Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

AudioCrab is built for people who care about the last 20% — bitrate, sample rate, channel layout, metadata. Sensible defaults for everyone else.

Lossless when it matters

Copy the original audio stream bit-for-bit — no re-encoding, no quality loss. Great for archival and post-production.

Batch by design

Queue dozens of files, or point us at a playlist. Progress, ETA and per-file settings — all in one view.

Private by default

Files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within an hour. No accounts, no tracking pixels, no resale.

Smart trimming

Cut silences, mark chapters and split by scene. Ship a podcast episode without opening a DAW.

Any source

Local files, direct URLs, screen recordings, camera dumps. If it plays, we can extract from it.

Developer-friendly API

One POST returns a signed download URL. Rate limits are generous and errors are actually helpful.

Formats

50+ video formats in, 6 audio formats out.

If it plays in VLC, chances are AudioCrab handles it. Full list below — and if we're missing something, tell us and we'll add it.

How it works

Three steps. No account. No install.

Under the hood it's FFmpeg on serious hardware — but you don't have to touch a command line to get pro-grade output.

  1. 01

    Drop or paste

    Drag a video onto the page, pick from your device, or paste a direct URL. Batches welcome.

  2. 02

    Pick a format

    Choose MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A or AAC. Tweak bitrate, sample rate and channels — or leave the defaults.

  3. 03

    Download

    We process on isolated workers and hand you a signed link. Files are wiped within the hour.
