Trim MP3, WAV and OGG Audio

Trim audio files by choosing the start and end.

Your data is never sent to any server.

The audio trimmer cuts any audio file in your browser: load the file, mark the start and end on the waveform, preview the selection and download the segment as WAV or MP3. No uploads and no watermarks.

Clean cuts

A cut in the middle of a word or a note sounds like a click. To avoid it, look on the waveform for the narrowest stretches, which are the silences or quieter moments, and put the start and end there. Listening to the selection a couple of times before downloading saves you from doing it all again.

Ringtones

An iPhone needs ringtones in M4R format, which you create in GarageBand or from a computer. On Android, copying an MP3 into the phone’s ringtones folder is enough. Either way, trim the segment here, export it as MP3 and follow your phone’s steps.

How to use Trim Audio

  1. 1

    Load the audio file

    Drag it onto the drop zone or click to choose it. Any format your browser can play works: MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, FLAC and others.

  2. 2

    Set the start and end

    Drag the edges of the selection on the waveform or use the start and end controls, which go down to a hundredth of a second.

  3. 3

    Preview the selection

    Press Play selection to check that the cut starts and ends exactly where you want.

  4. 4

    Choose the format and download

    WAV keeps the sound lossless; MP3 is much smaller, at 128, 192 or 320 kbps. Press Trim and download.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded to any server?

No. The audio is decoded, trimmed and encoded in your browser, so there is no waiting for an upload or a download back, and the file never leaves your device.

WAV or MP3?

WAV if you will keep editing the audio or want it with no loss at all; it takes about 10 MB per minute in stereo. MP3 for sharing or ringtones: at 192 kbps the loss is barely noticeable and the file is about seven times smaller.

Does trimming lose quality?

Not if you export as WAV: the segment is identical to the original. MP3 means re-encoding, and if the original was already an MP3 you stack two rounds of compression. At 192 kbps or more it is hard to hear.

What if it says it cannot read the audio?

Your browser does not recognise that format. Try another browser, or convert the file to MP3 or WAV first. It happens now and then with unusual formats or with video files.

Is there a size or length limit?

There is no set limit; it depends on your device's memory, because the audio is fully decompressed so it can be trimmed. A file several hours long takes longer to load and may run a phone out of memory.
