Frequently Asked Questions

Will extracting audio from MP4 lose quality?

When the source codec matches the output (e.g. AAC → AAC), FFmpeg performs a lossless stream copy with no re-encoding and zero quality loss. Converting to MP3 or FLAC involves one re-encode at high quality settings — the quality loss is negligible for casual listening.

Can I extract audio from a screen recording?

Yes. Screen recordings from Zoom, OBS, QuickTime, and Windows Game Bar saved as MP4 are all supported. The audio track (microphone + system audio) is extracted as-is.

Can I use this to rip audio for a podcast?

Yes. Upload your video recording, select MP3, extract, and upload directly to your podcast hosting platform. Ensure you have the rights to distribute the content.

Is my file kept private?

Yes. Your MP4 and extracted audio are automatically deleted within 60 minutes. We never store or analyse your content.
