How to Cut Audio Online

Published June 9, 2026 · 3 min read · By DownloadReels

Maybe you want a clean clip of a song, a sample for a video, or just the good part of a recording. Cutting audio is simple when you can see the waveform and select exactly the section you want — and you can do it free securely, with smooth fades and no upload.

1
Choose audio

Pick an MP3 or other audio file — a waveform appears so you can see the sound.

2
Select a section

Set the start and end times of the part you want to keep.

3
Add fades (optional)

Turn on fade in and out for a smooth cut, and choose MP3 or WAV.

4
Export

Cut the selection and download your clip.

Why fades matter

A hard cut at the start or end of a clip often produces an audible click or an abrupt jump. A short fade in and fade out — even a fraction of a second — smooths those edges so the clip starts and ends cleanly. It’s the single biggest difference between an amateur-sounding cut and a polished one.

MP3 or WAV?

Tip: Making a phone ringtone? Keep the clip under 40 seconds, or use the dedicated Ringtone Maker which exports the right format for iPhone and Android.
