What is Add Audio to Video?

Add Audio to Video lays a music track or voiceover over a clip by combining two files — your video and a separate audio file — into one MP4. The video track is copied untouched while the new audio is encoded to AAC, and the result is trimmed to whichever of the two is shorter. The original audio in the video is replaced by the track you add. Everything runs locally with in-browser FFmpeg (WebAssembly), so neither file is ever uploaded.

How to use Add Audio to Video

  1. Add your video

    Drag the video onto the first drop zone or click to browse. MP4, MOV, and WebM work best. The in-browser video engine starts loading as soon as the video is added.

  2. Add an audio track

    In the Audio track panel, drop an MP3, WAV, or other audio file. This becomes the new soundtrack — it replaces the video's original audio rather than mixing with it.

  3. Combine the two

    Click Add audio to video. The video stream is copied as-is, the audio is encoded to AAC, and the output is cut to the shorter of the video and audio lengths.

  4. Preview and download

    Play the combined clip in the built-in preview to check timing, then download the MP4. Both files are processed on your device — nothing is sent to a server.
