Local processing. No uploads. No account needed.
Trim a song, voice note, or recording to the part you want to keep. Select a range on the waveform, listen to it, and download your clip.

From a local recording to a clip you can use, in three steps.
Choose a file from your device or drop it into the editor. A waveform appears when the file is ready.
Drag the waveform handles or enter exact start and end times. Play the selection to check both ends of the clip.
Choose an output format, review the output duration, and select Download Audio.
Use the online MP3 cutter to save a chorus, an interview highlight, or another continuous section. Open an MP3 and preview the range you want to keep. Under Output format, choose MP3 and select a bitrate from 128 to 320 kbps. Then select Download Audio.
Control without the clutter
Set precise cut points, preview the selected audio, and adjust the sound before you download.
See the whole recording before choosing a section. Zoom into the waveform, drag either purple boundary or move the selected region. Start and end fields update with your selection, and accept precise timestamps down to milliseconds.

The Audio Cutter separates listening from processing. Preview Speed ranges from 0.25× to 2× for checking a phrase. Export Speed ranges from 0.5× to 2× and actually changes the downloaded audio. A four-second selection exported at 2× becomes about two seconds.

Fade In raises the opening from silence; Fade Out lowers the ending to silence. Set each fade in seconds, or leave it at zero to keep it off. Adjust volume from 0–200% and preview the selection before downloading. Higher gain can cause clipping on loud recordings.

For the things you make
Use the music cutter to save a chorus, a hook, or a short sample from a track you have permission to use. Preview both ends of the selection so the first note and the last sound have room to finish.
Listen to both edges of the selection. Leave enough room for the opening note and the last sound to finish.
CHORUS EXCERPT
20seconds to keep
00:42→01:02
Turn a longer conversation into a focused podcast preview or interview excerpt. This online Audio Cutter lets you trim the silence before an answer and stop after the thought is complete, so the clip makes sense on its own.
Keep a little breathing room around speech. A clean excerpt should preserve the speaker’s meaning and natural rhythm.
INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHT
30seconds to keep
02:10→02:40
Trim a voice memo, rehearsal take, recorded lesson or narration into a useful reference. Choose one explanation or phrase with the Audio Cutter, then save a shorter file for reviewing, sharing or bringing into another project.
Use Preview Speed to listen more slowly, then leave Export Speed at 1× if you want the downloaded voice to keep its original pace.
VOICE NOTE
30seconds to keep
00:15→00:45
Select a short phrase with a clear beginning and preview how it ends. Add a short fade if needed, then download the clip in a format your device accepts. Set the clip as your ringtone in your device settings.
Phone ringtone requirements vary. MusicGo exports MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC and OGG; setting a ringtone is a separate step on your device.

EASY SHARING
A practical choice for compact music clips, previews and everyday sharing. Choose 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps. Higher bitrates usually mean larger files.
Lossy · 128–320 kbps
EDITING & DELIVERY
To trim a WAV file, choose the section you want to keep and select WAV under Output format. Export PCM 16-bit WAV when an editor or delivery specification asks for uncompressed audio. Expect a larger file than a compressed MP3 of the same length.
Uncompressed · PCM 16-bit
COMPACT AAC AUDIO
Use AAC in an M4A container for compact clips and workflows that accept this format. Choose 128–320 kbps and check the receiving app’s requirements.
Lossy AAC · 128–320 kbps
LOSSLESS COMPRESSION
Keep the processed PCM without another lossy encoding step. FLAC compresses losslessly, though the final size depends on the recording and selected duration.
Lossless · Compressed
VORBIS WORKFLOWS
Export OGG Vorbis for games, applications and other workflows that support it. The Audio Cutter uses Vorbis quality 5. Playback support varies by browser and device.
Lossy Vorbis · Quality 5
Exports start from processed PCM 16-bit audio. WAV and FLAC avoid an additional lossy codec step; they do not restore detail missing from the source.
Your browser processes and exports the audio on your device. You can trim and download a clip without signing up or using credits. Save the clip before you close the page.
Before you make the cut
Straight answers about formats, privacy, sound quality and the way this Audio Cutter works.
Yes. You can trim, preview, and download a clip without signing up or using MusicGo credits.
Your browser processes and exports your audio on your device. Download the clip before closing the page.
You can open MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, and WebM audio, depending on your browser’s decoding support. You can export MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, or OGG.
Yes. Use touch to drag the selection handles or enter precise start and end timestamps. Choose a file up to 50 MB on desktop or 20 MB on mobile. Decoded audio is limited to 40 million samples across all channels. Browser codec support and available memory vary; try a shorter WAV or MP3 copy if a file cannot be opened.
The editor exports one continuous section at a time. To save another passage, change the selection and export again. Joining the audio on either side of a cut requires a separate editing step.
MP3, M4A, and OGG are re-encoded with lossy compression. WAV and FLAC avoid another lossy encoding step. Choose a format that fits how you plan to use the clip.
Export Speed changes the clip’s duration and pitch. Fade In, Fade Out, and Volume also apply to the downloaded clip. Preview Speed only changes how you listen in the editor.
