How to use Audio Cutter
  1. Drop your audio file

    Drag an MP3 or WAV file onto the dropzone, or click to browse. The waveform appears once decoding finishes.

  2. Select a range

    Drag the start and end handles on the waveform to choose the slice you want to keep.

  3. Preview the selection

    Press play on the built-in player to hear only the selected range before exporting.

  4. Pick an output format

    Choose MP3 for a smaller file or WAV for lossless quality.

  5. Export and download

    Click export — the cut runs entirely in your browser and the file saves to your device.

Frequently asked questions
Does the cutter upload my file?
No. The entire cut runs client-side using the Web Audio API and OfflineAudioContext. Your audio never leaves the browser.
Which formats are supported?
MP3 and WAV input work everywhere. Other formats depend on your browser — if decoding fails, try the server-side trimmer at /audio-trim instead.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, 100 MB per file. Larger files should be compressed first via the format converter or use the server-side trimmer.
Will the export lose quality?
WAV export is lossless. MP3 export re-encodes at 128 kbps, which is a good balance of size and quality for most material.
