Table of Contents
You do not need a Play Store app to remove audio from a video on Android. Open Chrome, go to the Remove Audio tool, select your video, and tap Remove Audio. The audio track is stripped without re-encoding, so your video quality stays identical. The silent file downloads to your phone in seconds.
This works on Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Xiaomi — any Android device with Chrome or a Chromium-based browser.
How to Mute a Video on Android in Chrome
- Open Chrome on your Android phone.
- Go to the Remove Audio tool and tap the upload area.
- Select a video from your Gallery, Files app, or camera folder. MP4, MOV, and WebM are all supported.
- Tap "Remove Audio." Processing takes a few seconds — the audio stream is stripped without re-encoding.
- Tap "Download Silent Video." The file saves to your Downloads folder.
The entire process is usually under 30 seconds, most of which is selecting the file from your gallery.
Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel Notes
Samsung Galaxy phones (S23, S24, S25, A-series) record video as MP4 by default. These files work perfectly with the tool. If you use Samsung's built-in video editor, note that it re-encodes on export — the browser tool is faster because it skips encoding entirely.
Google Pixel phones use H.264 or H.265 encoding depending on your camera settings. Both codecs are supported. The Pixel's "Magic Eraser" and editing features are great for photo editing, but for simply stripping audio from a video, the browser tool is more direct.

Play Store apps for video muting (InShot, CapCut, VN) add complexity you do not need:
- They require storage permissions and access to all your media
- Most are ad-supported with full-screen interstitials every other tap
- They re-encode the video (quality loss + slow processing)
- They take up 100-300MB of storage space
- Some inject watermarks on free tier exports
A browser tool asks for nothing. Select one file, process it, download the result. No permissions, no ads covering your screen, no storage footprint when you are done.
Common Reasons to Mute Video on Android
- Before sending on WhatsApp. Your video has background noise or a private conversation. Mute it before sharing in a group chat.
- Instagram Reels. You want to overlay a trending audio instead of your original. Strip the audio, then add music in Instagram's editor.
- TikTok content. Similar workflow — remove original audio, add a TikTok sound.
- Reducing file size. Android's default camera recordings can be large. Removing audio shaves off 5-15% of the file, which helps when sharing over mobile data.
- Screen recordings. Android's built-in screen recorder captures internal audio and mic. If you only wanted the visuals, strip the audio post-recording.

Open in Chrome, select your video, and download the silent version in seconds.
