Title: Grab Audio from a YouTube Video in a Snap - No Software Needed
Caught up on a crazy podcast or grooving to a catchy song on YouTube? It's understandable you'd want to save that audio gold for later or enhance it further. Well, buckle up, friend! Let's show you how to extract sound from any YouTube video like a pro— with just your web browser and no fancy software requirements!
Saving YouTube Audio: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Video Importing: Boy, it's so easy to grab that YouTube audio nowadays. All you need is an Online Video Editor, and voilà, the need for additional downloads or software is history. To get started, snag that YouTube link from the top of its webpage. If surfing on a mobile device, tap the share icon, and choose "Copy link" to snag that URL.
- Open Editor: Now, boot up your Kapwing editor. Greeted by a media upload interface, simply paste that YouTube link into the URL box like so:

The editor knocks itself out to import your video for you. Depending on the video's length, this may take a bit, but trust us, it's worth the wait.
- Audio Separation: Want to pull the audio from your YouTube vid? No sweat! You'll first need to split this into two separate tracks: one for video, one for audio. To do so, right-click on the track (on desktop) and select "Detach Audio." On mobile, long-press the track and the same option will appear. Viola! You've now extracted the audio from your YouTube video.
- Production Quality: If you prefer a standalone audio file (like an MP3), simply click the "Export Project" button in the upper left corner. Then, nab "MP3" from the export options. Boom! You now have your extracted YouTube audio all on its lonesome.
- Making It Shine: Fancy doing more with your newly extracted audio? Kapwing offers nifty tools to help you transform it into a masterpiece. Take advantage of their built-in tools, such as:
- Split Vocals: isolate vocals or instrumentals freely and create killer karaoke videos.
- Automatic Subtitles: improve accessibility or viewer retention by adding captions to interviews, podcast snippets, webinars, or voiceovers.
- Audio Waveforms: give your video that professional touch with visual cues of the sound.
Note: Kapwing doesn't explicitly describe their process for directly extracting audio from a YouTube video, so we recommend using another tool (with its explicit audio extraction process) if it's a must-have feature for you.
