How to remove sound from video on Xiaomi phone: a step-by-step guide

Removing audio from video on Xiaomi smartphones (including Redmi and POCO) is a challenge that users face when editing social media videos, creating memes or preparing content without a background. Unlike computer editors, mobile solutions often hide this feature in non-obvious menus. In this article, we will examine all working methods — from embedded tools to third-party applications — as well as nuances that will help avoid loss of quality or errors in saving.

Xiaomi phones are specially featured in the Mi Video brand, which doesn’t always offer editing. So some of the methods are tied to third-party utilities like CapCut, InShot or KineMaster. We tested each variant on Xiaomi 13 Pro, Redmi Note 12 and POCO X5 models — all of which work on MIUI 14/15 (relevant for 2026). If your phone is older, check the firmware version in Settings → About the phone.

Important: Some methods require the video to be exported to a new file, which means that the original video will remain intact and the sound will be deleted only in the copy. If you need to completely replace the audio track with another one (for example, add music), read our guide on the overlay of the audio on the video.

1.Remove audio through the standard Xiaomi editor (Mi Video)

The proprietary Mi Video app (or Gallery in newer versions of MIUI) allows you to crop the sound without installing additional programs. The feature is not available on all models - it is not available in the budget Redmi A and some older devices.

1. Open the video in the Gallery app.
2. Slip the edit button (the pencil icon at the bottom of the screen).
3. If the menu has a tab “Sound” or “Audio” – the function is supported.

Instructions for sound removal:

1. In the editor, go to the “Sound” tab (dynamic icon).
2. Move the slider "Loudness of the original sound" to the left (value 0%).
3. Click Save and select Export Quality (recommended Original or High).

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI After saving the video, a watermark Mi Video may appear. To remove it, use third-party editors (see the following sections).

2.Use CapCut to remove sound (free)

CapCut is one of the most popular video editing apps on Android, including Xiaomi phones. It is free, ad-free (in core features) and supports 2-click audio removal. The advantage over Mi Video is that there are no watermarks and more tools for further editing.

Step-by-step:

2. Open the app and click on “New Project”.
3. Select a video from the gallery and tap "Add".

3. Sound removal in InShot (CapCut alternative)

• 🔇 Click on the “Sound” icon in the lower menu.

⚠️ Warning: InShot's free version adds a watermark. To remove it, you either need to buy a premium or crop the edges of a video in another editor (for example, in CapCut).

4. Online services for audio removal (without installing programs)

If you don't want to install apps, you can use online tools that work right in your browser, but they require you to upload video to a server. This is not safe for sensitive videos. We tested 3 reliable services:

4. Download the finished file without sound.

⚠️ Attention: Online services compress video, which can degrade quality. For professional editing, it is better to use offline editors.

💡

If the video is large (>500MB), split it up using the Video Splitter app before uploading to the online service.
