I need to cut or trim an audio file
Grab a clip, trim the silence at the start, or split a long recording, all in your browser.
To cut an audio file, use an audio trimmer: select the section you want and export it. No software needed. Our Audio Trimmer and Cutter run in your browser, so the recording is never uploaded. Great for trimming silence, grabbing a clip, or splitting a long recording into parts.
4 tools for this
Each one is free, private and runs in your browser. No sign-up, no watermark.
Audio Trimmer
Trim audio in your browser with a real waveform: drop an MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG, drag a selection to keep exactly the part you want, preview it, then download a lossless WAV or a compact MP3. Sample-accurate and 100% private. Nothing is uploaded.
Audio Cutter
Cut a section out of the middle of an audio file in your browser. Drop an MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG, drag a selection over the real waveform to mark the part to delete, and the audio before and after is joined into one seamless clip. Download a lossless WAV or compact MP3. Sample-accurate and 100% private. Nothing is uploaded.
Audio Splitter
Split one audio file into multiple clips in your browser: by fixed-length chunks, by your own time ranges, or automatically on silence. Preview each part on its waveform, then download them individually or as a single ZIP. Sample-accurate, lossless WAV output, and 100% private. Nothing is uploaded.
MP3 Converter
Convert any audio to MP3 in your browser, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC and more to a clean, universally-playable MP3 with a bitrate you choose. Preview the waveform, encode locally with lamejs, then download. Nothing is uploaded.

- 4
Convert if needed
Need a universal file? Convert the result to MP3 for maximum compatibility.
- Cutting on a hard beat with no short fade, which can click at the edit point. Add a quick fade if it pops.
- Re-encoding a lossy file (like MP3) repeatedly, which stacks quality loss. Trim from the best source you have.
- Only trimming when a normalize or silence-remove step would clean the audio up better.
