Thanks to the exciting options the Canva Video Suite offers, you can use it to create engaging and fun videos. You might go for a cute birthday video for your friend or an eye-catching ad for your small business. Whatever your artistic vision is, the video’s original audio doesn’t always fit into it.

Canva’s developers considered this when making the platform, so they made it easy to remove audio in a few clicks.

If you prefer playing with designs on your PC, you can either use the Canva web client or the desktop app. The app is available for both Windows and Mac. Luckily, the editing process is identical in both versions, so choosing one boils down to your preference.
