Keep or delete
| Choice | Result |
|---|---|
| Keep selection | Only the selected part is saved. Use it to make a ringtone or a short clip. |
| Delete selection | The selected part is removed and the two sides are joined. Use it to cut out a mistake or a long pause. |
Tips
- Fades of 0.5 to 1 second work well for ringtones and clips.
- When you delete a section, the tool adds a few milliseconds of fade at the join so it does not click.
- Choose WAV if you plan to edit the clip further. Choose MP3 to share it.
- Use the time boxes for exact cuts and the waveform for quick ones.
Limits
The whole file is decoded in memory, so very long recordings can be slow on a phone. The cut is made at the times you set, not at beat or silence boundaries. We tested desktop Chrome only.
Privacy
Your audio never leaves your device. There is no upload, no account and no watermark.
FAQ
How do I make a ringtone from a song?
Load the song, select the part you want, choose Keep selection, add a short fade out, and save it as M4A or MP3. Check what your phone accepts first.
How do I remove a section from the middle?
Select that section and choose Delete selection. The parts before and after are joined into one file.
Can I cut a WAV or M4A file?
Yes. Any audio your browser can read works. You can save the result as MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG.
Is the cut exact?
The length follows the start and end you set. In our test, a selection from 0:02 to 0:05 of a 10 second file came out at 3.000 seconds.
Does cutting reduce quality?
The file is decoded and saved again. Choosing WAV adds no further loss. MP3, M4A and OGG are lossy, so pick a high bitrate if quality matters.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything happens inside your browser tab.
