Short answer
Audio can be removed from a video in a browser without any loss of picture quality. The video stream is copied byte for byte into a new file and the audio stream is simply dropped, so the operation completes in seconds regardless of video length and the image is bit-identical to the original.

Muting is one of the few video operations that is genuinely lossless. Because the picture is copied rather than re-encoded, a two-hour recording processes about as fast as a two-minute one, and the output image is indistinguishable from the source because it is the same data.
This is the right tool when a recording has background noise, an unwanted conversation, or a music track that would cause a copyright claim, and you plan to add new audio later.

Frequently asked questions
Does muting reduce video quality?
No. The picture is stream-copied without re-encoding, so the output video is bit-identical to the input.
Why is this so much faster than other tools here?
Nothing is re-encoded. The file is just repackaged without its audio track, which is an I/O operation rather than a computational one.
Can I lower the volume instead of removing it entirely?
Not with this tool — it removes the audio track completely. Adjusting volume requires re-encoding the audio.
Can I save the removed audio?
Not from here. Use the Video to MP3 tool to extract the audio track as a separate file first.
