Tool comparison
VideoSplit vs Any Video Converter
Any Video Converter (AVC) is a free desktop converter for Windows and macOS that has been around forever. It works, but it has a cluttered UI, constant upsells to the Ultimate edition, and an installer that still asks about bundled extras. VideoSplit is the browser tool that does the audio extraction slice cleanly.

| Ads and upsells | None | Ultimate upsells throughout free UI |
| Audio extraction flow | Two clicks | Multi-step through the Convert tab |

| Output formats | WAV, MP3 | Multiple — locked behind Ultimate on some profiles |
Why VideoSplit wins for most people
VideoSplit has no install, no upsell, and no cluttered conversion-profile UI. The extraction flow is a drag-and-drop and a click. AVC bundles many features together but the free tier's constant "upgrade to Ultimate" prompts make it feel heavier than it actually is.
What VideoSplit gives up
AVC has a wider feature set in one desktop app if you use more than audio extraction — video compression, trimming, simple editing. For audio-only jobs, that extra surface is not useful.
