Features

Precise Waveform Editing

Visual waveform display with drag-to-select and handle fine-tuning, accurate to the millisecond. Zoom up to 20x to ensure every cut point is exactly right.

Media Stays on Your Device

Audio and video content is decoded, edited, and exported locally in your browser instead of being sent to our servers.

Audio and Video Input

Open common audio files or extract the audio track locally from MP4, MOV, WebM, and other video formats.

Multi-Segment Merge

More than just cutting! Select multiple segments, reorder them freely, and merge for export. Perfect for ringtones, podcast editing, music mashups, and more.

Independent Fades per Segment

Give every segment its own fade in, fade out, and duration to smooth beginnings, endings, and edit points.

MP3, WAV, and M4R Export

Download 192kbps MP3, 16-bit PCM WAV, or create an M4R ringtone for iPhone directly.

How to Use the MP3 Cutter

1

Choose an Audio File

Click the upload area or drop an audio or video file. The browser reads it locally instead of uploading it first.

2

Select the Segment to Trim

Click and drag on the waveform to select a segment. Drag the left and right edge handles to fine-tune the start and end times, or enter precise time values directly.

3

Preview and Add Segments

Click "Preview Selection" to confirm the result. For multi-segment merging, click "Add Segment" to collect multiple sections with drag-to-reorder support.

4

Export and Download

MP3 and WAV export the segment list when it contains clips; otherwise they export the current selection. M4R exports only the current selection, up to 30 seconds. Play the download to check it; installing it as an iPhone ringtone is a separate step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MP3 Cutter free to use?

Yes. It requires no account and has no usage limit. Multi-segment merging, fades, video audio extraction, and MP3, WAV, or M4R export are free.

Will my audio files be uploaded to a server?

No. Media content is decoded, edited, and exported in your browser and is not sent to our servers. The site still loads advertising, CDN, and necessary website services; see the Privacy Policy.

What audio formats are supported?

Audio is decoded by the browser’s Web Audio implementation. For video, a local FFmpeg component extracts the first audio track. Files with the same extension can use different codecs, so not every file is supported. Export options are MP3 (192 kbps), WAV (16-bit PCM), and M4R (AAC, 192 kbps). DRM-protected media and files without a readable audio track are not suitable.

Is there a file size limit?

The code sets no fixed file-size cap, and 500 MB is not a guaranteed safe threshold. Decoded audio can use much more memory than its compressed source. Duration, channels, device RAM, and browser limits matter. Try a short file first, keep the original, and use a desktop editor if decoding or memory fails.

Can I use it on my phone?

The page can be used on a phone, but successful decoding and export are not guaranteed for every iOS or Android version or input codec. Test a short clip first. If the video or M4R component fails to load, check the connection, update the browser, or try a desktop device.

How do I make a phone ringtone?

The M4R button exports only the current selection, up to 30 seconds; it does not merge the segment list. Downloading M4R does not install a ringtone on an iPhone. For Apple’s GarageBand workflow, download MP3 or WAV, import it, and share it as a ringtone using Apple’s instructions. Available steps depend on the iOS version.

What is the quality of the exported MP3?

MP3 export uses the LAME encoder at a constant 192kbps and performs another lossy encode. Export WAV to avoid adding another lossy encode; WAV cannot restore information already discarded by the source file.

How do I trim an audio file to a selected time range?

Load an audio file, set the start and end points and preview the selected segment. Choose an output format and export when the selection is correct.

Can I create an M4R ringtone in my browser?

Choose the M4R output option and export the selected short segment. Downloading an M4R file does not install it on an iPhone; transfer and setup depend on your device workflow.
