Extract audio from video asMP3, WAV or AAC
Pull the soundtrack out, mute the video entirely, or swap in a different track — locally, on files of any size, with the original never modified.
How to use the audio extractor in three steps
Extracting audio is the first step in half of all repurposing: a video becomes a podcast episode, a transcript, a quote to caption, or a track to clean up and put back. Because Shorz is a full video app rather than a converter, the extracted audio can go straight into transcription, noise reduction or a new edit.
Choose a format
MP3 for anything you'll distribute, WAV when you need it uncompressed for further processing, AAC to keep it small and compatible.

Or mute and replace
Strip the audio out entirely for a silent background clip, or replace the existing track with a different file — a clean re-record, a dubbed version, a music bed.
Remove or swap the track
Do something with it
Feed the extracted audio into transcription, run noise reduction over it, mix it against music, or drop it back into a project as narration.
Transcribe · clean · re-mix
Find it in the app under MCP single-file tool.
Why Audio Extractor in Shorz
Audio out, transcript back
Extraction pairs naturally with transcription: pull the track, turn it into timed text, and you've got captions, searchable content and show notes from a video that was only ever a video.
Feeds transcription
Then clean it properly
Once it's out, Shorz's audio panel can take the noise off it, put a reverb space around it and mix it against music — before you drop it back into a video or publish it as audio.

Audio Extractor questions
MP3, WAV or AAC. MP3 for distribution, WAV when you want it uncompressed, AAC for small and compatible.
Yes. There's a separate operation that strips the audio track out entirely, and another that replaces it with a different audio file.
No. Extraction runs on your own machine with no upload, no queue and no file-size limit.
Extraction, muting and audio replacement are single-file tools driven over MCP — ask the AI assistant you've connected to Shorz and it runs them on your local files.
