# Remove Audio Track from Videos

> Strips the audio track from MP4, WebM, MOV, and MKV clips up to 500 MB by copying the video bitstream through with no re-encode — output is bit-perfect against the original picture, just silent. Files with multiple tracks let you pick which to drop. ffmpeg-wasm runs entirely in the tab.

## FAQ

### Is the process lossless?

Yes. The video stream is preserved as-is with only the audio track removed, so there is no quality loss.

### Can I keep specific audio tracks?

For videos with multiple audio tracks, you can choose which tracks to remove.

### What is the maximum file size?

There is no server limit since processing happens locally. Your device's memory is the only constraint — most handle files up to 100MB.

## Tips

- **Video stream is preserved bit-for-bit** — Only the audio track is dropped — the video bitstream is copied through with no re-encode, so there is no quality loss and the export is fast.
- **Pick which track to keep** — For files with multiple audio tracks (commentary, alt language, mixdown), choose which tracks to remove instead of stripping all sound.
- **Processes via ffmpeg-wasm in the tab** — The file never uploads anywhere. Memory is the only limit — most laptops handle clips up to 100 MB without issue, with a hard cap at 500 MB.

## Privacy — what we do not do

This tool runs entirely in the browser via WebAssembly. Your file never reaches a Loft Tools server. Specifically:

- **No upload.** The file bytes load into the browser tab's memory and process on your own CPU. Open DevTools → Network and observe zero outbound requests carrying file data while Remove Audio Track from Videos runs.
- **No AI training on your file.** Loft does not train models. We could not train on a file we cannot see.
- **No content scanning.** No virus, copyright, or content-moderation pass against your file. The bytes are not accessible to us.
- **No server-side log of file contents, filenames, or EXIF metadata.** Cloudflare edge captures URL and truncated IP for abuse defense (standard CDN behaviour). Cloudflare Web Analytics records anonymous page hits, no cookies, no PII. Nothing about your file content reaches any log.
- **No retention.** Close the tab and the file leaves browser memory. No backups exist on our side because no copy ever existed on our side.
- **No account.** No email, no signup, no auth, no telemetry tied to you.
- **Offline-capable after first visit** (PWA). Once you've loaded a tool, it caches; later sessions work without internet. For high-sensitivity files, run the tool once online to warm the cache, then disconnect before processing.

Compare with upload-based services: each transmits your file to a processing server. Even over HTTPS, each has logs, retention windows, and subpoena exposure. Loft has none of these because the server architecture does not include your file.
