Guide on Eliminating Audio from Figma Video Clips (without Cost)
Here's how to deafen videos in Figma using cost-free methods: You've got two solid solutions: deadening the audio in the video itself or transforming the video into a GIF, which, you guessed it, comes sans sound by default.
Method 1: Stifle That Sound With Kapwing (For Free)
- Dump your vid into the Kapwing editor (You can upload from your device or stick it online if it's already there).
- Grab that video in the editor.
- Navigate to the Audio controls panel on the right side.
- Find the Volume slider and slide it all the way to the left until it reads 0%, muffling the video thoroughly.
- Hit the Export Project button and select Export as MP4 to spit out a new, mute video.
- Save the silent video and then drop it into Figma for a soundless adventure.
This method retains the video's format but jettisons the audio, making it ideal for prototypes or presentations where audio ain't your cup of tea[1][3].
Method 2: Turn That Audio Off With a GIF Transformation
A speedier, free way to mute a video is to turn it into a GIF format:
- GIFs do not shuffle your speakers with audio, so transforming any video into a GIF instantly hoes it.
- Use a free online converter (such as Kapwing or similar tools) to upload your video and convert it into a GIF.
- Once changed, import the GIF into Figma. It will play without a sound by default since GIFs lack audio.
This approach is more straightforward and quicker if you don't require the video's format and aren't fussy about a GIF's limited color palette and frame rate.
Both methods are free and effective for muffling audio in Figma. Removing the audio preserves the video quality and format, while turning it into a GIF strip it of audio automatically.
