About the MP3 Cutter
MP3 Cutter trims a song, voice note, podcast or recording to exactly the part you need. The waveform shows where the loud and quiet parts are; drag the handles or type the start and end times, preview the selection and add a smooth fade in or fade out.
Save the result as MP3 at your chosen bitrate or as uncompressed WAV. It accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus and FLAC. Everything happens in your browser: the file never leaves your phone or computer, is not uploaded to any server and is not stored by News Appite.
It is ideal for trimming voice notes before sharing, cutting a speech or lecture to the important minutes, or making intros and background clips for videos.

Frequently asked questions
Which audio formats can I cut?
MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus and FLAC (support for OGG and Opus depends on your browser).
Does cutting reduce quality?
The selection is re-encoded; at 192 kbps or higher the difference is inaudible for most listeners, and WAV output is lossless.
Can I add fade in and fade out?
Yes. Tick the boxes and choose the fade length.
Is my audio uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
Can I cut a WhatsApp voice note?
Yes. WhatsApp voice notes are Opus audio; open them in Chrome or Firefox, select the part you want and save it as MP3.
How precise is the cut?
You can set times to a tenth of a second by typing them, and preview the selection before saving.
Is there a length limit?
