Common jobs for an audio trimmer

An audio trimmer lets you keep only the part of a recording you need: a clip from a longer interview, the best section of a voice memo, or a short sample from a track. Enter the start time and the length you want, and the tool exports exactly that section as an MP3.

Listen to the file first so you know the timestamps you want. To join several trimmed sections afterward, send them through the Audio Merger, and if the clip came out too quiet, raise it with the Volume Booster.

Frequently asked questions

How precise is the cut?

Down to a tenth of a second, based on what you enter.

Can I fade in or out?

Not yet — this tool performs a hard cut only.

What format is the output?

Always MP3, regardless of the source format. Output is MP3, so a WAV input becomes lossy.

Is my audio uploaded anywhere?

No. The trimming runs in your browser tab using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your file stays on your device.

Can I keep more than one section?

Not in a single pass, because each run keeps one section. Trim each part separately, then join them with the Audio Merger.
