Podcast, sermon, interview — cut a 2-hour recording in minutes without a DAW.

Step 1: Upload Your File

Click the "Choose File" button or drag and drop your audio file onto the page. WaveTrimmer supports MP3, M4A, AAC, and WAV formats.

Step 2: View the Waveform

Once uploaded, you'll see a visual waveform representation of your audio. This shows the volume and structure of your audio over time, making it easy to identify the parts you want to keep.

Step 3: Select Your Trim Points

Click and drag on the waveform to select the section you want to keep. You can adjust the selection by dragging the handles at the start and end of your selection. Use the zoom controls to get precise with your selection.

Step 4: Preview Your Selection

Click the play button to listen to your selected portion. This helps ensure you've selected exactly what you want before trimming.

Step 5: Download Your Trimmed Audio

Once you're happy with your selection, click the "Download" button to save your trimmed audio file to your computer. The file will maintain the same format and quality as your original.

The Waveform

The waveform shows the amplitude (volume) of your audio over time. Taller peaks indicate louder sections, while flatter sections are quieter. This visual representation makes it easy to identify different parts of your audio, such as speech, music, or silence.

Zoom Controls

Use the zoom slider or buttons to zoom in and out of your waveform. Zooming in allows for more precise selection of trim points, while zooming out gives you a better overview of your entire audio file.

Selection Handles

The blue handles at the start and end of your selection can be dragged to adjust your trim points. The selected region is highlighted, and the non-selected portions are dimmed.

Time Display

The current time position and total duration are displayed to help you navigate your audio precisely. You can see exactly where your trim points are located in minutes and seconds.
