. The first 10 jobs are free, then 50 free credits a week for files up to 50 MB (see credits and prices). If the conversion fails, the credits are returned.

Questions

Which video formats can I extract sound from?

Videos sent as video, as a file or as a video message, and containers such as MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, MPEG and TS. The input can be up to 4 GB.

Which format should I choose?

MP3 is the safe choice for any player. If you are unsure, take MP3 at 192 kbps, which is the default.

Will converting to MP3 reduce the quality?

MP3, M4A and OGG are lossy formats, so each conversion re-encodes the sound. Choose 320 kbps to stay close to the source, or WAV if you want to edit the sound further.

No. The bot works with files; links are not supported yet. To save audio from a link, use the Download IT bot, then send the file here if you need another format.

Is a separate vocal or music track possible?

Not here. For splitting a song into vocals and instrumental, use Voice Remover.
