Audio editing is miserable. We make it less so.

45 tools that run right here in your browser. Drop a file in, get it back fixed. No uploads, no signup, no nonsense.

Cut & join

8 tools

Trim it, split it, stick bits together, cut out the dead air. All of it happens the instant you ask.

Convert

9 tools

Get your file into whatever format the thing you're using demands. MP3 and WAV are instant; the rarer ones grab a converter once and then fly.

Volume & loudness

5 tools

For recordings that came out too quiet, too loud, or all over the place. Includes the real loudness numbers Spotify and podcast hosts actually check.

Speed & pitch

6 tools

Faster, slower, higher, lower. The pitch-keeping ones use proper time-stretching, so nobody ends up sounding like a chipmunk.

Effects

5 tools

Reverb, echo, EQ, the spinning 8D thing. Rendered with your browser's own audio engine, which is better at this than you'd expect.

Utility & analysis

7 tools

Ringtones, recording straight off your mic, and finding out what's actually in a file.

AI studio

5 tools

Pull the vocals out of a song, split it into stems, or turn speech into text. The models download once and then run on your machine, which is why these are free and why nothing you feed them is uploaded.

Your audio never leaves your laptop.

Every tool here works inside your browser, on your own device. You do not have to take that on faith. It takes about thirty seconds to check, and we would rather you did.

Drop your file in

It gets read straight off your disk. Nothing to transfer, no queue to wait in, no size cap. A two hour recording opens about as fast as your laptop can read it.

Do the thing

Your browser has had a proper audio engine inside it for years, the same one running web games and video calls. We just gave it a decent set of buttons. Your device does the work, so nothing is waiting on a server somewhere.

Take it and go

The finished file is written by the same page and lands in your downloads. Close the tab and every trace of your audio is gone with it. That is the whole lifecycle.

Zero uploads, checkableWatch your network tab while you work. Not one request carries your file anywhere.
Fine on airplane wifiLoad a tool, go offline, keep working. No upload site on earth can pull that off.
Nothing to sign intoNo accounts exist here at all, so there is no password, profile or mailing list to end up somewhere it should not.
Built like someone caredWe spent an unreasonable number of hours on things like waveform accuracy so you would never have to think about them. What went into it and what we do with your data.

Common questions

Is this actually free, or is there a catch?
Actually free. No trial that runs out, no “pro” tier hiding the good stuff, no watermark on your file, no daily limit, no account. You will not be asked for an email. There is genuinely nothing to upgrade to.
Does my file get uploaded somewhere?
Nope. Your browser reads the file straight off your device and does all the work there. You do not have to trust us on this either: open your network tab while you edit, or flip on airplane mode after the page loads. Everything keeps working, because there was never anything on the other end.
How big a file can I throw at it?
There is no limit we set, because there is no upload to cap. The real ceiling is your own device: roughly 40 minutes of audio at once on a phone, a few hours on a laptop. If your file is too big, the tool says so up front instead of dying halfway through.
Which formats work?
MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus, FLAC and WebM all open straight away. WMA, AIFF and other oddballs go through the converter, which grabs a fuller decoder the first time you need it. Video files work too if you just want the audio out of them.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes, and it is built for it. Every control is thumb-sized, the waveform takes touch drags properly, and the ringtone makers assume you are on the phone you want the ringtone on. It also installs to your home screen if you want it there.
Does it work offline?
Once you have loaded a page, yes. Take it on a plane, use it on hotel wifi that barely works, whatever. The one exception is the format converter, which needs a single download the first time you ask for something unusual.
Why should I believe the no-upload thing?
Because you can check it in about thirty seconds and you do not need to take our word for anything. Open your browser tools, watch the network, and edit a file. Nothing leaves. Then pull your wifi and keep editing. No site that uploads your audio can do that.
