Trim audio

A ringtone, a part of a lesson or a recording without the silence at the start: choose the section on the waveform.

How it works

Trim audio in three steps

  1. Choose your recording

    Drop an audio file or a video in the box. Spoel draws the waveform.

  2. Set start and end

    Drag the handles, use the arrow keys or type the times. Add a fade if you like.

  3. Trim and download

    Choose the format and save just that section. Your original stays as it was.

Questions

Good to know

  • What is a fade?

    The sound swells gently at the start (fade-in) or dies away at the end (fade-out), instead of starting or stopping abruptly. Handy for a ringtone or a piece of music.

  • How long can a recording be?

    To trim, Spoel loads the whole recording into memory: up to about 40 minutes. For longer recordings, Convert audio does work.

  • Is my recording sent anywhere?

    No. Trimming happens in your browser, on your own device. Nothing goes to a server.
