Play just the selected part before you export, then fine-tune the start and end by dragging the handles, so the cut lands precisely on the beat or the silence with no trial and error.
- Export MP3 or WAV
Download the cut as a compact MP3 file at 192 kbps for sharing and ringtones, or a lossless 16-bit WAV when you need full quality for editing in a DAW.
- Private and in the browser

MP3 Cutter FAQ
- What is an MP3 cutter?
- An MP3 cutter is a free online tool that trims an audio file down to the part you want. You drop a track, select a section on its waveform, preview it, and export just that piece as a new MP3 or WAV file.
- Is it free?
- Yes. The MP3 cutter is completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser. Your audio file is decoded locally and never uploaded to a server.
- Is my audio file uploaded?
- No. The file is read and cut on your own device using the Web Audio API, so nothing is uploaded. That keeps even large or unreleased tracks private and makes the cut instant.
- What audio files can I cut?
- Common formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC and OGG. The file is decoded right in your browser, so you can cut it locally and export the result as an MP3 or WAV file.
- Can I make a ringtone with it?
- Yes. Cut the section of the song you want, keep it short, and export it as an MP3. You can then set the file as a ringtone or notification sound on your phone.
- Does the cut lose quality?
- Exporting WAV is lossless and keeps the original quality. Exporting MP3 re-compresses the cut at 192 kbps, which is small and clean for sharing. The cut itself is sample-accurate either way.
- Can I cut audio on my phone?
- Yes. The MP3 cutter runs in any modern mobile browser. Drop or choose a file, drag your selection on the waveform, and export the trimmed file right on your phone.
