How do I extract audio from a video on Android?

- Drag the purple handles to keep only part of it, if you want.

Does Android have a built-in way to extract audio?
Not in most phones. Google Photos can trim, crop, and rotate videos, as its video editing help describes, but it doesn't save audio on its own. Some Samsung Gallery and editor versions include extra tools; Samsung's Gallery guide covers what's available. A browser tool works the same on every phone, so you don't have to hunt for menus.
Should I save MP3 or WAV?
| You want to | Choose |
|---|---|
| Listen or share | MP3 at 192 kbps |
| Use it as a ringtone | MP3, trimmed to about 30 seconds |
| Edit it in an audio app | WAV |
| Save space | MP3 at 128 kbps |
MP3 is compressed and small. WAV is uncompressed and about ten times bigger, as the Library of Congress notes in its WAVE description. More in MP3 vs WAV.
Can I extract audio from a screen recording on Android?
Yes, if the recording has sound. Android's screen recorder asks whether to record media sounds, the microphone, or both when you start. If you chose none, there's nothing to extract. See how to screen record on Android to set it up, and does screen recording record audio for silent recordings.
How do I make a ringtone from a video?
- Open the video in Video to MP3.
- Drag the handles over the 20 to 30 seconds you want.
- Extract an MP3 and download it.
- Go to Settings > Sound (or Sounds and vibration) and choose the file as your ringtone.
How do I share the MP3 from Android?
Open the Files app, go to Downloads, and long-press the MP3. Tap Share and pick WhatsApp, Gmail, Drive, or Bluetooth. Most messaging apps send audio files as documents, so the quality arrives untouched. To keep it in your music library, move it to the Music folder, where most music players look for files automatically.
Why is the extracted audio quiet?
The tool keeps the original volume. If the video was recorded quietly, the MP3 will be too. Raise the volume in an audio editor, or record future videos closer to the microphone.
