MP3 cutter for any device: cut an MP3 to the exact part you want, right in your browser. Drag across the waveform or type the start and end times, listen to your selection, then download. It’s free, you don’t need an account, and your file never leaves your device.
How to use the MP3 cutter

- Press Cut audio, listen to the result, then press Download MP3.
Why use this free MP3 cutter?
Most online audio cutters upload your file to their server, make you wait in a queue, and sometimes add a watermark or ask you to sign up. This MP3 cutter works differently. Your browser does all the work on your own phone or computer, so nothing is uploaded. That makes it faster, and your recordings stay private.
It was built to be easy on a phone. The large buttons, the Start here and End here buttons, and the time boxes let you make precise cuts without fiddly dragging on a small screen.
What you can do with the MP3 cutter
- Keep only the best part. Trim the start and end of a song, podcast or voice recording.
- Remove a part from the middle. Choose “Remove it” and the parts before and after are joined together.
- Make a ringtone or alarm sound. Select up to about 30 seconds and add a short fade in and fade out.
- Save in another format. Save your cut as MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG or OPUS.
- Cut audio from other files too. WAV, M4A, FLAC and the sound from MP4 videos all work.
How the MP3 cutter works
MP3 is a compressed audio format, which is why MP3 files are small enough to share easily. This MP3 cutter is powered by FFmpeg, the same free, open-source audio and video engine used by many professional apps and streaming services. A version of FFmpeg built to run inside web browsers does the cutting on your own device. You get the same accurate, reliable results as desktop software, without installing anything or uploading your audio anywhere.

MP3 cutter FAQ
Is this MP3 cutter really free?
Yes. There’s no account, no watermark and nothing to install.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Your file is processed by your own browser on your own device. It is never uploaded, and nothing is kept after you close the page.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome and other modern browsers on phones, tablets and computers. Files can be up to 150 MB on a phone and 500 MB on a computer.
Will cutting an MP3 lower the quality?
The MP3 is re-saved when you cut it. Keep the Recommended quality setting and the difference isn’t noticeable.
Why does it take a moment to start the first time?
The first time, your browser downloads the audio engine (about 30 MB). After that it’s saved by your browser, so the MP3 cutter starts much faster next time.
