Extract audio from video using shortcuts

If you only want to edit the audio clips of a video, you can use iMovie on your iPhone. Also, you can use audio from other videos in your movie project. Unfortunately, it does not allow you to save audio from videos. So I found a workaround to do the same.

The best app to extract audio from video on iPhone is shortcuts. Creating a shortcut to convert video to audio may seem too complicated. That’s why I suggest installing this audio extraction shortcut.

1. Clicking on the link above will redirect you to the Shortcuts app.
2. Select (+) Add Shortcut.
3. Now go to the Photos app → select the video you want to extract audio from.
4. Click the Share button.
5. Bring up the share sheet and select Separate Audio. Extracting audio will take some time.
6. Go to the Browse tab → select the icon with three dots at the top.
7. Click “New Folder”to create a folder in iCloud Drive.
8. Enter the new folder and click “Open”. The audio file will be saved in the folder.
9. To access the audio clip, open the Files app and navigate to the folder you created.

Install third-party applications to convert video to audio.

There are many video to audio converter apps available on the App Store. Surprisingly, you can also use the Documents app to extract audio from videos on your iPhone.

Here I use the simplest option, using the Audio Converter app.

1. Download the app from the App Store.
2. Open the app → tap the plus icon.
