How to cut an MP3
- Choose a song or audio file from your phone or computer.
- Click on the waveform to set the start and end — the nearest marker jumps to where you click — or type exact times below it.
- Press Play selection to check the cut, and adjust until it sounds right.
- Add a fade in or fade out for a smooth start and ending.
- Pick MP3 or WAV and click Cut & download.
What you can make
- Ringtones and alarm tones — the chorus of your favourite song, 20–30 seconds long.
- WhatsApp status and reel music — trim a track to exactly the length of your video.
- Voice notes and interviews — remove silence or mistakes from the start and end.
- Presentations and events — clean clips for entry music or background tracks.

Private and fast
Most online audio cutters upload your file to a server. This one does all the work in your browser using the Web Audio API and the open-source LAME MP3 encoder, so it's quick and your recordings stay private.
Only cut audio you have the right to use. Songs are protected by copyright; personal ringtones from music you own are generally fine, but publishing clips may not be.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account?
You can try everything without one. To download the cut audio, sign in to your account — just an email and a password, created in a few seconds without leaving the page. Your files are still processed only in your browser.
Is my audio file uploaded?
No. The file is decoded, trimmed and encoded entirely in your browser, so it never leaves your device.
How do I make a ringtone?
Pick the part of the song you want (20–30 seconds works well), add a short fade in and fade out, and save as MP3. On Android, copy the file to your phone and choose it under Settings › Sound › Ringtone.
Which quality should I choose?
192 kbps MP3 sounds good for most music at a small size. Use 320 kbps for the best MP3 quality, or WAV if you'll edit the clip further.
Which formats can I open?
Any format your browser can play — MP3, WAV, M4A/AAC and OGG in all modern browsers, and FLAC in most.
