Getting the sound out of WebM
WebM is the open, royalty-free container built for the web. It is what most browser-based screen recorders produce, and VP9 packs the same picture into noticeably less data than H.264.
The picture is dropped and the audio is written as MP3 (MP3 (lossy)), which every phone, car stereo and podcast host plays. If the WebM carries several audio tracks, the MP3 carries one of them. Your WebM itself is not changed.

Before you extract audio from a WebM
A WebM straight out of a browser recorder often has no duration in its header, so players show no length and cannot seek. Converting writes a complete file with a proper duration.
iMovie, the iPhone Photos app and many editing tools will not import WebM at all, so it usually needs converting before it can be edited anywhere else.
extract audio from webm: questions
Can I get WAV instead of MP3?
Yes. Switch the output to WAV in the panel before exporting. WAV is uncompressed, so it is several times larger, and it is what an audio editor would rather have.
Does my WebM lose anything?
No. REQO reads the audio out of your WebM and writes a new file; the WebM you uploaded stays exactly as it was.
Is extracting audio from WebM free?
Yes. Extract and preview free, and a free account downloads the result. Free exports and share pages include a small REQO badge. Go Pro to remove it.
