What is Audio Cutting?
Audio cutting (or trimming) extracts specific segments from audio files by specifying start and end times. Perfect for removing unwanted sections, creating clips, or extracting highlights from longer recordings without re-encoding the entire file.
Our tool provides precision control with second-level accuracy, allowing you to cut exactly the segment you need while maintaining the original audio quality.

- Upload your audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC supported)
- Use the interactive timeline to select the segment you want to keep
- Drag the green (start) and red (end) handles to adjust precisely
- Click play to preview your selection
- Click "Cut Audio" to extract the segment
- Download your trimmed audio file

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the right start and end times?
Play your audio in a media player that shows timestamps. Note the times where you want your clip to start and end, then enter those values in seconds.
Can I cut multiple segments from one file?
Currently, you can cut one segment at a time. To extract multiple clips, process the file multiple times with different time ranges.
Will cutting reduce audio quality?
No. The tool cuts without re-encoding, preserving the original audio quality perfectly. Only the specified segment is extracted.
What if I enter the wrong times?
Simply try again with corrected times. The original file remains unchanged, so you can cut different segments as many times as needed.
Can I convert minutes to seconds?
Yes. Multiply minutes by 60. For example, 1:30 (1 minute 30 seconds) = 90 seconds. Enter 90 as the start or end time.
Are my audio files stored?
No. All processing is secure and files are automatically deleted after cutting. We never store or access your audio.
Tips for Best Results
- Listen to your audio first to identify exact timestamps
- Add a small buffer (0.5-1 second) before/after to avoid cutting words
- For ringtones, aim for 15-30 second clips
- Use 0.1 second precision for very accurate cuts
- Keep original files as backups before cutting
- Test cuts with conservative times first, then adjust if needed
