Copy the video URL, paste it into Kapwing’s 'Add Media' section, and once it loads, add it to the timeline. Click 'Export Project' and select 'MP3' to download the audio.

What is the best and safest video format to use?
MP4 is one of the most widely used and versatile video formats. It is compatible with social media, YouTube, media players, and video editing software. MP4 files can store video, audio, subtitles, and images, making them ideal for most creator needs. While generally safe, like all files, MP4s can be prone to corruption.
Can MP4s have transparent backgrounds?

Is Kapwing's online video converter free?
Yes, Kapwing's online video converter is free to use. Jump into the editor and upload any file to get started, with conversions to MP4, MP3, GIF, and more. However, the free version adds a watermark to all exports. To remove the watermark and unlock additional features, you’ll need a paid subscription, which also allows for larger uploads.
Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?
If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including the Convert tool — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.
Kapwing is free to use for teams of any size. We also offer paid plans with additional features, storage, and support.
