Audio Trimmer

Trim any audio file — MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, M4A — to a precise start and end time entered as HH:MM:SS. A lossless stream copy keeps the output bit-identical to the source within that range, and everything runs in your browser so the file never leaves your device.

How to use this tool

  1. 01

    Upload your audio

    Drop in or choose any format FFmpeg supports — it's processed locally and never uploaded.

  2. 02

    Set start and end times

    Enter HH:MM:SS for both, or scrub the preview player to find the exact points.

  3. 03

    Trim and download

    Stream copy is near-instant and lossless when the codec allows; the file downloads in one click.

Why this matters

A raw recording almost never starts and ends where you want it to — there's a count-in, dead air, a fumbled intro, or a music bed that runs long. Cutting that down is one of the most common audio chores for podcasters, video editors, and musicians, and firing up a full DAW just to lop off thirty seconds is overkill.

This tool does it in the browser with a lossless stream copy, so the kept section is bit-identical to the source and nothing is uploaded — which matters for unreleased music and confidential interviews. Pair it with the Audio Merger to recombine separately-trimmed sections, or the Audio Fade In/Out tool to smooth the cut points, and you can assemble a clean episode without opening a DAW.

FAQ

Trimming is the fix for the rough edges of a raw recording: cutting dead air or a count-in at the start, lifting a single soundbite out of a long interview, or shortening a music bed so it fits a video's runtime exactly. It's also how you drop the awkward fumbling before a podcast actually begins. Anytime you only need part of a file, trimming is faster and cleaner than loading the whole thing into a DAW.
