How to remove sound from iPhone video
With the Photo App
If youâre in a hurry, one of the easiest ways to remove audio from your iPhone video is through the built-inâPhotosâ app.
Itâs a handy trick when you want to quickly send a video on your phone (minus the embarrassing audio). Of course, itâs not the best â but it does the job.
Hereâs how:
- Open the iPhone Photos app and select the video you want to edit.
- Click on the âEditâ option in the top right corner.
- Click the yellow volume icon on the top left corner and make sure it turns grey.
- Save changes, and youâve successfully muted your video!
Pay attention to whether the slashed-out volume icon is black or grey. When it is grey, there is no audio in the video. If it is black, your iPhoneâs volume is too low, and increasing the volume will bring the sound back on.
With iMovie
iMovie is another great option for iPad, Mac, or iPhone users. Usually pre-bundled with Apple devices, iMovie is extremely beginner-friendly and compatible with most video formats. You can include smooth transitions, text, rotating scenes, or add and remove music with iMovie.Â
Hereâs how to remove audio with iMovie:
- Open the iMovie app on your iPhone
- Tap on the â+â sign to start a new project
- Click on âMediaâ to upload your video from your camera roll
- Click and highlight your video timeline in the bottom half of the screen.
- Click the volume icon underneath the video timeline and reduce the volume to 0.Â
- Your video is now muted! Share the project to save it without audio.
How to remove audio from video on Windows 10 / Windows Movie Maker
Movie Maker is the Windows equivalent of iMovie (with fewer features, though). Although Windows no longer bundles the Windows Movie Maker in their professional suite, they offer all its features inside their native Photos app. While this app has limited features, itâs better than youâd expect for pre-bundled free software.Â

How to remove sound from video on an Android Phone
Removing audio from your video when you use an Android is just as simple. This method uses Google Photos, where most Android users backup their photos. However, they also have an editing option if you dig slightly deeper.
- Open Google Photos on your Android and find the video you want to edit.
- Click âeditâ
- Click the volume icon on the left side and disable the audio.Â
- Save changes and youâre good to go.
You can also use other third-party apps like VivaVideo, etc., but they watermark your video. So, for a simple edit, Google Photos is the best way to remove audio from video on an Android device.
