How it works

  1. Choose your file

    Pick an MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC or AAC file from your phone or computer.

  2. Pick the part

    Drag the Start and End handles on the sound wave. Tap Play to hear only that part, and use Start here and End here while it plays.

  3. Fine tune (if you like)

    Zoom in for an exact cut, nudge the start or end a tenth of a second at a time, and add a fade in or a fade out.

  4. Save

    Pick MP3, M4A or WAV, tap Cut and save, listen to the result, then tap Save file.

Why use this tool

See the sound

The sound wave shows where the loud and quiet parts are, so it is easy to find the spot you want.

Exact to a tenth of a second

Zoom in and use the small + and − buttons for a precise start and end.

Fade in and fade out

Start or end softly instead of with a sudden jump. You hear the fade when you play the part.

MP3, M4A or WAV

Save in the format you need, in three qualities for MP3 and M4A.

Private

Your file is cut in your browser, on your device. It is not sent to a server.

No watermark, no account

Nothing is added to your audio and you do not need to sign in.

Tips for cutting audio

Questions

Is this MP3 cutter free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no watermark and no account.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is read and cut in your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Which files work?
MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, OGG, FLAC and the sound of MP4, MOV and WebM videos, as long as your browser can read them.
Will the sound quality drop?
The part you keep is saved again. At Good (128 kbps) or Best (192 kbps) the difference is small. Choose WAV if you want no loss at all, and know that the file is much bigger.
Can I cut a piece out of the middle?
This tool keeps one part, from a start to an end. To remove a piece from the middle, cut the part before it and the part after it separately.
How short can the part be?
A tenth of a second.
How long can the file be?
There is no set limit. The sound is read bit by bit, so long files work. WAV is limited to about 400 MB, so pick MP3 or M4A for a long part.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It is built for phones, with handles you can drag with a thumb. Chrome, Edge and Safari all work.
