Cutting audio in four moves

  1. Load a file. Songs, voice notes, interviews, or even the soundtrack of an MP4 or MOV video.
  2. Mark the section. Click and drag across the waveform, then nudge the handles. For exact edits, type times such as 0:42.50 into the Start and End fields.
  3. Choose the action. Keep selection exports only the highlighted part. Remove selection deletes it and joins what's left.
  4. Export. Add fades if you like, pick MP3 or WAV, and download.

Two editing modes

Keep selection

Ideal for ringtones, alarm sounds, social-media snippets, quotes from a talk, or a single sound effect from a long recording.

Remove selection

Ideal for deleting a cough, a phone buzz, a long silence, an advert break, or a take that went wrong.

When you remove a section, the two remaining parts are joined with a short crossfade (30 ms by default, adjustable up to half a second). That tiny overlap hides the edit point so you don't hear a pop.

Making a ringtone

Phones play ringtones on a loop, so short and punchy works best:

  • Choose 15–30 seconds, usually the chorus or the most recognisable hook.
  • Add a 0.5–1 second fade in and fade out so the loop doesn't jolt.
  • Export as MP3. Android phones can use it directly. iPhones need the file converted to M4R in GarageBand or Finder.

Editing tips

  • Place cut points in pauses or right before a beat, where edits are least noticeable.
  • Press Space to audition your selection before exporting.
  • Planning more edits later? Save as WAV to avoid stacking MP3 compression.
  • Only need to tidy the beginning and end? The Audio Trimmer can find the silence for you.

Common questions

How precise can my cuts be?

Down to a hundredth of a second when you type times into the Start and End fields. Internally, edits are sample-accurate.

Can I cut audio out of a video?

Yes. Open an MP4, MOV or WebM file and the cutter works on its audio track. The result is saved as MP3 or WAV.

Does cutting lower the quality?

WAV exports are lossless. MP3 exports are re-encoded, which is inaudible to most people at 192 kbps or higher.

Is there a length limit?

No fixed limit. Very long files, several hours, depend on how much memory your device has.

Do you keep a copy of my file?

No. Cutting happens in your browser, and we never receive the audio.
