Use this interactive demo to learn how to export and download audio files from your Descript project.

Quick summary

Descript lets you download audio directly from any project by using the built-in Publish and Export workflow. You can choose from multiple audio formats including MP3, WAV, and M4A, and export a full track or a specific highlighted section.


Steps

  1. Open the Descript project that contains the audio or video you want to download.
  2. Select a specific section of the audio by highlighting the desired portion in the timeline.
  3. In the upper-right corner, click the "Publish" button to open the export menu.
  4. Choose the "Export" option from the menu.
  5. Select the "Audio" option to specify you want an audio-only download.
  6. Choose your preferred audio format — M4A, WAV, or MP3 — depending on your needs.
  7. After confirming your format and settings, click "Export" to download the audio file.

📌 Why this matters

Descript's audio export feature gives podcasters, video editors, and content creators a fast way to extract high-quality audio from any project without needing a separate tool. Being able to choose between MP3, WAV, and M4A formats means users can match their output to any publishing platform or post-production workflow. This built-in download workflow saves time by keeping the entire editing and export process inside a single application. For teams producing regular audio or video content, mastering the Descript export feature is essential for an efficient, professional production pipeline.
