The sound is AAC, and M4A is AAC's own file type, so it is saved as it is, with no quality lost. Nearly every player and editor opens M4A.
AC-3, E-AC-3 and DTS have no audio file type of their own, so the sound is saved as it is in MKA (Matroska audio), which VLC and most editors open.
The sound in a video is a separate track, so it can be lifted out as it is. Drop an MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM and the page shows which audio format is inside and the file it will save: AAC as .m4a, MP3 as .mp3, Opus or Vorbis as .ogg, FLAC as .flac, PCM as .wav, and AC-3, E-AC-3 or DTS as .mka. Nothing is re-encoded, so the quality is what the video had, and nothing is uploaded.
Questions
How do I extract audio from a video?
Drop the video above, check the format it shows, and click Save. The sound downloads as its own file.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video never leaves your computer.
Why isn't my file an MP3?
The sound is saved in the format the video already uses, which keeps the original quality. Most phone and web videos carry AAC, which saves as .m4a and plays almost everywhere. If you need an MP3, MP4 to MP3 converts it.
Is there a size limit?
There's no upload limit, since nothing is uploaded, and long videos work too.
