How to use the audio cutter

  1. Choose a file

    Pick an audio file or a video. The waveform appears after a moment; this step is free.

  2. Select the part

    Drag the handles, tap the waveform, or type start and end times. Press Play selection to check.

  3. Set fades and format

    Choose Keep it or Remove it, add a fade in or out if you like, and pick MP3 or WAV.

  4. Cut and save

    Press Cut and save. Listen to the result, download it, or go back with Edit again.

What is an audio cutter?

This audio cutter shows your file as a waveform with two handles. Drag them, tap the waveform, or type exact times such as 1:05.5 to choose a part, then press Play selection to hear exactly what you'll get, fades included. Keep only the selection (to make a clip, a sample or an intro), or remove it and join the rest (to cut out a cough, an ad or a long pause). Save the result as MP3 or WAV.

The file is decoded in your browser: MP3, M4A/AAC, WAV, AIFF, FLAC and OGG work, and so does the soundtrack of an MP4 or MOV video. Loading, dragging, previewing and changing options are free; only Cut and save counts as a run. Joins are smoothed with a 10 ms crossfade so they don't click, and fades in and out of up to 5 seconds are applied exactly as you heard them in the preview.

Honest limits: it cuts one range per run (repeat for more cuts) and doesn't mix tracks or change volume or speed. MP3 output is re-encoded, which costs a little quality; choose WAV if you'll keep editing. Very long files (an hour or more) need a lot of memory and are better cut on a computer.

Why use an audio cutter?

Most audio jobs are small: shorten a voice memo, pull a 20-second clip for a reel, drop the dead air at the start of a recording. Opening a full editor for that is slow, and many online cutters upload your audio to their server. This one does it in the tab, with a waveform precise enough to cut on a beat.

Audio cutter: frequently asked questions

Something else? Ask the team

How do I cut out the middle of a recording?

Select the part you want to get rid of, then under 'What to do with the selection' choose Remove it. Play the join previews 3 seconds either side of the cut. When you save, the two remaining parts are joined with a short crossfade so there's no click.

Can I set exact start and end times?

Yes. Type times in the Start and End boxes as minutes and seconds (1:05.5) or plain seconds (65.5) and press Enter. You can also focus a handle and nudge it with the arrow keys: 0.1 s per press, or 1 s with Shift.

Is my audio uploaded?

No. The waveform, preview and cutting all run in your browser on your own device. Only a usage count for the daily free run is sent to our server.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Choose a file from Files (iPhone) or your Downloads (Android), drag the handles with your finger, and tap Play selection to listen. The saved file goes to your Downloads.

Will cutting reduce the quality?

Saving as WAV keeps the decoded audio exactly. Saving as MP3 re-encodes it, which loses a little detail; at 192 or 320 kbps that is very hard to hear.

Can I cut the audio from a video?

Yes. Choose an MP4 or MOV file and the tool reads its soundtrack. The result is an audio file (MP3 or WAV), not a video.

Can I make a ringtone with it?

You can, but the iPhone Ringtone Maker is quicker: it limits the selection to 40 seconds, adds fades by default, saves the .m4r format iPhones need and explains how to install it.

Is it free?

You get one free export per day. Loading the file, moving the selection, previewing and changing options don't count; only the export button does. After the free export, each one costs 5 credits (5 US cents) from a free AI Rank Lab account.
