Audio Trim and Edit

Cuts a section from a song or a recording, with a soft fade and loudness matching

Upload an audio file or a video, choose where the section starts and ends, listen to it before you download, and get MP3, M4A or WAV. You can add a soft fade at both ends so the clip does not open or stop in the middle of a word, and you can match the loudness to the broadcast standard the social platforms use so it does not sound weak next to everything else. Useful for a ringtone, a clip from a talk or a podcast, an intro sound for a video, and for pulling the audio out of a video you filmed. Everything runs on your own machine, the file is never sent anywhere, and there is no length limit beyond what your computer can handle.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload a video?

Yes. The audio is pulled out and the video is discarded, so you can turn a filmed talk into an audio file without another tool.

What does the soft fade do?

Instead of the clip starting and stopping on a hard cut, the sound rises and falls over half a second at each end. That is the difference between a clip that sounds edited and one that sounds chopped.

What is loudness matching?

It matches the broadcast standard Instagram, YouTube and Spotify use. Without it a quietly recorded clip stays quiet after upload; with it, it sits at the same level as everything else.

Is the file sent to a server?

No. The trimming runs in your browser, so you can work here on a recording of a meeting or of a client.

Which formats are supported?

Almost any common audio or video format goes in, and the output is MP3, M4A or WAV. MP3 to share, M4A for iPhone, and WAV when you need full quality for further editing.
