How to cut an audio file
To use the Audio Cutter, load one audio file, then set the start and end time for the part you want to keep. The tool isolates that range and lets you export it as a new, shorter file without affecting the original on your device.
You can export the clip as MP3, which is the default and plays everywhere, or trim supported files back out in their original format when you want to preserve the source codec. Both options run entirely in your browser.
- Load an M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC, or OGG file
- Set the start and end time of the clip
- Export as MP3 or the original format
Why this matters beyond MP3-only cutters
People often just need to cut one audio file, regardless of whether it came from a voice memo, recording app, lecture export, or messaging app. A broader cutter that accepts M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC, and OGG matches that real-world workflow better than a format-specific page alone.
Because the cut happens locally, your recording never leaves your computer. That privacy matters for interviews, voice notes, and personal audio, where uploading a file to a server is exactly what you want to avoid.
