How to cut an MP3 on iPhone or Android

Open this page in your phone’s browser – Safari or Chrome – and tap “Choose file”.

Pick a song, voice memo or video. On iPhone, save Voice Memos to Files first (⋯ → Share → Save to Files).
Drag the two handles on the waveform, or type the start and end times for an exact cut.

How to trim audio on Windows and Mac

Drag the file onto the page. Drag the handles on the waveform to select roughly, then type the start and end times to fine-tune. Play the selection to check it, and save as MP3 (small) or WAV (lossless) – no installer and no upload.

Make a ringtone

Select the part you want – usually the chorus – add a short fade in and out, and save as MP3.

Android: save the MP3, then in Settings → Sound → Ringtone add it from your files (menu names vary by phone).
iPhone: ringtones must be M4R files. Open the MP3 in Apple’s free GarageBand app and use Share → Ringtone, or on a Mac drag an M4R into Finder while the iPhone is connected. Keep it to 30 seconds or less.

What people trim audio for

Common jobs this MP3 cutter handles:

Ringtones and alarm tones from a favourite song.
Removing silence, coughs or false starts at the start and end of a recording.
Cutting a quote or highlight from a podcast, lecture or interview to share.
Shortening a song to fit a video, presentation or performance.
Taking the audio of just one part of a video.

Fades

A fade in or fade out of a second or two makes a cut sound deliberate instead of abrupt – especially for ringtones and music clips. For speech, a very short fade (or none) keeps the first and last words intact.

Limitations

Up to 60 minutes and 500 MB per file.
Which input formats open depends on your browser: Chrome and Edge read the most formats.
One selection per file.

Privacy

Files you choose are read into your browser’s memory and processed on your device; they are not uploaded to a server. Temporary download links are released after use, and the offline cache never stores your documents. More about privacy and limits.

Frequently asked questions

Does cutting reduce the quality?

The selection is re-encoded at the quality you choose (192 kbps by default), which sounds the same as the original for nearly everyone. Choose WAV for no further loss.

How do I cut out a part from the middle?

This tool keeps one selection per file. Cut the part before the section you want to remove, then the part after it, and join the two with the audio joiner.

Can I cut to an exact second?

Yes. Type the start and end times into the fields below the waveform instead of dragging.

Can I trim the audio of a video?

Yes. Choose an MP4, MOV or WebM video; you get the selected audio as MP3 or WAV (the picture is not kept).

Is there a watermark or a length limit on the result?

No watermark. Files can be up to 60 minutes long, and the part you keep can be any length.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The audio is decoded and processed in your browser, so recordings and videos never leave your device.

Is it free?

Yes – free with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit.

How long can a recording be?

Up to 60 minutes per file (and 500 MB). The whole recording is held in your device’s memory while it is processed, so very long files need a computer rather than an older phone.
