An audio cutter that never uploads
Most cutter sites ask you to upload a file, wait, then download a clip. AudioDrop cuts on your own phone or computer. The waveform is drawn from the file in memory, and the MP3 or WAV is encoded there too.
There is no account, no watermark and no queue. Once the page has loaded, cutting keeps working if the connection drops.
MP3 cutter for a clip you already have
Drop an MP3, or any other audio file, and keep the part you want. The rest is left out of the download. The original file on your device is not changed.
Use it to keep one answer from an interview, shorten a voice memo, or take a short piece of a recording you made. Export MP3 when you want a small file, or WAV when you want to edit again without another generation of loss.
Make a ringtone from your own recording
A ringtone is a short clip, usually under 30 seconds. Drop a recording you have the right to use, drag the handles until the length looks right, and export MP3.
Play the selection before you save. If the start or the end feels abrupt, add a short fade. A tenth of a second is enough to take the click off a hard cut. A longer fade sounds smoother on music you recorded.
| Length | A common use |
|---|---|
| Under 30 seconds | A phone ringtone |
| A few seconds | A notification or an alert |
| One sentence | A voice memo you want to keep |
| The whole file | A format change to MP3 or WAV, with no trim |
Fade in and fade out
Fades are optional. At zero, the cut starts and stops exactly on the handles. Turn a fade up and the export, and the preview, ease across that many seconds.
The fade cannot be longer than half the selection, so the two fades never pile up in the middle. What you hear when you press play is the same shape as the file you download.
Cut the sound from a video
Drop a video and the cutter keeps the soundtrack. The picture is discarded. That is useful when a screen recording or a clip from your camera has the sound you want and you do not need the image.
Very long videos use more memory, because the audio is decoded in full before you trim. If a phone struggles, cut a shorter file, or convert the video to MP3 first and then trim that.
Cut audio on a phone, in private
On a computer, drag the file onto the page. On iPhone, open this page in Safari, tap the drop area and pick a file from the Files app. Voice memos can be saved to Files first. On Android, open it in Chrome and pick the file from your downloads.
The handles are made for touch. Drag the start, the end, or the selected region itself to slide the clip along the waveform.
Nothing is uploaded. There is no sign-up and no charge. It works in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on Mac, Windows and Linux, and in mobile browsers on iPhone and Android.
