An audio extractor is a tool or software designed to separate audio tracks from video files. This allows users to save the audio in various formats, such as MP3 or WAV, for easier access and use. Audio extractors are commonly used for extracting music, sound effects, or dialogue from movies, videos, and other multimedia content. These tools can be found in both online platforms and downloadable software applications. Many audio extractors offer user-friendly interfaces, making it simple for anyone to convert video files into audio. Popular examples include VLC Media Player and Audacity, which provide additional editing features.
