A free way to split a song into samples
Need to chop a song into samples fast? This free sample chopper runs entirely in your browser. Load a track, pick how many pieces you want, and it splits the song into transient-aligned slices you can preview and download. It's a quick way to grab a hit, a vocal chop, or a one-bar idea without opening a DAW.
Because everything is processed locally with the Web Audio API, your file is never uploaded and nothing is stored. Slices export as clean 16-bit WAV files, ready to drag into any sampler or project.
One honest limitation: this chopper cuts on transients — the loud edges. It has no idea where the bar starts, so on jazz, ambient, or anything without hard drums it will guess wrong. The engine in the studio heard the whole song first: it cuts on the real beat grid, keeps loops bar-locked, and hands you the stems too.

Frequently asked questions
How do I chop a song into samples?
Drop an audio file into the tool, choose how many slices you want (4 to 32), and the free chopper splits the song at detected transients. Preview each slice, then download it as a WAV or grab them all as a ZIP. Everything runs in your browser.
Can I chop a song into samples free without signing up?

Does this online sample chopper cut on the beat grid?
This browser tool cuts at detected transients, not a verified beat grid. A transient is an abrupt sound change and may fall between beats. If you need beat-aligned loops and separate stems, use SongChop in the studio.
What is the difference between this and SongChop?
This tool splits a song into transient-aligned slices. SongChop separates stems, finds beat-locked loops, categorizes one-shots, and names everything by BPM and key to build a production-ready sample pack.
