WAV Cutter
Trim WAV by start and end. Waveform handles, presets, fade in/out. Lossless. Free, client-side.
Cutting WAV files keeps one segment between a start and end time. Ideal for extracting a take, removing silence, or preparing a clip from a master. Processing is in-browser; your audio stays local.
When to use WAV Cutter vs other formats
Use the cutter for one trimmed WAV segment; use the splitter for multiple segments. WAV is lossless—cutting at frame boundaries can be lossless. Convert to MP3 or FLAC after cutting if you need smaller files. Prefer WAV when editing or archiving.
Compatibility
Output remains WAV. Works in every DAW and player. Client-side only.
Quality considerations
Lossless cutting preserves full quality. No re-encoding when cutting at frame boundaries. Output size depends on segment duration.
Example use cases
- Extract a single take or section from a WAV recording.
- Trim silence from the beginning or end of a WAV.
- Create a short WAV clip from a longer session.
- Cut a portion of a master for review or delivery.
- Remove unwanted material from the start or end of a WAV.
Best practices
- Set start and end precisely using the waveform handles or the cursor (Start at cursor / End at cursor).
- Use a short fade in (0.5–1 s) and fade out (1–1.5 s) to avoid abrupt edges.
- Preview the cut with the result waveform before downloading.
- For lossless output use WAV or FLAC; for smallest size use MP3 or M4A at your chosen bitrate.
- Keep WAV as output when your source is already WAV to avoid unnecessary re-encoding.
