How to use this tool

Choose your video or try the sample with sound.
Select Remove the sound. Video is copied without re-encoding.
Check the silent preview and download the copy. Keep the original.

Does it reduce picture quality?

No: the video track is copied without re-encoding. Resolution, frames and frame rate are preserved. The file and container may still be rewritten.

Is the volume just set to zero?

No. Every audio track is removed from the file. This is different from muting a player.

What if my video is already silent?

The tool explains this and can make a copy. A track that contains silence is still an audio track and is removed.

Can I recover the sound later?

Keep the original: the copy contains no audio track. Extract audio from a video can save an MP3 separately.
