Time-based trimming

Set a start and end time to keep only that segment—ideal for cutting intros/outros, keeping a single segment, or creating clips from long episodes. The waveform shows the selected range; you can adjust it by dragging the handles or typing start/end in seconds. Output is re-encoded to your chosen format (MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC, or AAC) so you can also reduce file size or change format in one step.

Best practices

  • Use the waveform handles to visually pick the exact start and end; the numeric fields stay in sync.
  • Use Intro or Outro presets for quick 2-minute clips, then fine-tune with the handles if needed.
  • For smaller files, choose MP3 or M4A and a lower bitrate (e.g. 96–128 kbps for speech).
  • For lossless archiving of a segment, choose WAV or FLAC.

Common use cases

  • Cut intros/outrosRemove opening or closing segments from podcast episodes.
  • Extract a segmentKeep only one part (e.g. an interview or topic) from a long recording.
  • Create clipsMake short clips for social or previews.
  • Change formatTrim and export as MP3, M4A, or another format in one step.

Frequently asked questions

Does trimming re-encode the audio?

Yes. You choose the output format (MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC, or AAC). The tool re-encodes only the selected segment. For lossless output use WAV or FLAC.

Is my audio secure?

Yes. All processing happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server.

Can I trim by dragging on the waveform?

Yes. The waveform has a highlighted region with left and right handles (with arrow icons). Drag the handles to set the start and end; the start and end fields update automatically.

What are the quick presets?

Full episode keeps the whole file; Intro (first 2 min) trims to 0–2 minutes; Outro (last 2 min) keeps only the last 2 minutes. Custom means you set the range yourself with the handles or inputs.

Can I play from a specific point?

Yes. Click on the waveform to move the playhead, then click Play from cursor to start playback from that position.
