Tiny Media / Extract audio

Extract audio from a video on Mac

Need the sound from a screen recording, a lecture capture, or a camera clip? Tiny Media extracts the audio track to MP3, M4A, or WAV. You choose the format before it runs. There is no timeline and no “export project.”

How to extract audio

1. Drop a video (or use Finder → Extract Audio).
2. Pick MP3, M4A, or WAV.
3. Save. Tiny Media writes a new audio file and leaves the video in place.

If the file is already audio (for example a WAV you downloaded), Convert Audio is not shown — the format was chosen at download time. Use Show in Finder to jump to the file.

Which format to pick

MP3

Smallest everyday file. Fine for voice notes and sharing.

M4A

AAC in an Apple-friendly wrapper. Good default on a Mac.

WAV

Uncompressed. Use when you will edit the audio next.
