Cut an MP3, Get the Trimmed Section
ScreenApp’s MP3 cutter trims a section out of an audio file in your browser. Upload the file, drag the waveform to mark the start and end points, and download the cut. There is nothing to install.
The tool works two ways: trim to keep only the section you selected, or cut to remove that section and join what is left. Either way, trims or cuts a selected region, adjusts volume, and adds fade in and fade out, then exports the result as a WAV file.
What you get:
- A trimmed or cut audio clip, ready to download as a WAV file
- Volume control and fade in/fade out on the section you keep
- no watermark on any recording or export
- Free to try: 3 uploads on the free plan, up to 2 GB each
How to Cut an MP3
- Upload the file: Add an MP3, WAV, or other audio file. Accepted formats are MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG and FLAC, up to 2 GB on the free plan.
- Mark the section: Drag the start and end handles on the waveform, or switch to cut mode to remove that section instead of keeping it. Add fade in or fade out if the cut needs a smoother start or end.
- Download the result: The tool renders your selection with the volume and fade settings applied and gives you a WAV file to save.
An uploaded MP3 comes back as a WAV file: the cutter decodes the audio to work with it, then writes a fresh file rather than re-encoding the original compressed format.
