How to use trim audio

  1. Select an audio file; a waveform renders locally.

  2. Set start and end points on the waveform or with time fields.

  3. The selection is cut sample-accurately from the decoded audio.

  4. Export WAV or WebM/Opus; duration is verified before download.

What this tool does

  • Local waveform rendering
  • Sample-accurate cutting (no re-encode needed for WAV output)
  • Preview the selection before exporting
  • WAV and WebM/Opus output

How the result is verified

The exported audio is re-decoded and its duration compared with your selected range within a few milliseconds.

Frequently asked questions

Will trimming reduce my audio quality?

WAV export is lossless — the selected samples are written exactly as decoded. Opus export re-encodes at a quality suitable for voice and general listening.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The file is opened with your browser's File API and processed by code running in your tab. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network panel, and process a file — no request carries your file's bytes. See our How it works page for a step-by-step verification guide.
