Free Video to Audio Converter is a Windows desktop utility for saving the soundtrack, speech, music or another audio track from a video file. It supports Windows 11 and Windows 10 and accepts common containers including MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, WebM, FLV, MPEG and VOB. You can save the result as MP3 for broad playback support, WAV or FLAC for editing and archiving, or AAC/M4A when you want a smaller modern audio file.

Video to audio conversion: step by step
- Download the installer from this official website. The current file is 31,531,595 bytes. It does not contain an embedded Windows Authenticode signature, so download only over HTTPS and verify its SHA-256 checksum before running it:

- Install and open the converter. Read each installer screen before approving the Windows administrator prompt. Interface labels can vary slightly between releases.
- Add one or more video files. Select an MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV or another supported file from your PC. Use batch mode when several videos need the same output format.
- Choose an audio format. Pick MP3 for compatibility, WAV for editing, FLAC for lossless output storage, or AAC/M4A for efficient playback on modern devices.
- Select a quality preset. If the preset exposes bitrate, sample-rate or channel controls, start with settings close to the source. Increasing the bitrate cannot restore detail already missing from a compressed source.
- Trim when needed. Set start and end points if you only need a song, interview segment, lecture section or ringtone-length clip.
- Choose an output folder and convert. Open the finished audio file and listen near the beginning, middle and end before deleting the original video.
Which output format should you choose?
| Format |
Best for |
Quality and size |
| MP3 |
Phones, cars, music players and easy sharing |
Small and widely compatible, but uses lossy compression |
| WAV |
Editing in an audio editor |
Large files with uncompressed PCM output |
| FLAC |
Archiving or editing without another lossy encode |
Lossless compression; usually smaller than WAV |
| AAC or M4A |
Modern phones, tablets and compact libraries |
Efficient lossy compression at practical bitrates |
| WMA |
Older Windows-oriented workflows |
Useful mainly for legacy compatibility |
What “without quality loss” really means
Changing a video soundtrack to MP3 or AAC normally re-encodes the audio, so the process is not mathematically lossless. Choosing WAV or FLAC can avoid an additional lossy output stage, but it cannot recreate information already removed from a compressed source. For spoken audio, a moderate MP3 or AAC preset is usually sufficient; for editing or archiving, choose WAV or FLAC and keep the original video until you verify the result.
Frequently asked questions
Does the converter work on Windows 11?
Yes. The current Windows release supports Windows 11 and Windows 10. If Windows blocks installation, confirm that the file came from the official HTTPS address, compare the SHA-256 checksum above and scan the file before deciding whether to continue.
Can it convert MP4 video to MP3?
Yes. Add the MP4 file, select MP3 as the output format, choose a quality preset and start conversion. See the detailed MP4 to MP3 tutorial.
Can it extract audio from several videos at once?
The product interface supports batch processing and advertises up to 32 simultaneous extraction or conversion jobs. Real speed depends on processor, storage, source codecs and output settings; fewer parallel jobs may be more reliable on a lower-memory PC.
Can it trim the audio before saving?
Yes. Use the start and end controls to keep only the required section. For additional editing after conversion, open the result in the main Free Audio Editor application.
Is the installer digitally signed?
The current 31,531,595-byte installer is not Authenticode-signed. This page publishes its exact SHA-256 checksum so visitors can confirm that the downloaded file matches the file currently hosted on the official site.
