Audio cutter trim any track, free

Drop a file in, drag the two handles to the part you want to keep, and download it as an MP3.

Free, nothing installed — no account needed, and files up to 2GB / 15 minutes are fine.

By ShinobiTools Team · Last updated: August 2026

Full-quality stems. No account, no per-track fee. Same model and same 192 kbps (or lossless WAV) as the paid tier — tracks up to 15 minutes.

This is a music cutter and an audio file cutter as much as an audio cutter — every upload can be MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC or OGG, and the download always comes back as an MP3.

What goes in and what comes out

As an audio trimmer it accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG or a video file — the sound is taken out of a video automatically. You always get an MP3 back, encoded at high-quality VBR. Drop in a video and this becomes a video cutter in the process. Drop in a track and it's a plain audio cutter — same waveform, same handles.

Different names, same tool

This is an audio cutter free of any install and an audio cutter app in the same browser tab — no download, up to 2GB or 15 minutes per file. That's the same audio cutter mp3 result every time — no lower-quality free tier hiding behind the free trim.

As an audio mp3 cutter online it needs just a browser tab — the trimmed file downloads as a fresh MP3 at your original quality. Search mp3 audio cutter online and you land on the same two-handle waveform. An mp3 online cutter that also opens WAV, M4A, FLAC and OGG saves a second download for other formats. To cut mp3 file online, drag the handles to the part you want and hit download. Wanting to cut songs online mp3 usually means trimming an intro or fading out early — the waveform view makes that easy. A cut mp3 or cut song job both start the same way here: drag the handles over the waveform. An audio cut removes everything outside the handles, and to cut audio file work with WAV, M4A, FLAC or OGG too, not just MP3.

The same goes for a sound file: a sound cutter online, cutting songs online in general, or audio cutting online — even audio cutter online free of any catch, it's the same waveform trimmer underneath.

A lot of people have a ringtone in mind rather than a plain clip — mp3 cutter ringtone maker and mp3 cutter and ringtone maker turn up almost as often as plain cutting — so trim the hook to 20–30 seconds and download the MP3. Android takes an MP3 straight as a ringtone; iPhone needs GarageBand or iTunes to turn it into an M4R first. Just as many are chasing a YouTube song, searching youtube cutter mp3 or youtube mp3 cutter, but this page can't pull audio from a link — download the video first (our extract audio from video tool handles that), then drop the file in here.

Coming from a specific product? Whether you were pointed at a clideo mp3 cutter, a clideo audio cutter, or a 123apps mp3 cutter, this free page does the same drag-and-cut without a paywall after a few exports — the same steps whether you're wondering how to cut a song or how to trim mp3 files, on a phone or a desktop.

Want the pieces back together afterwards instead — an audio trimmer and merger, or an online mp3 joiner and cutter workflow? Cut first, then stitch the results back with the audio joiner.

Search an online cutter mp3 or a mp3 cutter free tool and this page answers both: no account, no software, drop the file in above and drag the handles. It works as a free song cutter online from a phone as much as a desktop, so if you're after how to cut mp3, how to trim a song, or want it as a song cutter app, drop the file in above.

How to trim an audio file
  1. Drop your file in the box above.
  2. Drag the Start and End handles to the part you want to keep — the greyed-out parts are what gets thrown away.
  3. Press Play selection to hear exactly that piece.
  4. Press Cut it and download the MP3.
Making a ringtone

That's the most common reason people land here. Trim to the hook — around 20 to 30 seconds is the usual length — and download the MP3. On Android you can set an MP3 as a ringtone directly; on iPhone the ringtone has to be an M4R made in GarageBand or iTunes, which is an Apple restriction rather than something a website can do for you.

Used this way, it's really just a free way to cut a ringtone: pick the hook, drag the handles around it, and download the MP3 before converting it if your phone needs that extra step.

Runs on any device

As an audio cutter browser tool it needs nothing beyond Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox. There's no separate audio cutter for pc build and no audio cutter android install — the same page works on any device.

When you want more than a trim

Cutting keeps everything that was in that stretch, singing and backing together. If you need them apart — the vocal on its own, the backing without the singer — that's the vocal remover on the home page, on the same file. Two clips to put after each other instead? Use the audio joiner. Recording something first? The voice recorder runs in this same browser tab.

Making a Discord soundboard clip

There is a Discord soundboard clip checkbox in the cutting panel above, and it does two things a plain trim does not. It holds the clip to 5 seconds, which is Discord's hard ceiling for a soundboard sound — go over and the upload is simply refused — and it evens out the loudness, because a clip that was quiet in the source is still quiet coming out of somebody's headphones mid-conversation. That second part is what separates a usable discord soundboard maker from a trimmer: the sound has to land, not just fit.

What you get back is an MP3, which is what Discord wants, so discord soundboard mp3 and mp3 to discord soundboard are the same trip through this page: drop the file in, drag the handles over the bit you want, tick the box, download, then add it in Discord under Server Settings → Soundboard. The source can be an MP3, a WAV, or the audio off a video — it all comes out the same way.

More cutting jobs, one tool

This page lets you cut music free of any account, watermark or daily cap on trims. The waveform view shows exactly where the beat drops, so marking the start and end point is quick even on a long track.

As a voice cutter it treats a phone call recording or a voice memo exactly like a song upload — the format only has to be something that plays as audio. Once the cut is made, the file is deleted from the server within 45 minutes (24 hours if you bought a month pass — that longer window is part of what the pass is for).

Used as an audio snipping tool, it marks a start and end point on the waveform and exports just that stretch, down to a hundredth of a second. The arrow keys nudge each handle for that kind of fine work, once the rough cut is already close.

As a music cutter online mp3 tool, every export lands back as an MP3, whatever format went in — MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG or the audio track pulled from a video. There's nothing to install first; the upload box above is the whole tool.

An mp3 cut here keeps close to the original quality, since the trimmed piece is re-encoded at roughly 190 kbps VBR rather than a lower bitrate. Starting from a WAV or FLAC file, that's the only compression step involved.

As cutter music, this handles a full song or a short clip on one two-handle waveform, with a play button to preview the selection before committing to it.

To cut mp3 online, drag the handles over the part to keep, press cut, and the MP3 downloads straight from the browser, with no software to install first.

As an online audio trimmer, it also opens WAV, M4A, FLAC and OGG files, not only MP3 — the output format stays MP3 regardless of what went in.

Being an mp3 cutter online free of any paywall, the export quality doesn't drop if a pass never gets bought — free and paid trims come off the same waveform tool.

As an audio cropper, the waveform view makes it easy to spot silence and the chorus before marking the cut, and the selection can be replayed as many times as needed first.

Common questions

How do I shorten an MP3 online?

Drag the two handles over the waveform to mark the part you want, press cut, and download — the file is trimmed to just that section.

Can I trim audio from a phone call or voice memo?

Yes — drop the recording in the same way as any other audio file; the format doesn't matter, only that it plays as audio.

Is the audio cutter free?

Yes — no account, no e-mail, no watermark and no cap on how many files you trim.

Can I trim a WAV, M4A or MP4?

Yes. Those all go in; what comes out is an MP3. On a video file the audio track is pulled out first, so you get sound without picture.

Does cutting lose quality?

The cut piece is re-encoded to MP3 at high-quality VBR (roughly 190 kbps). On a file that was already MP3 you're re-compressing once, which nobody hears. Starting from WAV or FLAC there is a single compression step.

Can I cut out the middle and keep both ends?

Not in one pass. Cut the first piece, cut the second, then put them back together with the audio joiner.

Can I paste a YouTube link?

No — upload a file you already have. Downloading from someone else's server is a different thing and we don't do it.

Is my upload stored?

No. Your upload is deleted the moment it's processed and the stems are wiped from the server within 45 minutes (24 hours if you bought a month pass — that longer window is part of what the pass is for). Nothing is stored, shared or used to train anything — see privacy.

Do I need an audio cutter and merger both, or is that two separate steps?

Two separate free tools sharing one upload flow: cut here, then combine the pieces with the audio joiner — no single tool does both in one pass.

One pair, no separate accounts — the same no-sign-up rule applies on both pages, and files move between them as a plain MP3 download.

Does an audio book cutter use case work the same as cutting a song?

Yes — drop in the audiobook chapter like any other file, drag the handles to the section you want, and export just that piece as an MP3.

Yes — WAV, M4A and MP4 all go in, and an MP3 always comes back out, already trimmed to the section you marked.

Only the sound — on a video file the audio track is pulled out first, so the download is a plain MP3 with no picture attached.

Is there an audio cutter download for Windows or Mac, or does it all stay in the browser?

Everything stays in the browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on Windows or Mac all work the same, with nothing to download or install.
