Audio Editing Online

This is a waveform editor that runs in your browser tab. Open something you recorded here or drag in a file, select the part you care about, then cut it, trim it or fade it. When it sounds right, export a WAV or an MP3.

Most people come to tidy a voice recording: chop the dead air off the start, take out a cough, bring a quiet take up to a normal volume. Music clips and ringtones work the same way, because an edit is just a selection and something you do to it.

Your audio is decoded and edited on your own device and is never uploaded, which matters if the file is an interview or anything private. The buttons are sized for fingers, so editing on a phone works, though a mouse is still quicker for precise selections.

How to Use the Audio File Editor

  1. Open a recording from your library, or drag an audio file onto the editor. It appears as a waveform you can zoom and scroll.

  2. Drag across the waveform to select the part you want to work on. Press play to hear just that part before you change anything.

  3. Cut, trim or split the selection, or apply a fade, normalize the volume or remove silence. Every change can be undone.

  4. Choose L or R to hear and edit one channel on its own, or leave both selected to work on the whole recording.

  5. Export the result as a WAV or an MP3 and save it to your device.

Features of Audio Editing Tool

Cut, trim and split
Select a range and delete it, or keep only that range and throw the rest away. Split divides the clip into separate pieces. If you missed by a few milliseconds, drag either edge of the selection.
Fades you can hear while you set them
Open the fade menu, drag the length and pick a curve. It changes while the audio plays, so there is no apply button and no restarting to compare.
Normalize and remove silence
Normalize raises a quiet recording to a sensible peak level. Trim silence drops the long gaps. The volume control handles the rest.
Left and right on their own
Switch the target to L or R and every edit only touches that side. Both lanes stay on screen, the unused one dims, and playback plays just the side you picked. Go back to L+R to hear everything again.
Markers, undo and looping
Drop a marker where something happens, loop a selection to check a cut, and undo anything you regret.
WAV or MP3
Pick the format under the waveform and press Download. WAV keeps full quality and makes a big file. MP3 is small and fine for sharing.

FAQ

Is this online audio editor free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and exported files carry no watermark.

Are my audio files uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser decodes and edits the file and the result is built on your device. Nothing is sent to our servers.

Which audio files can I open?

Anything your browser can play, which usually means MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC and OPUS. Support differs a little between browsers, so if one file will not open, convert it to WAV or MP3 and try again.

Can I edit only the left or right channel?

Yes. Choose L or R next to the waveform. Cuts, fades, mute and the rest only change that channel, and playback only plays it. Choose L+R to edit both again.

What can I export to?

WAV or MP3. WAV keeps full quality and weighs more. MP3 weighs far less. Use the format menu under the waveform, then press Download.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The buttons are big enough to tap. Selecting an exact range is easier with a mouse, but trimming, fading and exporting are fine on a phone.
