Audio Cutter

Trim songs, voice notes, podcasts and ringtones right in your browser. Drag across the waveform to select the part you want to keep, fine-tune with the time boxes, add fade-ins and fade-outs, fix the volume — then export. Your audio is decoded and edited on your device; it is never uploaded. Pair it with the MP3 Tag Editor to finish the file properly.

Your waveform will appear here once you choose an audio file.
Tip: drag across the waveform to select the part to keep.

For ringtones, podcast clips, voice notes and samples — cut precisely, without uploading your audio anywhere.

Audio Cutter — Trim MP3, WAV, OGG & M4A in Your Browser guide

Cut and trim audio in your browser: load a song, voice note, podcast or ringtone, drag across the waveform to select the part you want to keep, add fade-ins and fade-outs, fix the volume, then export as WAV or WebM. The audio is decoded and edited on your device — it is never uploaded.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose an audio file (MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A and most other formats your browser can play). The waveform appears with the whole file selected by default, and the file details — length, sample rate and channels — show under the dropzone.
  2. Drag across the waveform to select the part to keep, or type the exact start and end times in seconds. Play just the selection to check it, and tick Loop selection to hear it repeat while you nudge the edges.
  3. Optionally add fade-in and fade-out (up to 10 seconds each), adjust the volume, or tick Normalise to lift quiet recordings to full volume. Pick WAV for lossless quality or WebM for a much smaller file, then click Export trimmed audio.

A worked example

Making a ringtone from a voice recording: drag over the best 25 seconds, set a 0.5 second fade-in and a 2 second fade-out so it does not start or stop abruptly, normalise so it is loud enough to hear in a pocket, and export WAV — most phones accept it directly, and the MP3 Tag Editor finishes the file with a proper title.

How it works

Your browser decodes the file to raw audio samples and the waveform is drawn from those samples. Export renders your selection offline through the Web Audio API: the trim is copied sample-exact, fades are applied as smooth gain ramps, normalise scans the loudest peak and scales the selection so the peak reaches full volume, and the result is encoded to WAV (16-bit PCM, lossless) or recorded to WebM/Opus in real time. No server ever sees the audio.

Frequently asked questions

Is my audio uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is decoded and cut entirely in your browser with the Web Audio API — nothing is sent to a server, so even private voice notes stay private.

How do I cut a precise moment?

Type the start and end seconds in the boxes (tenths of a second are allowed), or use the Zoom slider to stretch the waveform and drag the selection into place. Play selection lets you audition exactly what will be exported.

Why is there no MP3 export?

MP3 encoding uses an encoder whose licence does not fit this site’s clean-licence rule. WAV export is lossless — identical quality to the decoded original — and WebM/Opus gives you a small file that plays in every modern browser.

What does Normalise actually do?

It finds the loudest peak in your selection and raises the whole selection so that peak sits at full volume. Quiet voice notes and recordings made at a distance become much easier to hear, without changing the balance inside the clip.

Will cutting reduce the quality?

WAV export is lossless: the samples in the selected range are copied exactly, aside from any fades or volume changes you choose. WebM/Opus is compressed, but at its default quality the difference is inaudible for most material.
