⚠️ The Problem

Your 5-minute recording has 30 seconds of the interview sound bite you need. Or you want a ringtone from a song but need just the chorus. Editing audio shouldn't require expensive software.

The Solution

Trim audio files with precision using our visual waveform editor. See exactly where sounds start and end, set precise cut points, and export just the portion you need. Works with MP3, WAV, M4A, and more.
