Why this audio cutter is different
- Focused on a clean in/out trim rather than a full DAW interface.
- Works well after audio extraction, before silence removal, or before normalization.
- Local processing keeps interviews, calls, classes, and voice notes on your device.
Task-focused FAQ
Should I cut before normalizing?
Yes. Trim the final section first, then normalize the audio that will actually be used.
Can I cut MP3 without quality loss?
Fast lossless cuts are possible around frame boundaries; exact edits may require re-encoding.
Can I remove several sections at once?
This page is best for one clean range. Use a timeline editor for complex multi-section edits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the cut lossless?
Yes — stream-copy (-c copy) means no re-encoding. The output is bit-identical to the original within the chosen range. Start/end may snap to the nearest keyframe or frame boundary depending on codec.
Which formats are supported?
MP3, WAV, AAC/M4A, OGG, FLAC, Opus, and most other common audio formats. The output format matches the input — converting between formats is handled by the Audio Converter tool.
Does my audio upload anywhere?
No. The file stays in your browser tab — open DevTools → Network tab while cutting to verify zero requests leave your machine.
