Cut a Section Out of an Audio File
Cut a Section Out of an Audio File
About this option
Trimming keeps one part and discards the rest, but sometimes you want the opposite: remove a cough, a long pause or an ad from the middle of a recording. This page opens the trimmer in Cut mode, which deletes the selected region and joins the two remaining sides.
When to use it
- Removing a mistake, cough or silence from a recording
- Cutting an advert or intro out of a long audio file
- Deleting a section from a podcast or lecture without re-recording
How to use it
- 1Drop your audio file — Cut mode is already selected
- 2Drag the handles on the waveform around the part to remove, and preview it
- 3Click the export button and download the shorter file
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Trim and Cut?
Trim keeps the selected range and discards everything outside it. Cut removes the selected range and keeps everything outside it.
Will there be a click where the join happens?
Choose cut points at quiet moments, such as a pause between words, to keep the join smooth.
Can I cut several sections?
Cut one section, then load the result and cut another.
