How do I remove background noise from a video?

YourDevice’s background noise remover takes the video file itself. Drop in an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV, pick a preset or set the denoiser yourself, and press “Clean up audio”. The audio track is pulled out of the video inside your browser, cleaned, and handed back as a WAV — put that WAV on your timeline in place of the original audio and export. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is installed.

Do I get a video file back?

No — YourDevice hands back the cleaned audio as a WAV, not a re-muxed video. That is deliberate: re-encoding your video in a browser tab would cost quality and a long wait, while every editor (Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut, CapCut, Shotcut) lets you drop a WAV onto the timeline, mute the original track and export in seconds.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. YourDevice runs the entire cleanup in your browser on your own device, so your video or recording is never uploaded and nothing is kept once you close the tab. There is no account and no server-side queue, because there is no server doing the work.

What is the difference between Fast and Studio?

Both are noise-reduction models that run in your browser. Fast uses RNNoise — instant, and good for steady hiss and hum. Studio uses DeepFilterNet 3, a heavier AI model that removes harder, non-steady noise (traffic, babble, keyboard) while keeping the voice natural. Studio downloads a one-time model on first use, then runs from the browser cache.

Can it set the volume / loudness?

Yes — YourDevice measures loudness to the ITU-R BS.1770 (LUFS) standard and normalizes to a target: −16 LUFS for podcasts, −14 for YouTube, −23 for broadcast. It never lets the audio clip.

Which formats can I use?

Video: MP4, M4V, MOV, WebM and MKV. Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus and FLAC. The cleaned result is always downloaded as a WAV so there is no extra compression.

How long can the video be?

Up to 30 minutes per file. The whole recording has to fit in your browser tab’s memory while YourDevice cleans it, so anything longer is refused with a clear message rather than failing halfway — split a long interview into parts and clean them one at a time.

How is this different from noise reduction in Audacity?

Audacity’s Noise Reduction effect asks you to install Audacity, find a stretch of silence in the recording and run "Get Noise Profile" before it can remove anything. Here you drop the file and press one button: RNNoise and DeepFilterNet 3 are trained models that work out what is noise from the recording itself, so there is no profile to capture and nothing to install.

How to remove background noise from a video

Add your video or recording

Drag and drop a video (MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV) or an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC), or click to choose one. It loads straight into your browser — nothing is uploaded, and the audio track comes out of the video on your own device.
Pick a preset or dial it in

Choose a preset (Podcast, YouTube, Voiceover) or set it yourself — denoise Fast or Studio, roll off rumble, even out levels, and pick a loudness target. Then press “Clean up audio”.
Compare & download the cleaned audio

Play the original and cleaned versions side by side, then download the result as a WAV. For a video, that WAV is the cleaned audio track: drop it onto your timeline in place of the original and export.

What you get

Takes video straight off the camera

Drop an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV and the audio track is extracted in the browser — no exporting the audio first, no converter. You get the cleaned audio back as a WAV; the video file itself is never touched or re-encoded.

Two noise reduction models

Fast (RNNoise) for an instant cleanup, or Studio (DeepFilterNet 3) — a heavier AI model that removes noise while keeping the voice natural, even in babble.

Loudness & leveling

Normalise to a platform's delivery target (Podcast −16, YouTube −14 LUFS) or the −23 LUFS broadcast standard, even out loud and quiet passages, and roll off low rumble — so it just sounds right.

Private and free

No accounts, no sign-up, no watermarks — up to 30 minutes per file, as often as you like. Your files are never uploaded: the whole thing runs in your browser.

Need the words as well as clean audio? Use transcribe. Removing music behind a voice is a different job — that is the vocal remover. And if the recording itself is too far gone for filtering — a muffled mic, a hard echo — the voice enhancer rebuilds the speech instead.
