MP3 cutter

Type a start and end time and cut that exact slice out of your track. WAV and FLAC stay lossless; everything happens locally in your browser.

An MP3 cutter keeps only the segment between the start and end times you enter and discards everything before and after, so you end up with one clean slice of the original file. It's the quickest way to isolate a chorus, an intro, or a tidy 30-second hook without opening a full DAW or uploading your audio to a server. Because the whole process runs locally in your browser, the file never leaves your device between opening it and downloading the result.

AI tools like Suno often render tracks with a second or two of silence at the head, a tail that fades out awkwardly, or an extension that overshoots the length you actually wanted. Cutting lets you tighten the final export to exact section boundaries or fit a platform's length limit before you publish. One thing to know: cutting an MP3 decodes and re-encodes the slice, so it picks up one more round of lossy compression. If you still have the WAV or FLAC master, cut that instead — the slice stays lossless and you skip the extra generation of quality loss.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop the audio file you want to cut.

  2. 2

    Enter the start and end times (like 0:45 and 1:30).

  3. 3

    Click cut and download the trimmed file.

When to use it

  • Trim the few seconds of dead air Suno adds to the start and end of a track before uploading the final MP3 to DistroKid or Spotify.
  • Pull a 15-second hook out of a full song to post as a TikTok or Instagram Reels teaser without exporting the whole track.
  • Cut a clean chorus out of a WAV master to loop under a YouTube Short or drop into CapCut as background audio.

FAQ

Does cutting reduce quality?

WAV and FLAC files are cut losslessly. MP3 input is re-encoded at high quality (VBR ~V2), which is inaudible for almost all uses.

What time formats can I type?

Plain seconds (90), minutes:seconds (1:30), or hours:minutes:seconds (1:02:30) all work.

Can I cut an MP3 on my phone?

Yes. The cutter runs in any modern mobile browser, so you can open a track in Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android, type your start and end times, and download the slice — no app install, and no file-system access beyond picking the one file you choose.

How do I remove a section from the middle instead of the ends?

This tool extracts one continuous slice between your start and end times, which is ideal for cutting off silence or unwanted intros and outros. To drop a chunk out of the middle, export the part before it and the part after it as two separate slices, then stitch them back together with a merge tool.

Is there a maximum file size or track length?

There's no fixed cap set by the tool. Everything is processed in your browser using your device's memory, so the practical limit is your available RAM: song-length MP3s, WAVs, and FLACs cut almost instantly, while very long lossless files of an hour or more depend on how much memory the browser can allocate.
