About This Online Audio Trimmer
Guitar Tool Hub's free audio trimmer is an online MP3 cutter and sound trimmer that runs entirely in your browser. Load one MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, or FLAC file and it's drawn as a waveform with a start and end handle — drag them (or tap the waveform, or type exact times to a tenth of a second) to keep just the part you want. Add a fade in and fade out so the clip doesn't start or stop abruptly, preview the selection with the fades applied, and download it as a 192 kbps MP3 or a lossless WAV. Use it to cut a song down to a ringtone or intro, clip a sound effect, or trim the silence off a recording. Guitarists can cut a practice recording down to the take worth keeping, or clip the solo out of a song to loop and learn. Nothing is uploaded, and the original file is never changed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Load the MP3 into the audio trimmer, then drag the start and end handles on the waveform to the part you want to keep — or type the exact times. Press Preview selection to check it, add a fade in or out if you like, then choose MP3 or WAV and press Trim & download. It all happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Both names describe the same job: you cut a song or sound file down to one section and save that section as a new file. This tool keeps the part between the two handles and drops everything before and after it.
Three ways: drag the handles on the waveform, type the time in seconds into the Start and End fields, or use the − and + buttons to nudge each point by a tenth of a second. You can also press Preview selection and tap Mark start and Mark end at the moments you hear them.
Yes. The Fade in and Fade out sliders go up to 10 seconds each. The volume ramp is drawn on the waveform as an orange line, the preview plays it, and it's rendered into the downloaded file.
Yes — trim the song to the part you want (ringtones are usually 30 seconds or less), add a short fade out, and download it as MP3, which Android phones can use directly. iPhones need ringtones in the M4R format, so an MP3 has to be converted before it can be set as an iPhone ringtone.
No. Decoding, trimming, and exporting all run locally in your browser using the Web Audio API. Your file is never sent anywhere, and the original is not changed — you download a new, trimmed copy.
Cut a practice recording down to the take worth keeping, trim the dead air before you start playing, clip the solo or riff out of a song to loop and learn it, or cut a backing track to just the section you want to jam over.
The audio trimmer keeps one section of one file. To stitch several clips together end-to-end, use the Audio Joiner; to layer tracks so they play at the same time, use the Online Audio Mixer.
