Drop a file, drag the region you want to keep, add clean fades, and download the WAV. The fastest way to cut a song without opening a DAW.
Nothing is uploaded — your audio never leaves your device.
Drag to select the keeper. ←→ nudge the end edge, hold Alt for the start, Shift for big steps. Cuts snap to zero crossings — no clicks.
Trimming is scissors. SongChop is the whole workshop.
A clean cut is table stakes. SongChop turns the same song into a production-ready pack — stems, beat-locked loops, categorized one-shots, named by BPM and key. Sign up and run it: 3 full packs free.
Frequently asked questions
How do I trim an audio file online for free?
Drop the file into the tool, drag on the waveform to select the part you want to keep, preview it, and hit Download. You get a clean 16-bit WAV of just that region — cut at zero crossings so there are no clicks.
How do I add a fade-in and fade-out?
Set the fade lengths in milliseconds before downloading. The tool applies a smooth curve at the start and end of your selection — 10ms fades kill clicks; 2-second fades make intros and outros.
What does normalize do?
Normalizing raises (or lowers) the whole selection so its loudest peak sits just under full scale. It makes quiet phone recordings usable without changing the sound's character.
Does trimming re-compress my audio?
No — the trim happens on the decoded samples and exports as uncompressed WAV, so nothing is re-encoded and no quality is lost.
