Free Online Audio Trimmer — Cut Songs with a Waveform

Need to cut a song down to size or snip a clip out of a long recording? Our free audio trimmer lets you do it in seconds, with a clear visual waveform so you can see exactly where the sound starts, stops and gets quiet. Instead of guessing at timestamps, you simply drag the edges of the highlighted region to the part you want, listen to a preview, and download the result. It is the quickest way to keep only the audio that matters.

People use it for all kinds of everyday tasks. Trim the dead air or a noisy throat-clear off the start of a recording. Grab a single verse or chorus from a song. Cut a short, shareable clip out of a long podcast or interview. Shorten a voice memo before sending it, or pull out the best ten seconds of a live recording. Because you can see the waveform, finding the exact start and end point is easy, even in a quiet passage.

To make the cut sound natural, you can add a smooth fade in and fade out at the edges. This removes any sudden pops or clicks where the audio begins or ends and gives your clip a clean, professional finish — handy when you are dropping it into a video, a presentation or a playlist. The live preview means you never have to download a file just to check whether you picked the right spot; you hear your selection first and adjust until it is perfect.

Everything runs right inside your browser, so your audio is never uploaded to a server. Trimming is instant and completely private, with no sign-up and no watermark. It works with MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A and OGG files on both desktop and mobile, and saves your clip as a ready-to-use MP3.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose exactly where to cut?▾
Drag the start and end handles along the visual waveform. You can see where the sound is loud or quiet, and press play to preview your selection before downloading, so you always cut in the right place.
Can I add a fade in or fade out?▾
Yes. An optional smooth fade at the start and end removes sudden clicks or pops and gives your clip a clean, professional finish — great for clips you will use in a video or playlist.
Is my audio uploaded to a server?▾
No. The waveform and the cut are produced entirely in your browser, so nothing ever leaves your device.
What format is the trimmed file?▾
The trimmed clip is saved as an MP3 at 192 kbps, so it plays on virtually any device, app or player.
Can I trim large or long files?▾
Yes. Very long files take more memory and time on phones, but on a desktop the trimmer handles full-length tracks comfortably.
Does trimming change the rest of the audio quality?▾
No. It simply keeps the section you selected; the sound inside your clip stays the same as the original, just shorter.
